First appearance: BB8 Assembled With Lego Wizard Wars Parts... and Yet Information technology Moves at the End of This Tutorial

I watched "A inexperient hope" in 1977 (at that time the movie was called "Wizard Wars"), at the cinema (my 1st moving picture), with my father.

Since that year I've become a fan and I'm disagreeable to keep this "tradition" with my son.

Anyway, after watching the VII Episode of Genius Wars: "The Force Awakens", my son and I really liked the new droid BB8. My son has such a big collection of Lego Star Wars sets that could prepar feel envious an owner of a toy shop :-)

So, to cut the long story short circuit, we were staring at the ball/planet that comes with the Serial publication 3 Democracy Assault Ship & Coruscant

and we sentiment: "Why don't we bod BB8?"

The early pieces you need for the head, are showed in the picture above...

4586275 - 88293 (good)

I had the same pieces in black, therefore I've painted them.

Considering this version of BB8 has been painted past me, I would think this Lego set model as a fan art.

You need also other "bits" that I install the future pictures (eye, antennas, etc., etc.).

Step 1: Painting & Making the Templates

Sand the ballock with the sandpaper (1200 grit).

Paint it in white.

Attach the eye to the head of BB8

I know that Lego purists are believably against this matter, but non having just 2 knobs connected 1 section of the head, has affected me to use some UHU Por. By the way, it did the occupation perfectly and I don't think it has affected the beauty of this modelling.

If you don't like to build information technology this way, you can deepen the design adding the parts shown in the picture.

Make some paper templates for the orange parts of the ball

You basically have to paint the 6 sides of the ball...

Delight manipulation the... patience, instead of the force (at least this time)!

You ass find how to drag every one-member panel of BB8, only Googling the words: "bb8 panels".

Step 2: House painting, Again!

Screening the patience that just a Jedi can have, head start to add the details to BB8.

I used a pencil and later a paintbrush very, very humble.

Once more, use the... longanimity and look at as galore pictures as possible...

and your BB8 leave constitute down.

Step 3: Praise!

You now have your BB8...

Enjoy it!

Step 4: And Yet It Moves... and It Makes Some Noise :-)

The video shows a RC motored version, retributory to make Lego Rey figure happier ;-)

If you'd like to check what device power BB8, take a look at this Instructable...

I received a comment that was suggesting to add the sounds, so, hither they are.

When I've finished to make the static model, I felt horrible every clip I was looking at it...

BB8 has to move... in some way!
Considering the time taken to make the motorized Lego version of BB8 and because I do respect the work of the engineers who have created the original BB-8,

I would powerfully recommend to steal the plaything made aside Sphero.

That Company made an amazing job in putt so some technological features in such a trifle blank.

May the force bb8 with you.
