The MSE-6 "Mouse" Droid is most remembered for being scared by Chewbacca in the Death Star corridors of Star Wars IV: A New Hope. However, it appears through VII: The Force Awakens, perhaps event more often.

Build Logs

Several folks have been building mice, these might be helpful: Toby's MSE-6 is a great build log. Paul's got a thread with lots of interesting details. Roger's started an MSE-6 build. UK MSE-6 Builder's Club Droid - cute & fun! SDW Mouse Droid - Shubert's build. Lynelle has a thread for King Arthur. Savage of course starts from 3D models. MCK-Y is a Lego Mouse Droid for something different.

 == Sounds ==
-We never heard any sounds in the movie - maybe next time?
+TBD
 == Parts Reference ==
-The Sentry has flat sides, I'm not sure of the original material.
+TBD
-* Antennae - there are 3 antennae on the top
-* Head
-* Black neck ring - this contains LEDs on some sides.  The blue one is "front" on the movie droid for operator reference.
-* Body
-* Skirt
-* Faux wheels - each corner has a small black ball pretending to be wheels.  In practice they sit a few mm above the floor.
-* Lego greebles! - Yes, Lego!  The bottom black details were created from Lego, then molded and cast in lightweight resin.  Each of the 4 sides is theoretically identical, though I notice the seems in the corners don't fit perfectly on the movie model.
-* Holonomic drive - the movie droid has 4 omniwheels arranged so that it can rotate in place and move in any direction.  Allows interesting movement and makes it fun to drive.
-The original is not terribly heavy but awkward enough to be a two person lift when we saw it being carried off the stage.
 == Construction ==
-There are flat pack files in the gallery!  No complete builds yet, but they should be straightforward to laser/cnc/hand cut from styrene.
+TBD
