Deathstar Droid Replica RA-7 protocol droid
The DEATHSTAR droid project began for me in about 2002 when I had some free time on my hands. No one had ever attempted a lifesize replica so I set to it. He's also known as an RA-7 protocol droid.

BUGDROID HELMET PLUS TORSO KIT







Here is the RA-7 resin cast kit . This is made to be a display but I can rotocast it with an even shell to allow you to modify it for wearability:



The RESIN CAST kit includes:
- Helmet shell (resin cast, hollow, not-wearable)
- Visor (clear or white plastic)
- Resin chin
- Metal antenna
- 2 resin-cast neckbolts
- Forehead Medallion (resin cast)
- 2 tusks (resin casts)
- resin details
THIS IS WHAT A FULL TORSO WITH HEAD KIT LOOKS LIKE:

HOW IT WAS MADE:
With the help of a local denver sculptor, Mr. Tim King, we set about creating this unique character. Below you can see the original sculpt.
This is the result of the molding and casting sessions:
I coordinated with my auto body paintshop to have one professionally painted. Here's the result. Contact me if you'd be interested in a raw kit.
