Andy Moore Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The latest droid to add to my ever growing collection, this is an EG-6 Power Droid, or 'Gonk'. They're a fairly common sight throughout the films and TV shows, although PT-1N here isn't based on any particular one. He's mainly constructed from 3D printed parts for the larger components, with some traditional kit bashing used for the details. It was a huge amount of fun to essentially design and manufacture my own kit, and I'll cetainly be doing more printed droid models in the future. The full build can be found here for anyone interested. Finally, here's a few comparison shots with my previous Gonk, DN-LD, who was built from a JPG resin kit, and one last shot with R-33K who was loitering around the photo booth. Thankd for looking Andy 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen Modeller Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Beautiful work - can’t decide which droid I love more. That C3PO is quite gorgeous:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaleModelHobbyist Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I know I’m in for a treat whenever there’s an Andy Moore post in the science fiction forum. You never disappoint. If you ever get around to releasing a gonk online, please let me know as I’d add one to my collection of other, as yet unbuilt, Star Wars figures from Bandai. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Mike Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 What an amazing build, I love it! Taken me right back to the heady days of primary school, when I finally managed to get my hands on one of these, and a Jawa, second hand from a fellow knee high pupil in a trade. I'd been after one for ever, or so it seemed to me at the time 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portaler Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Excellent stuff Andy !! They look great together ! With the planned 4 legger you'll soon have a "gaggle of Gonks" ? 🙂 Edited July 21, 2021 by Portaler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hats off to you, a creator of models and not just an assembler of kits like me. The painting is most excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Always such a pleasure and inspiration to see your work. Made all the sweeter in knowing that you designed it little guy yourself. Now that you have your start in this 3D printing jazz I wonder at just what you will come up with next. No doubt it will be exciting and grand. Thanks for sharing your great ideas, techniques and joyful outlook. Your work inspires. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never find the figure anywhere until I saw one of the stand that a local toy shop had set up at my school's summer fair. Bought the figure straight away, and I've still got it today (nearly 40 years later😬) On 27/07/2021 at 08:47, ScanmanDan said: Now that you have your start in this 3D printing jazz I wonder at just what you will come up with next. Thanks Dan, Well, I've got a few things planned, but it always seems to be time that's the limiting factor. I do have a quad Gonk that's nearly ready to go though.

kapam Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Incredible! I could be looking at mock-ups/costumery from one of the films! The pic with the Gonk and C3PO is totally realistic, to say the least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
