EGL Power Droid

I'm sorry. I'm an idiot and I totally mistyped. The game they're in was and is Battlefront II. I happen to be playing Fallen Order right now, so for some reason that's what I typed.

Sorry I am late to this thread. Did you ever finish this EGL-21? I too am in the process of building one ... thanks to your inspiration! I have the faceplate, legs and feet built, per your instruction and the 100 liter water butt is on its way from Belgium and other plumbing parts from Germany. I am hoping to finish it in April and can post photos.

Looking good!

The body arrived yesterday and made more progress. The "holoprojector" aka Airfit screw-fit branch coupling is on its way from Germany. And the back attachment via Amazon from England (I think). Once those parts are added, I'll paint and weather. But like the progress so far!

Hello there.

Well, I've sort of been through various problems that sent me in and out of hospital, so all my projects were put on hold, but I still hope to finish this neat little guy soon enough.

Nice to see someone else making one of these too. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Maybe it will inspire me back to working on mine again soon too.

I hope you get well soon and build the droid too so we can compare notes. There’s no way I could’ve done this without your extensive research! The remaining parts are maybe a week or so out so I will post more pictures in a little while.

A friend of mine in Germany ordered an Airfit screw-fit branch coupling off Germany Amazon and it looked like the darker grey product (see photo) but what arrived and he shipped to me is the lighter gray piece (see photo also).

Anyone know if the one I'm getting is a newer model, replacing the other? I'd rather have the exact piece, but don't want to keep ordering based on part photo and keep getting the other one!?!

My measurements showed a 110mm 50mm screw fit branch coupling. Well, I think I’m wrong and Jehudah is correct. This one looks a little big after installing on the water butt. Now I am convinced the 125 mm 40 mm is the correct size. I also think Airfit doesn’t make that same model so I had to dremel off some little side supports to make it look like what’s on the droid. Now the big decision, just leave this or try to track down and wait another month for a 125 40 to ship from Europe!

And since it appears this page is the most comprehensive location for all-things EGL power droids, here are a few screenshots from the Bounty Hunter game at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge in Florida. The EGL is named BO-LT or "Bolts" and I have been referencing these images quite a bit.

Here's the latest. More EGL-21 parts arrived today. I did source the actual rear power coupling and replaced, also added the front scanner. More parts ordered. Started a little painting too.
