RA-7 Droid Replica
This was always my favorite Star Wars droid, so, I had to make it! The head and shorts are hand sculpted, the torso, legs, arms, hands, were modeled in zbrush then 3d printed. The shoes are hollow cast in flexible urethane rubber from one of my C-3PO molds.
Full costume on stand.
Sculpting the head with Monster Clay
Test fitting some parts.
The RA-7 parts in Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and Disney World were cast from my parts.

One of the castings in private hands.
before it was silver, the suit was black! I show up in the Vader fan film.
Some in-progress zbrush of the costume.
