For my second attempt at showing work in progress on SMA Id like to do something bigger than my 1:1200 Titanic http://www.scalemodeladdict.com/SMF/index.php/topic,9204.0.html and I need to learn how to paint with an airbrush AND some LED's in there would be nice AND maybe some diorama of some sort. So I got this cheap recast (1/6 scale I guess, not sure) of a kit from Thailand (you guys probably gonna be like: oh no! he got what?) which is crappy to moderately ok at best, to get me started on the famous pair of comedy droids from you know what films. There's a lot of bending, sanding and filling involved but I won't go overboard with adding details.
Now, I have seen an image somewhere sometime where c3po is sitting down with his leg all busted and r2 is holding c3po's separated foot in his claw (anyone know which film?), in the background I think is either the Millennium Falcon interior or that Lars place on Tattooine. This image is in my head, I have to find the reference, but maybe I won't cause it sounds like a hell of a lot of work. The background that is. Still, I'm thinking of how I can do the pair of these droids in a scene or position we haven't seen so often in scale. I mean, not just the pair of them standing, all intact, you know. Somewhere there has to be some drama, a story
In the meantime I'll keep myself busy preparing and trying out painting (I expect the golden c3po can't be easy to achieve). I did create some eyes already for c3po, looks allright I think, eventhough the eyes need to have 6 vertical bars instead of 3, in this scale 3 bars is probably my limit without getting very frustrated. Hope you enjoy. Barry
Some monster (that ratty one I bet) poked his eye out
Warm LED's in syrene tubes and brass wire, pupils too big though
Some sanding and a brass turned antenna thingy on the head
