Project updates 8 April - C3P0, electrobinoculars, Fett jetpack and IG88 blaster.
Completed C3P0 hand. The wearable parts look so much better than the solid display hands. I trimmed the bits sticking out from the palm to better match the ANH look.
Before modification:
I installed new smaller hinges (from doll house furniture).
Shins and calves were recoated after the hinges were installed and some damage repaired.
Real cone knob also gold metalized.
Completed belly wires based on ANH Tunisia publicity photo.
Odiwan72's excellent electrobinoculars kit is now ready for paint. Big thank you to Markus and Lichtbringer for their help.
I etched the grid into the transparent piece.
Replaced the old thrusters on my Boba Fett ESB jetpack with a more accurate pair from RS Propmasters (thanks Rob!).
Also repaired and repainted the rocket.
And painted the tops of the jetpack yellow and the top of the beacon black.
Finally happy with the IG88 blaster underside details.
