The Assault on Hoth
I picked up my first Imperial SnowTrooper as it was one of two awesome toys that came with the Lego Star Wars magazine. The Elite Praetorian Guard caught my eye because I had previously bought the Elite Praetorian Guard battle pack (75225). I then picked up another Imperial SnowTrooper, an epic toy on the cover of a later Lego Star Wars magazine
Acquisition of the SnowSpeeder (75268) bought me into possession of another SnowTrooper and then I was ready to start formulating a SnowTrooper battle pack
With three SnowTroopers and a Speeder Bike (from 75268) I was ready to upgrade my existing probe droid
Having previously created the probe droid as a study model for the LIDAR Droid MOC, and with the creation of the Hoth Battle Pack series, I returned to remodel the probe droid, one which is more authentic to the Viper droid from the Empire Strikes Back

I looked up references from the YouTube, but in the end I styled it out myself. Part of the reason that this is a beta version of the battle pack is that I need to collect the correct coloured parts to assemble the finished droid . . .
