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.

Vader Helmet Done!

Well now he has the ESB paint scheme...and doesnt look like black plastic any more.

The dome has some scuff marks from sanding it (guide I followed said to sand it with 800 or 1200 grit paper after clearcoat is one...I did..then polished polished polished with Novues 2 scartch remover and turtle wax.

I'm pretty happy with the results..

Now to rebuild his legs. His stepping forward stance never worked forme so I will try a straight leg stance with the left arm still outstretched (to Luke).

I will be getting new boots and a new cod piece and new gloves from a friend, and I just got a new cape and robe (rubies..which is a HUGE step up from my home made one!!).
