RMweb Gold Corbs Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 I thought this may be of interest to some of us on here, in my day job I work at a video production company. We mostly make online ads but we try and make them as good as possible. Here's our latest work, we worked with Colin Furze (plumber turned madcap inventor) and James Bruton (toy maker inventor extraordinaire) to make this film for eBay in partnership with Disney. We built a full size TIE Silencer from the new Star Wars film and fully working droid companion! Hope you enjoy it. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good old eBay. So far today, I've received an item ordered and (allegedly) despatched 2 weeks ago, that I was refunded for yesterday. It arrived by Royal Mail 24, so I wonder when it was posted! And a reel of 3mm 3d printer filament, rather than the 1.75mm I ordered. I think I'd be locked in a straitjacket in a padded cell by now, if I'd had to order all the parts to make something like that . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not watching 'til I've seen the new one! Even new Empire/Rebellion kit is a spoiler for me if I've not yet seen it in action. I'm sure it is, ahem...Excellent...though. C6T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted November 30, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) If you want to see how they were made there are 2 behind the scenes videos coming out next week. Most of the droid was 3D printed on a lulzbot All Colin had to go off on the spaceship was a hasbro toy that he scaled up! No drawings or diagrams!

The Blue Streak Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Bloody Brilliant. The looks on that kids face when He went to the top of the Hill and saw it was worth a million bucks. I was 10 when the original movie came out in the 70's and loved it. (Still a bit of a closet fan now TBH ) Thanks so much for sharing that.
