Bandai R2-D2


Excellent work, looks really good. Forgot to mention that you did a great job filling the seam on R2's dome. I picked up some Tamiya putty (gray) to do the same on mine. Had never used any type of putty, but I've practiced on a couple of projects and really like the stuff.

If you don't mind one more question, I got to looking and ,unless I'm mistaken, it's not possible to putty up the dome and then insert the blue parts (I planned on applying putty to dome, spray painting, then inserting the blue parts). Did you cut out parts of the dome, or mask off for painting?

Thanks
 
I put most of the dome together then aid the putty then a light coat primer then silver and hand panted the blue the top bits panted after and no masking was needed

thank you

Leyrich. :D
 
Where did you get / what brand of Jawa figures are those? I've been thinking of a Sandcrawler Droid Sale Dio.

What type of putty did you use? I know Bandai plastic can be finicky when it comes to oil washes, and I'd hate to use a putty that has the same impact.
