BB-8 want-to-build thread (apparently I'm calling him BB-8)
#17
BB-8 
I guess I'll just call her BB-8.  Yea, crazy I know.  

I put circles on lots of my photos and decided her head is ~287mm and that the top is a hemisphere.  The remainder of the bottom is a cylinder (until the skirt part that goes in).  I started playing with a LDD model and this is going to be pretty tricky, however when I put my dome on a real dome in photoshop, the fit's pretty good Smile

Currently  I've been looking at having it studs-up about where the orange line starts, then studs-forward in the front, and then on each side studs-out.  The bottom ring isn't fitting very well though, so I may need to turn it so that bit's studs-up (or down).  That'd be like L3-G0's dome.  I'm able to have more "detail" in the direction of the plates, since the studs are 2.5x bigger.
