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

 

Its just the little details like that, that once you fix, the model is no longer a model... it becomes a replica!   Its amazing how with just a little effort on these old kits (even though they were made for an 8 year old) can make them come alive.  This is what I LOVE doing... what amazes me even more is that no one else even considered it before.  Just by changing the hands a little, fixing that bump on his head and putting some gold foil on this one kit, truly makes 3PO come alive.  I just hope you all enjoy him when I'm finished with both of them and have them on a base together and lit up!  Should be quite a show... and I hope I'm doing justice to these kits.
