Hi from Scotland

Hello everyone, my name is Gareth and I'm addicted to building droids.

When I saw BB-8 in the trailer for TFA I knew I had to attempt to build one. I had originally started building the full scale one from The BB-8 builders club in early January last year when the call for droids for SWCE was put out and specifically BB-8 units.

I described I would take on the challenge of making a ½ scale one in time and got started on it around six weeks before Celebration. I made it just in time as I was still painting the last panel the day before getting on the train to London. Unfortunately it was purely static with no lights or anything else, although I had built in a charging port.

He made his second appearance at the largest 3D printing show in the U.K. The TCT show in Birmingham in late September where he took a fall and cracked his dome. By the time this had arrived I had managed to get lights in his dome.

Pics from Celebration and TCT show. Also some of my full scale build.
