Here is a photo of the original doll I used the body and limbs from. The reason I picked this doll is because they are extremely skinny and droids tend to be as well and this also gave me room for changing the proportions and such - this dolls body also comes mostly apart so that allowed me to pop most of the body parts out to lengthen, bulk up etc.
First I did the head and hands - These were done entirely of sculpey over wire/foil.
The body was done in a two part sculpey shell and joined together around the elongated torso using epoxy and superglue.
I tried to keep geometric patterns and lines to maintain the droid aesthetic (not easy with soft sculpey!)
Lastly I painted all the parts. the paint peeled a bit at the joints sadly but the gloss I applied did allow the spray paint to dry properly and finished the metallic look I was hoping for.
