Plenty of die hard Star Wars fans out there shell out a decent amount of money for collectibles, merchandise, you name it so that their lives can be enriched and more “Star wars themed.” Some have even taken to building their own props and products that pay tribute to the franchise. And some have taken this level of building to heights that even the most professional of craftsmen would be impressed with. Take Darren Moser for example. Darren created a very lifelike replica of the K-2SO from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. But how did he do it? Luckily the guys from Youtube channel “Tested” decided to check it out:
Using PVC pipe and black sculpted foam, Moser is on his way to having a screen accurate K-2SO that he can walk around with at conventions. The head is 3D printed based on a replica that he found online, and inside of it is a wireless camera that feeds a video signal to an iPad on the back of the droid that allows Moser to see where he’s going. To make the puppeteering look a little mor natural, Moser will dress up as an Imperial officer, making it look like he’s just there doing some work, looking for Rebel scum.
Pretty impressive. H/T to /Film
