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

Alright... I'm slowly getting the body together.  I finally got the grabber arm to fit into the compartment with the door shut.  What I ended up doing was moving the notch where the support bar goes above the original hole.  Basically where the little greeble goes on the inside that looks like two little blaster nozzles.

I placed the holding cap at the bottom of this notch.  On the back of the holding bar is a flat piece that fits behind the holding cap to hold it upright.  When you extend the arm out, you lift up the back and slide the flat part under the holding cap and it will remain extended until you fold it back into it's place.  Simple little design.  Worked pretty well. 

I had to cut the original piston part in half almost but with the arm extended, it looks pretty good and everything will close up properly (I couldn't put the little greeble of the tank in there because the room was extremely limited, and it wouldn't shut with it in).

The next thing I noticed when going over my reference pics was that the builders put a headphone jack and a switch on the bottom of the body cowling. 

I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with being able to charge or program the droid while in production. 

It also looks like they moved the jack from the front to the side because the front has a big empty hole there.  So in order to make this baby look as accurate as possible... I placed both of these little details on the cowling. 

Came out looking pretty good althou I think my switch looks a little larger, but it don't look too bad.  That's all for now.  Still waiting on those chips to come in.  Lemme know what you all think!
