Hi All,
This is JPG Productions' 1/12 Imperial Probe Droid. This is a short run all resin kit, fitted with Tyridium Models lighting kit. The batteries and switch are in the main body, and the kit also supplies some magnets for a secure fit of the two body parts. The kit has some accuracy issues according to reviews, but it's good enough. I replaced the leg actuators with brass and aluminium rod as the kit parts very poor. I also added a few decals from the spares box. I'm particularly pleased with the base, made from the kit supplied part, some stones from our garden and Vallejo 'snow'.

Thanks for looking in,
Gareth

Gorgeous work! The weathering is spot on.

Wow, this is a wicked kit! Beautifully done. Have you ever done an AT/AT?

Thanks Ajay. smile I built an AT-At about 30 years ago, I think it was MPC branded in 1/144 scale. Some nice modern replacements by Bandai are around now, so I might do another one day.
