Star Wars: A New Hope LIN-V8K Mine-Laying Droid from the Sandcrawler Scene

thingiverse

This is LIN-V8K, the black dome mining droid from the sandcrawler droid sale scene in the original Star Wars movie. I've been driven crazy by this guy since a very nice action figure was released. In most depictions of the droid, an arm sticks out of the dome, but the prop offers no proof of the arm nor any place for it to protrude. Second, the figure is minuscule compared to the prop, which was large enough for three Jawas to stand behind it. I've designed this model to be scaled to the 3 3/4" figure line based on the prop itself, not reinterpretations. My scale may still be a tad small, but it's closer than the action figure. The model is available both as a complete single object print and as a kit that can be assembled like most of my others if you want to print the dome in a nice smoky clear or black, and the rest in silver or gray. I've been teaching myself to 3D model by creating figures of obscure droids from Star Wars. Requests are welcome.
