R2D2 Styrene build

Weldon 3 works very good, put it on, hold for about 15 sec and it's in place, sets in approx 5 mins good

Thank you, next I'm going to build shoulder hubs and then do the legs while I'm waiting one the dome and skins

I don't think you ever said what type of adhesive you are using. Thanks!

Oh I'm sorry, I use Weldon #3. Put it on, hold about 15 secs and it's in place, after about 5mins it seems to be set good

Oh duh, I thought someone else was telling YOU what they did! That's what I get for posting as I'm leaving work!

Haha! And yes, I used Weldon 3 too for my R6 droid and Mouse droid. Works a treat. Just make sure you read the fine print on the label, cause it WILL kill you!

Ok on to next part, working on shoulder hubs
cutting

Glueing parts

THen after glue sets overnight I'll drill holes and put in hardware

 

[Sith Lord]

I assume you got your measurements sorted?

 

[shsims]

I'm hoping I did, there's like a 3/8 difference between my two sets of plans, one printed on computer and ones printed at Staples, being there no inch scale to double check I went with smaller, and will match holes with shoulder brace on frame
