Bottom details

A very special feature of the H015 droid are its bottom details which are made using LEGO, as documented at rebeldroids.net. This level of detail is, however, far beyond our goal. On the other side, we want at least some similar details – so here is what we did.

We started gluing some cardboard at an angle on the four sides of the chassis. Then we added a second layer with some cut-outs, and glued a few smaller pieces of cardboard on top of that.

Once this is painted black, it shows a little structure, that somehow reminds one of the original.

We also cut a hole for the speaker and glue a few pieces of wood for mounting the electronics and for holding the batteries.
