A while back i got a starbuckcylon C3PO head, and only recently got round to building him up.
Here are a few final shots and WIP.
First mock fit with all parts rough trimmed to fit.
After filling and sanding and painting and repeating a few times.
I didn't need the finish to be perfect as i am making a battered C3PO not a perfect factory finish one.
I also heated a section on his forehead and pressed it in to try and match his head dent.
I painted the helmet in stages (i didnt take photos until this stage.)
I primed it. then painted it black, Then a silver, after the silver i went in with some latex on some high points and parts where i thought would be damaged or peeling etc. Then i gave the whole lot a coat of gold.
once the gold had dried i rubbed off the latex to reveal the silver underneath.
i then wired up the eyes and glued it all in place.
(he looks quite shocked about being in to halves.)
I added a sound chip that is meant to be in a gift card or something of the like (cheap and cheerful.)
It has five buttons with a sound on each.
This video is before i did the final weathering of the head.
To weather it down to the final look i wanted i went over one layer of light sanding with a medium grit sandpaper to scratch and scuff it. Then i used some plain printer paper to rub and dull down the gold without scratching it.
Then i gave it a few hits of two or three different browns and yellows of dry brush and washes to get a dusty dirty look.
Then i added some black washes to make him really oily. I added a black oil streak down the back of his head coming out of the rear detail because i thought it looked good.
Final head weathered and all lit up.
Hope you like it.
if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them and i will try and answer etc
