BB8 (75187) - Back to Star Wars!

We decided to return to Star Wars with our next build - the cute little droid we all love ... BB8!! This was a relatively small build in comparison to the usual large scale projects we take on.

It was a relatively simple build. The internals of the sphere are comprised of some technique pieces that allow for the 2 movement functions - the extension of the welding torch in the "thumbs up" sign and the swiveling of the head.

Here is the torch in its extended position. I really wish that it could go further so that the flame would be fully upright instead of angled in towards the torso.
