My Star Wars BB-8 build

Been alternating between this and the invader attack craft.
Not sure why the lower body looks indented instead of more round but this is a first time build. Still need to add the Hologram lens to the top.

Ever try to get an orange peel to lie completely flat? This is the same situation, only in reverse...

Would be interested in seeing what you come up with water forming!

I made a different model that used a novel approach to the round ball problem that worked quite well for me. I'll poke around and see if I can find it.
But basically, you make 6 rounded shield-shaped segments that go together to create the ball body. The head was more traditional.

However, when I try to download the model from deviant art the page that it is retrieved from trips my antivirus and it gets blocked.

I know Deviant Art can be a risky page. I down-loaded a few years ago, I think.
He is using 4Shared which has been known to spread virii.
My work PC blocks all such sharing sites for just that reason. I use my Android Phone for these down-loads as it's a smaller target for infection.
Or, you could get a bootable Linux CD or USB stick and down-load to file that way?

Cheers,

John Gay
