This little duo is a remake of the set called XT-5 and Droid, www.flickr.com/photos/45313042@N08/5785969981/in/photostr...
I had this set as a kid, so I had a pretty clear idea of how I wanted to remake the XT-5 (rocket chair). I kept the same basic shape and lines of the the chair, I basically just swapped out old pieces for newer ones that smoothed out the contour. I was even able to make a little blue helmeted pilot... just like in the classic set. I also added two minifigure hands to the rear to greeble the thing up a bit.
The droid was a little harder to recreate. The original is so simple that recreating him, even with newer parts, would have resulted in exactly the same droid. Therefore, I went the dome route, and made something straight out of a 1950s black and white drive-in flick.
Enjoy!
Comments and criticisms welcome.

An official postcard of Alex shortly before the re-modelling of Alexanderplatz, pedestrianisation and removal (until recent restoration) of trams. The Tatra 603 is in a less formal hue. On the right, the famous Berolina house 8-storey with reinforced concrete skeleton , built in 1930-2 according to designs by P. Behrens. Both it, and its twin (Alexanderhaus) opposite somehow managed to survive the Battle for Berlin, albeit damaged and will also surive the current second remodelling of Alexanderplatz - which has already thrown up a building more hideous than anything ever constructed in GDR times. A significant pair of buildings,the only 2 to reach fruition in a bold 1920s plan to remodel Alex.. The Berlin C2 central post office was behind the Tatra. DDR postcard publishers always tried to incorporate a nice car into the picture to give an impression of affluence.
Outside the Alexanderhaus, between 1933 and 1944, when it mysteriously disappeared, stood the 7.5m high bronze sculture of Berolina, the work of the East Prussian Emil Hundrieser (1846-1911). It was erected in 1895,but removed in the mid 20s for U-Bahn work, and because it conveyed messages of Prussian militarism. Public outcry brought it back in 1933 for a further 11 years when it is believed to have been melted down. It stood on a 6m plinth but was rather squeezed between the roundabout and the obtuse angle in the Alexanderhaus.
An interesting 2003 document with history and future plans for Alex is found here, full of photos new and old

This is William Smail the village bobby in Stow of Wedale, Midlothian, Scotland. This is 1946 and he has plenty of time to cultivate his snapdragons in this law abiding village. Since 1975 Stow has been in the Scottish Borders Region when several old Scottish counties were amalgamated.
This is part 2, week 8 was Winter.
Already there have been some changes.
On the Island the government relaxed the restrictions so this was my first non-essential journey out in 5 weeks. I had almost written off getting a Spring shot.
This monarch butterfly was visiting many common milkweed plants in an area full of them!

This desk matches the desk I have in my craft room. This one is a darker wood. Also, this one cost $8 and the one in my craft room cost $40 or $50!
This photo was my son's idea. He positioned Jake like that and held him on the deck while I took the photo. He did a great job. ;)
This beautiful lady kept telling me she's not photogenic! I beg to differ! Press L for a better look!
this is in front of a masjid (mosque), notice the lady on the right is wearing a niqab (face-veil) which is not an uncommon sight in morocco
This is the sign for the famous Boston Restaurant (波士頓餐廳) in Wanchai (灣仔).
I really like the bright classic neon; I must have been reminded of the feel of the movie 2046 when I took this shot on July 4th, when Boston (the city in the US) lights up with its annual Esplanade fireworks.
Be sure to try the sizzling steaks!
This is a boxer that came in this morning. He's a powerful boy, all sinewy and muscled up. Unfortunately, he has a terrible underbite, which has resulted in him losing his front lower teeth. He was a sweet boy, though, well-behaved, and only showed his boxer-ness while I was brushing him out, with his butt wiggling (his tail was just a stump) 90-outta-nothin the whole time.
This reg came on a Bova which arrived as a mobile breast screening clinic though was converted back to a coach in house.That has long gone though the reg number is these days on this ex army Dennis.
This one shows the delightful Victorian pierhead building alongside the elegant National Assembly for Wales building.

This is a rare 1968 Ford Mustang GT California Special that was on display at the show.
Taken at Marong Picnic Car Show, Victoria in 2015.
This model was inspired by half of set 75875, Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford Model A Hot Rod. The car has been turned back into a regular non-racing Model A, but this time in green.
This is part of the abandoned market at the Packard plant in Detroit. Had a great adventure the other day with my best friend Derek, thanks my friend!
This is the male from the pair of White-breasted Nuthatches that always comes to see me on my walks.
Went to the 5th annual "The 1 Moto" show in snowy Portland. Saw a bunch a rad bikes and met some good people.
This species occurs around almost the entire coastline of Australia, inhabiting sandy beaches and mudflats. Like the Sooty Oystercatcher, it grows to about 50cm. Taken on Bruny Island, Tasmania.

This started off with a regular photo of the red-wing blackbird on my driveway, but I played with it a lot in Photoshop Lightroom until it looked drawing like. Increasing the exposure, shadows, highlights, and blacks a lot left the cement mostly white. Similar could be done by over exposing the shot in camera. From the near overexposed bird, I turned the Clarity slider to full power.
