Re: Classic MPC C-3PO and R2-D2 uber detail build

Merry Christmas everyone... hope everyone got something good to build this year! Me, I did a little work on the grabber today. I created a 3D model and thought that maybe I might get the grabber printed at Shapeways. At least then I know I would be able to get the perfect look and feel of it. But, after completing the 3D model I looked at the two pistons I carved yesterday, and noticed they were just too big. So I carved a couple of smaller ones that even thou are still a bit too big, seem to look alot better. I got everything glued and painted today so now I can move onto the next fix. I might still get the grabber printed to see how it will come out. Here's a photo of the Grabber and the CPU Interface... I also thought about making the saw. That might look kind cool. But here's the pic... hope you all are enjoying this!
