My take on the probe droid. I would call it the "Ultimate Lego Probot" (I am so modest), except that the antenna is just too thick. It can't be replaced, though, because it is holding the top of the head on. UPDATE: Professor McRackel has proposed an effective fix. Pics to come!
If they ever come out with a black ice pick, it would work really well on one of those longer legs...
As an aside: it appears that the models used in filming had different numbers of arms: one had five, another had six... the additional arm is very small and easily missed. I went with five because that is the number most people see to think it has.
I wanted to build a ship/probe module that had the textures of current technology coupled with the shapes and lines of the sci-fi world not yet invented. All stickers are official (from the Discovery line.) All pictures at Brickshelf once moderated.

An American eel (Anguilla rostrata) probes the soft sand within a nearshore marine area of Prince Edward Island. Here in PEI, eels have been found to spend a significant portion of their adult lives in a saltwater environment, rather than the freshwater biomes most people associate adult eels with.
Inside its protective shipping container, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is loaded into a C-17 from the United States Air Force’s 436th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in the early morning of April 3, 2018. From Joint Base Andrews, the spacecraft was flown to Titusville, Florida, where it was taken to Astrotech Space Operations for pre-launch testing and preparations.

This image displays a swirling spiral galaxy named NGC 2906.
The blue speckles seen scattered across this galaxy are clusters of massive, young stars, which emit hot, blue-tinged radiation as they burn through their fuel at an immense rate. The swaths of orange are a mix of older stars that have swollen and cooled, and low-mass stars that were never especially hot to begin with. Owing to their lower temperatures, these stars emit a cooler, reddish radiation.
This image of NGC 2906 was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3, an instrument installed on Hubble in 2009 during the telescope’s final servicing mission. Hubble observed this galaxy on the hunt for fading light from recent occurrences of stellar explosions known as supernovae.

It's snowed today, so keep an eye out for those Imperial Probe Droids in the front yard. Never know if they'll find your secret base.
Maybe he could shoot down the idiots driving around today. I wanted to go out, but turned around after finding the second multi-car pileup on the road. It's not that bad out there! Drive slower!
Not sure if I've ever previously seen one of these in France, or anywhere else in Europe for that matter.
A C-17 from the United States Air Force’s 436th Airlift Wing, carrying NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, lands at 10:40 a.m. EDT at Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Florida, on the morning of April 3, 2018. After landing, the spacecraft was unloaded and taken to Astrotech Space Operations, also in Titusville, for pre-launch testing and preparations.

A manmade mini comet. Captured with iTelescope T17 and 72
The results of the DART probe impact on the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos. The impact ejecta resulted in a bright object with a primary tail and two other lobes emerging. The tail grew to and by October 8 a very bright tail was visible, but a week later on October 16th the tail has distinctly changed perhaps indicating it is fading and the dust is dispersing with the solar wind. Note the three lobed structure is faded by October 25th with the two minor lobes gone. It appears that the results are the impact are fading after four weeks much as a comet would fade after an outburst. The dust trail is still faintly visible almost 2 months later, on November 20th.
see: noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2223/ for an amazing image two days after impact from SOAR telescope of the features captured in low resolution in my image. Note the
three lobed ejecta resulting from the impact of DART.
October 11 2022 : In a press conference NASA (www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-confirms-dart-mission-imp...) showed the long tail is the dust tail pushed by the Solar wind like that of a comet and the other two small lobes are debris blasted from Dimorphos.
The recently launched Proba-V miniaturised satellite captured this image over the border region of northern Syria, southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq on 28 May. The area pictured is about 500 km across, with large reservoir lakes along the Euphrates River visible on the left, and another along the Tigris River on the right. In the central-right portion of the image, we can see Iraq’s Sinjar mountains. Proba-V will map land cover and vegetation growth across the entire planet every two days with its Vegetation imager. In this image, the contrast between the green areas – some with agricultural plots – and the sparsely vegetated areas is evident. It demonstrates Proba-V’s ability to see slight differences in vegetation cover. Vegetation intensity and health can help in crop yield predictions and to map interannual changes in vegetation cover.

Custom model of the famous Viper probe droid better known as the imperial probe droid.
This MOC has 5 arms, which is the correct number, unlike the officiel set which has 6 arms.

Although i have yet to make it by there lately
there are currently over 20 WHIM and a single MAGO hanging about VGC on the regular migration stopover
I find it fun to photo doc. a species in a variety of habitat context.
