My bottles came today. Now my ROTS Pepsi R2-D2 cooler is complete.

Here we have Wedge and Biggs enjoying a soda before their big mission to destroy the Death Star.

TOO COOL!
I love it!  I wasn't sure about the shape of the dome before, but after you explained that it was "cut-out" so that pepsi bottles could fit in, I really wanted to see how that would turn out.  Excellent work!  ;D

Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.
It's as big as a house on walking legs,
and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

I wish the bottles were a little smaller but it gives the effect I wanted.

Phruby, I love it. That picture is hilarious. :D The droid looks even better with the bottles in there.

I'm almost done with mine, hopefully I should be done in 30 minutes to an hour.

Phruby, that is so damn awesome.  I really, really like that.  So creative and a great addition to this month's challenge.

Honestly, that's one of my favorite customs of yours.  So cool!

I'm glad you guys like him. It's good to have another one done. Now I've got to get my Snoova, terrorist and custom of me on track.

With minutes to spare, here is my droid, he is a former war droid turned salvage droid. Instead of scraping it this obsolete war, the droid's owner converted him into a salvage droid. His right arm was replaced with with a rusty old plasma cutter and his legs were chopped of at the knees and he was given legs with large electro-magnetic feet so he could grip the hulls of destroyed starships and other space junk, though the droid is usaully stationed on planet because his owner was too cheap to fit him with any type of space propulsion device.

Nice work!  I like the concept  ;D

Good paint job as well, he really looks like a formerly-junked droid.

Cool! He looks really rusty. What color did you use for the orange rust legs?

NICE. I'm digging the very rusty look of that droid. Good use on parts. Is it too late to enter my 3P0 unit that I've not showed pics of?

Thanks guys. :)

The cammera made the rust a litle brighter than it really is, but it is a Folt Art Terra Cota.

SLC, this is a true work of art!  Why is it that such ugly droids always look so cool?

Excellent use of parts and painting, but it's the head that does it for me.  He looks pretty scary and reminds me of the probe things in War of the Worlds.  Freaky!
