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

Today I did alot of cutting.  I got the front arm sections cut out and as I was getting ready to do the marking for the side panels, I discovered that the body is warped.  I'll probably end up having to soak the part in boiling water for a little while and in order to keep its shape I'll make sure it's formed properly and then dunk it in cold water to set it.  Will do a test on this with the spare body tomorrow.

Anyway, I decided to go ahead and begin work on the arms.  I cut two pieces of thick styrene and marked them for cutting. 

After doing so I realized I couldn't quite get the depth I was looking for so I cut another piece of styrene and glued two pieces of the arm to it, and viola... a perfect arm.

Ok... so it's not totally perfect yet, but it will be after a little tooling.  Didn't turn out too bad... more tomorrow.
