C3PO arms

I really enjoyed making the pistons for the arms. I started turning brass rods but it's hard on a drill, then I found some brass tube and rod to fit, way easier and faster to build. ON the arms themselves I fitted small pieces of styrene with a hole drilled. And the best thing, it moves, so I can decide about the position of the arms when I decide what the pose will be. Despite the lack of detail compared to the original droid came out really good I think.

Question about painting, when you get the orange peel effect, does that mean I used too much paint?
