Mk2 Backstory

"The MK1 Observation Drone was a very popular model, famed for it's clarity and robust build quality, so it wasn't long before the Mk2 was developed. Given a completely new head full of optics, these units were more compact, longer lasting and with greater mobility.

One of the biggest problems with the Mk1s was that many were often damaged by predator attacks. When deployed in forests or jungles, many were jumped on from behind by Bears, large Cats and irate Squirrels. Making them bigger would have solved this problem, but would have seriously impacted their covert nature, so instead a trick learnt from the humble butterfly was employed. The rear cooling ports were fashioned into the appearance of eyes and the filter unit, a nose, tricking predators into believing they were looking at the front instead. No more sneak-attacks!

As a last resort for the bold or persistent animals, two Tesla Coils were mounted on top of the unit with the ability to arc 160,000 Volts between them. Most animals considered a shock of this magnitude not worth their time no matter how many tasty, chewable wires lay inside"

Cris-says: These chaps are the first run of what i hopeto be a regular release of custom Dunnys. As i enjoy creating original robotic resin pieces so much, i felt it made sense to do a completely new head for the 3" Dunny when i brought out the Mk2. I made sure to design it such that it stood up without any additional support or alteration to the body, even tho it's considerably top heavy (the body is a hollow vinyl dunny body and the head is solid resin) which was no easy task."


"I also took the opportunity to engrave my name, the model number and my home town into the lense and emboss my crown logo in the back of the head. Each one has been hand painted by myself with the rusting effect alone consisting of 10 colours. Finished off with a little moss, these guys have been sitting around the forest for quite a while, so i hope they found what they were looking for!

Mk3 is already well under development and i'm planning on creating similar robotic customs with other popular platforms too - so if you have a request, please drop me an email at cris (at) crisrose.co.uk!"


Spankystokes will also be having a giveaway with a Metalic Blue "Twilight" edition, with matching ROSE factory sign. It's 1/1 and the very first one ever cast and painted. Cris will also be throwing in one of his Butterfly Paintbomb Tees in black and silver!
