Mouse Droid Model

I could not find any relevant images of a mouse droid to use as a template. I decided to sketch my own using some images from Google as reference
(http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/b/b7/MSE-6_btm.jpg).

I started out with a box then extruded it downwards. I selected the side edges and added 4 new lines using the connect tool. I selected the polygons that the added lines made and extruded them out. I selected the top and bottom and used the select and uniform scale tool, to make the edges lean into each other.

I added lines on the side of the body with the connect tool to make a square. In the square I added 8 columns & 11 rows of lines to make little squares in the big one. I selected some of the polygons then used the bevel tool to extrude them out, then bring them in slightly to make a gap between each one. With the leftover gaps I used the Insert tool twice then used the extrude tool.

I created a rectangle on top of the mouse droid’s body with the Auto grid selected, so that the rectangle will sit on top of the body. I also used the Auto Grid for the cylinders sitting at the top.

With the line going down the middle of the droid, I deleted half of the body that does not have the detail on. I then used the Symmetry modifier to mirror the side across. I then converted the droid back to an editable poly.  For the wheel I used a cylinder then Boolean it from the droids body to place the wheels. The wheels are made from a cylinder. I used the Insert and extruded tool on the wheel to make the rims. The wheel are not connected to the body because they will probably be turning in the animation.
