OCD2 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Wondering if someone could model or kitbash this droid from The Mandalorian. Top photo is the request, bottom photo is an inspiration for potential kitbash option. HUM-3154, bigphil2695 and DarthValeria like this
ZanderNao Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Given that there's a prison ship map in the works, this would make a good companion piece for sure. The picture for your kitbash idea is a good texture match, but I haven't seen a model with those colors. Just the grey version of HK? Still, a very good idea over all! BlindDaThief and OCD2 like this

I'm not certain that color HK model exists - it just happened to show up when I was searching for images of the Security Droid. I believe someone was making the comparison between the two models, or indicating they were produced by the same manufacturer.
Noodle Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 If you have more reference pics laying around, please do post them since it makes a modeler's work much easier. Jeff likes this

How about a whole video detailing the droids? Also highlights the Type 2 droid, which they say was based of the R1 model from a New Hope. Perhaps a modeler could make a 2 models for the price of one - both the Episode 4 and Mandalorian version are very similar. HUM-3154 likes this
OCD2 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Posted December 11, 2020 Might need the stun baton that the security droid is shown wielding in episode 15. BlindDaThief likes this
BlindDaThief Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 K2SO is very similar in shape. Maybe a good starting point?
OCD2 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 Found this page about the creation of the droids, by the studio that did the special effects work. It has sliders that you can move from right to left where you can see the basic grey 3d modelled droids, or move the slider to the right and you can see the final textured product. Might be helpful to any prospective modeller. https://image-engine.com/case-studies/the-mandalorian-season-1/ Also, a video of their special effects work from season one. The droid footage begins around 3:28. https://image-engine.com/portfolio/the-mandalorian-season-1/ Very interesting just to see the production process.
ZanderNao Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I commissioned a 3D model maker to create the droid so that it could be rigged into game, but I haven't heard anything in a couple weeks and have no progress pictures yet. It's the same artist I had create the heads for the different R-series astromechs and the Pyke Pack. OCD2 likes this
