can figure out how you’ve done the figure as a whole.
Seriously, though, **very** cool work. This one’s my favorite of them all, so
far. :)
Thanks,

Thanks, Franklin!
I guess the biggest reason I haven’t made any kind of instructions for these
guys is that I just haven’t had the time. I did make instructions for the
Battle Droid, but that’s the only one so far.
I never do any planning beforehand when building something -- I just sit down in
front of my pieces and start sticking things together, making the shapes up as I
go along. I tried designing a model once in the computer first, but I found
that it made things just more difficult. I like designing hands-on much better.
So, that means that any instructions I make would be done after I finish
building. I’d have to rip the figure apart just remember how it went together.
Although, I’ve noticed recently that I’ve been swiping parts from old figures to
use in new things, so as some characters are starting to really thin out, it’s
probably a good idea that I start putting them into the computer so I can
remember how to reassemble them. If I do that, I’ll definitely turn them into
instructions.
Another thing, too, is that all the pieces I’ve used in them are ones that I’ve
just got lying around. I don’t special order anything, so I just use what I
already have. So, that means I might have built the figure differently had I
had better parts. Sometimes I feel like if I were to make instructions for one
of them, it would kind of be like saying, “this is how it must be done.” I know
other people could surely come up with some better parts choices in plenty of
instances -- I know there’s more than a few of them I’d do much differently had
I done them now instead.
Basically, though, I guess it just boils down to the fact that, in general, I’d
just prefer to spend all the spare time I can get building new stuff, instead of
rebuilding old stuff. But, I really would like to be able to re-use all those
parts from the one’s I’ve built, so instructions would let me do that. Someday!
