This is an insane opportunity! If you’re a Star Wars fan and looking to get in shape! This is the program for you! I can personally vouch for how incredible Paul Clingan and his program is unlike anything I’ve ever tried. I’m actually closing in on my lowest weight in a very long time thanks to Paul.

PROJECT COMPLETE!

After months of printing, sanding, assembling, painting, weathering, and countless hours of detail work, my life-size Super Battle Droid is finally finished!

This build became one of the most rewarding projects I’ve tackled so far. Every stage was an opportunity to learn something new, from refining paint techniques to adding the weathering, battle damage, and worn-metal look that helped bring this droid to life.

My goal was to make it feel like it had just stepped off the battlefields of the Clone Wars; and seeing it standing at full height makes all those late nights worth it.

This is exactly why I love this hobby: taking spools of filament and transforming them into something that feels like it belongs in a galaxy far, far away.

What do you think? Did I do the Separatist Army proud?

P.S. I will be adding LEDs to the inside of the head and the red dot on the side. For now this is complete though. 😊

Lost track of time in the shop tonight, and honestly, that’s usually when the best progress happens.

I added the blue accent panels to the Super Battle Droid and, while it’s screen-accurate, it still feels a little strange seeing color on a droid that’s usually just a wall of metal. I think once I finish weathering everything and blend it together, it’ll look exactly how it should.

I also started adding battle damage. Those dents aren’t painted on; they were actually formed by heating the plastic until it became pliable and then pressing in realistic impact marks before weathering them. My goal was to make it look like this droid has taken a few direct hits and kept marching forward.

One thing I’ve always loved about Super Battle Droids is how tough they felt in the movies and games. They weren’t sleek. They weren’t flashy. They were walking tanks.

Still a lot of work ahead, but it’s finally starting to develop some character.
