So, I can't be the only one loading up the thread and admiring all the photos over and over?
Originally I hadn't even seen Quint on the crow's nest in post #122. Kind of addictive looking at the pics and seeing new details every time. What a piece and what incredible dedication! What a labour of love 100%.

As I don’t know exactly what is under the green tarp. I’ve gone with my own version of square milk crates, I’ll paint the front one orange and the rear one gray to match reference but as most of it is cover up I’m done trying to work it out. Taps an dies have arrived so can finish the cage so it’s practical. And the Hod I’m most doubted by the top wrap work. I thought I’d have a go. I’ve collected a large selection of scale rope/strings and in the end I went with an off the shelf package string from my local hardware shop.
I'm not convinced that he couldn't have worked as the voice of C-3PO, but it is still pretty funny to think that we almost got that.
I frustratingly can't find the clip of Darrell Hammond's audition impression (probably because it included Kevin Spacey).

First what a masterpiece, this has been amazing to follow and beyond inspiring. So glad you are taking the time for something like this and sharing all of your work!!!
Second, from one who does a ton of 3d resin printing, look at something like this for functional parts.
Siraya Tech Blu-Tough Resin
Siraya Tech Blu Tough Resin is for the strength & durability of 3D printing. ISO 10993-10 certified & bio-compatible, it's ideal for durable and rigid functional parts. From Blu to Nylon Black Resin, rely on Siraya Tech for top-tier, tough resin solutions for 3d printing projects.

Some of the parts you are making are indeed small, but if you want functional parts Blu is tough to beat and can turn out parts that are crazy robust (depending on what the print is of course). The smell is not great and the prints take longer (about double the standard exposure time compared to something like FAST), but it's incredible stuff.
For other parts, I like mixing 85% FAST Navy Grey (this is my new go-to for anything I am printing related to modeling, the quality is top-notch) with 15% of Tenacious. This tends to make parts that have just enough give that it removes the brittleness from the prints. We print minis like this and you can throw them against the wall and they don't break.
