Trade Federation homing spider droid

    My favourite vehicle from the prequels. I would've preferred to use technic axles for the legs to stop them bending but I've only got one of these in bley. There's ways around it but I'm sick of fiddling with it! I took me ages trying out different designs for the "eye", not sure if this is the best fit?

      Dang it, I had the same idea! You probably executed it way better though. :P Nice work mate. :)

      Can't help but chuckle at the irony. But, very cool build!

      This is what the set should have looked like!

      This one is way better than the LEGO set. Awesome work, sir.

      Very nice. I'm considering in buying the Death Star set just to build an Octuptarra droid!

      I've got the official set in box, that collect dust on my desk (it was a gift) - I never found it really interesting, too far from the "real" thing which is indeed a cool stuff. Your version do justice to this vehicle, it's sooo much better than the set ! Almost an UCS - very, very nice !!!

      Very very nice! Really captures the look and spindliness of the original.

      I was waiting for someone to do this, good show sir!

      Perfect use of the Death Star! That's pretty close to the "correct" scale I think- they were supposed to be pretty big.
