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....

Thanks man! Send me your address and I will send one your way!

Weathering is easy! Making things look good in the first place (like your R2) THAT'S hard!
