Throwback Thursday: Red Cup Wrap 2017

Our services were requested by Lee.T as ‘special droid servers’ for a wrap party event, back in 2017.

This was a great honour to attend and we got to show everyone our ‘driving skills’ as well as getting to rub shoulders with cast/film celebs…😄. Once our duties were finished we were then able to enjoy the rest of the night.

Can’t believe it’s been four years!!

New Book - ILM presents 'Making Solo' by Rob Bredow

Book came and jumped right in. Amazing behind the scenes photos! Stories of how shots where set up. Locations & scenes are broken down into chapters.

There’s a great black and white picture of R2-SB

(Book came next day, just forgot to click post on this for the Blog)

PsyfoolRulez Customz - Solo - a Star Wars Story

I follow on Instagram & on Facebook 'PsyfoolRulez Customz'.

He does incredible paint jobs on not only droids, but other model kits as well,

like toy blasters, diaramas & helmets etc.

Yesterday he posted up on Facebook, his set of droids he's recreated using

different model kits, these are NOT the Disney Droid Factory set

you can buy from the Disney store as a four pack!

These are all pictures he posted up on his Facebook page.

Solo - 3D printed trading card display

After designing the display for holding the four Solo cards from the Odeon cinema.
(see past post)

I wanted to have a stand to show off, individually, the four Astromech Droid trading cards, with a single Solo card. Three have their own cards, R2-F1P, R2-S8 & R5-PHT.

R2-F1P, R2-S8 & R5-PHT.

There is another astromech seen in the film, but it doesn't have a trading card. The fourth droid (see picture below) are also the droids from the Disney Droid Factory, toy set.

So I used the slot size I had used on the previous stand & then measured up the cards. I display my cards in protective plastic sleeves, so these are the dimensions I used for the trading card slot. The above three droid cards are vertical, the final card, of R5-232, who doesn't have a card like the above, can be seen on base card no.57. This card features an Imperial Stormtrooper, is a horizontal style.

I'll add some paint to the text to make it stand out

This was a test print and it lifted off the bed a bit, but it worked and the cards fitted well.
I then redesigned the slot to fit the vertical cards.

I've added these 3D stl files to my Thingiverse account.
