BB-8 want-to-build thread (apparently I'm calling him BB-8)
#11
Well, here's Hatch 3... Probably decent enough.  Red bits will need extra work (access panel buttons and funny hash marks), but position's should be OK.

Still feeling pretty mixed about this.  The structure's going to be tough.  Then animating has a lot of additional challenges (duh).  I guess the fallback plan can be static, but that doesn't seem like much fun.

You'll see that I'm having trouble with the detail at this resolution.  L3-G0 had lots of funny shapes, so I could use different techniques in different places.  The closest here is probably Artoo's dome, but Artoo's dome is way less complicated.  (And my version wouldn't do well rolling around on the ground).

If you have a sharp eye, you'll note that I used tiles (flat spots) to indicate where some of the other details are, and also to mark the door on the access panel.  I'm wondering about edging those bricks (think like a sharpie around the edge to bring out detail), or maybe trying decals or something.
