Chance Cubes...

I made 2 of these....took a pair of dice, covered it all with apoxy sculpt...sanded it down, then painted the sides. I then sanded the edges and the paint. I then took screen grabs from Episode I of Watto's and tried to duplicate the scratches. I then sanded lightly to smooth the scratches a bit, then dirtied them up a bit by handling with some brown and black paint on my hands..washed most of that off, they just can't look brand new.

I'm pretty happy with them...hope Cam is..since one is for is Watto (that I still want!!).

I wished afterwards that I had drilled out one side and added a weight to it..since Watto was a cheater. In Episode I it was supposed to land with red up so that Watto would lose Anakin's mother if Anakin won the podrace, but Qui Gonn used the force to make it land Blue side up so that Anakin would be freed. Would have been a nice touch if mine were weighted....

Battle Droid piece mounted

I got the piece in the mail yesterday. It came glued to a plastic cover over a picture and came with a letter of authenticity, with a picture of the piece on the exacst photo it came with. I decided that it would slightly discredit the letter if I remove the piece from the pic, so I attached the piece and the picture to my background. It fit nicely...just duplictates one of the pictures..which is ok.

Display for my new addition...

I am getting a small piece of a screen used Battle Droid from Star Wars Episode I..so I got a shadow box and made this display page.


Hope the piece arrives soon!!!
