I grew up watching the original Star Wars movie as an 8 year old boy
(you know the one where Han Solo shot Greedo FIRST!!! not the atrocity Lucas produced later
).
i digress.
i really enjoyed the early movies, then.
After watching some of the newer movies with my son, i got an idea.
i watched the Revenge of the Sith again and decided that i would copy General Grievous for fun!
for the uninitiated, General Grievous ....
i copied and transferred the image to 4 sheets of paper and started copying the bot!
i used flame bent wrenches for the legs, chain link cut in half for the toes, welded to base metal.
a broken 3/4" carriage bolt for the body, sheet metal adornments from scrap stock,
the head was made from a Ford Truck Lugnut, welded to 1/2"steel tube tubing, copper head dressings,
the arms were made from wrenches & welded to hex stock, the light sabers were rusted 3/16 steel round stock.
a few welds here and there 3/32 E6011 DCEP,
a couple brazed bronze features like the the eyes, and here we get the results!!!!
General Grievous......
Thanks For Looking!!!
