R2D2 Fett's Blog

This is just to post updates on my various projects, like my full sized R2D2, my Han Solo in carbonite, my Boba Fett, Yoda, C3PO......AND the finishing of our basement (and home theater)or anything else that I might think is interesting enough to post.

Popcorn Cart and Threepio progress

I have about 4 ppl that would check my blog...and 2 of those (a good freind and my mom) passed away unexpectedly in the past couple of months so I'm a little saddened posting again..but here goes..

Anyways...here is pic of my pocorn cart. It has an 8oz kettle...makes a nice sized batch every time...tastes great.




Here is a bit of progress on my Threepio. The torso isn't finished..I just sprayed it a long time ago to test the gold. The head is mostly done..I will repaint with a better gold paint when I get it.

Threepio Head....and a Challenger!

Did some more work to Threepio's head...have the eys left to do. Will be getting a better gold paint soon, but this works for now. I also have some lights for his eyes on order...



I also assembled a cardboard kit for a Battle Droid. Went together very well..great design!!!!!!!

C3PO Head progress, Pics Framed

I managed to get a bit done on my 3po head this week. Glue, bondo, glue, bondo, sanding, bondo, sanding.

Man metallic paint sure shows ALL the flaws. I SHOUDL have used a finer grit sandpaper so smooth it off....but hopefully after a few coats of paint it will look ok. I plan to weather the droid anyways...so all flaws are acceptable. Man I love that about the Star Wars universe.





I got my newest signed pics framed.!! :) I may not have room to hang them until my theater room is done tho. :(
