Paperminis: BB-series Astromech Droids
BB-8 the spherical rolling astromech unit belonging to Poe Dameron is quite the popular droid. Finally I had gotten around to making paper miniatures of its type of droid for your Star Wars RPG campaign. Obviously the scale is wrong because a 20-30mm scale football sized figure would not be […]
