Was looking at some pics of the finished 3PO & the statue does not look like it was electro-plated. Does anyone know what process Sideshow used?

Looked SPRAY PAINTED at COMIC CON...

Overglorified MPC Model.

The R2 Looked like crap also.

Production pieces are vacuum metalized.

Funny though, they assemble him VERY similar to what I did with my DP C3PO 4 years ago? :eek

Take a look at the assembly video link in the left bar of this page -

I even assembled my torso that way - with the back panel access and all. I wonder if the guy I sold it to was from Sideshow :lol

All I thought about after reading that post was that I wish you sold it to me!
