A 1 to 1 Scale Model of a Viper Class Imperial Probe Droid
First seen in the chronologically 5th movie: The Empire Strikes Back the Viper-Class Imperial Probe Droid has been known as a point of mystery with almost no canon appearances in the Star Wars Universe. Even still quite a few fans intrigued and sparked the interest of makers.
The Droid only had 2 models made for its short appearance in The Empire Strikes Back so finding references to model and use to properly scale is difficult. Most resources are from other maker's personal projects but sadly in the spirit of the project that isn't something to use as a direct source, only a secondary source. So a lot of creative choices needed to be made based upon the short times of footage and copious amounts of time spent poring over comparisons and the correct scale of items
