Torso troubles

It's been too long!

We finally have some decent parts! After too long and lots of life getting in the way, poor TC14 has had to take a back seat. She's been looking down at me from the display shelf wondering if she'd ever get any new parts...
Well finally she has! As you can see from the photo I have a very decent, well made torso. Hopefully we can kick start this project and have a protocol droid to be proud of :-). More photos soon x

My 3D reference

As anything like this, good reference material is essential! Books, models, plans even etc. I've had in my collection a wonderful figure of 3po for a long time and so far it has been invaluable with this project. Wonderful detail

Here we go again...

So these legs are not going to easy.... From the photos you can see the detail needs a lot of work! I've decided to start on the left shin, no reason other than I picked it up first. Early photos show here damage and unfinished bits and I've started to break this up and start again from scratch, dremelling, cutting and filing. More pics soon

Where have you been?

So after a hectic period where we've moved and refurbished our new house, it's time to get back to this rather tricky project!
This has coincided with me acquiring some more parts off eBay. Let the fun begin

Dalecon 2, Feb 14

This weekend we took Tc14 out for a little trip out (with her new eyes), along to Dalecon 2 in Rochdale where I came across SW3PO, the wonderful costume of C3po, worn by Simon. I also met up with the guys and girls from the 99th Garrison and got a few autographs too.

Fame at last!

Just received this month's copy of Star Wars Insider magazine and in their Bantha Tracks section (page 76 or there abouts :-)) there's a photo of me from Celebration Europe 2!
Enjoy! :-)
