Darthmiller's C3PO build
Well...I finally decided to post my build
I am actually working on two 3POs
The first is a GA kit....let me tell you that this kit is really rough and has required a ton of work
The second kit is a TK409
Here is a pic of the GA kit and some progress pics from the last 6 months

Re: Darthmiller's C3PO build
I decided to add fiberglass to the pieces to give them some weight and make them stronger

Re: Darthmiller's C3PO build
Very nice!!! Beats shelling out a grand to the vac metal shop.
What gold did you decide on? Did you top it off with any clear coat?
