DRDI modified a Roomba Braava Jet 240 to look like a Farscape DRD so it can do the mopping in my home in style. I plan to do more rebalancing of the weight but was surprised the maneuvering held up pretty well despite being converted from a small (7") square Roomba to a larger oval DRD. Its size (10.5"x8.5") is a little smaller than a real DRD (14"x10") to help with that and make it easier to get through obstacles like chair legs. Click on the image to the left for a video of it in operation, sped up 8x. |

RygelI sculpted a Rygel head and latex coated/painted it atop a Yoda plushie body. It's hollow inside and has straps so can also serve as a small backpack. |

John Crichton - PeacekeeperThe vest was made out of duct tape and ABS buckles. The leather pants and army boots were bought. I also made a jacket, but it never fit quite right. |
|
John Crichton - AstronautThis costume was entirely purchased. I just added the patches to the jacket and made the communicators for Rygel and myself. |

WinonaThe pulse pistol was initially carved out of wood, but has since been replaced with a resin cast version. To each, I added an LED and a laser sight. I made the holster out of a mix of hard plastic, nylon straps, ABS buckles, pleather and real leather. |
