My Life-Sized Kenner C-3PO Kenner Action Figure

[azheat]

Another life-sized 1978 Kenner action figure design is done, C-3PO! I have so many projects in the works right now it'll be some time before I can start work on him, but wanted to share a peek. Same adjustable arms and legs as with the other models, and the files include un-cut parts in the event you want to make him at a smaller scale.

Up next, our version of R2-D2.............

What is the plan for the gold finish? Paint, or something else?

What is the plan for the gold finish? Paint, or something else?

For this one I plan on using an automotive grade paint, rattle cans just aren't going to cut it I think. I've tried so many and they just don't look right. I wish I knew how to electroplate, I saw a video of a guy doing that on a printed piece and it looked incredible.

This is what I was thinking about.........
