So the last building used by ILM to create models for Star Wars in the 1970s closed recently and Adam got hold of some of the racking and supplies and used it to transform his workshop.

Here's the video. Have a stab at estimating the cost of buying all those supplies today, at retail prices, if you want to be depressed/envious...

Adam Savage Designs His Dream Star Wars-Inspired Droid.

This is a promotion for a competition organized by Lucasfilm and the CAD software company to promote the new Acolyte series.
It's really interesting to see how you can design your own model kit in just a few days (with lots of experience, of course).

So when does that droid come out as a kit by Bandai?
