I picked up a couple of 3D printed Gonk droids off eBay the other day, cos I love Gonk droids.  No idea why, I just do :shrug:

 

It's about the fourth figure I've painted now after a 30 year break, the other two being the B1 Battle Droids I painted the other day.  I'll post up some pics of them shortly.  I'm still learning the ropes, and painted this with an orange go-faster stripe just because I could, but I think it was a bit too thin, as it took too many coats and you can see brush-marks if you look closely :rolleyes:

I've still got his buddy to do, and I plan on doing him a different colour, and as you can see it's also going to be based somewhere like a star ship or base.

Those are nice little models Mike.  I've liked those since the film was doing the rounds but I didn't realise that they were called Gonks.  It just shows how much attention I paid when Storm Troopers weren'around! :undecided:

There was one on the Sand Crawler when Artoo and Threepio were captured by the Jawas.  It just shuffled past the camera going "GONK!" at random intervals. :shrug: They developed them into wandering batteries or 'Power Droids' later on.

Very nice work, Mike. How big are they? Banananana sized mayhap?

:lol: about 20mm tall for this little fella at a guess. He’s only just over waist height IRL. 
 

As a rule of banana, the bases fit inside the edges of the lid of a Gunze paint pot.
