R2D2 Encounter

Although there hasn't been much progress as of late, I thought it was about time for another R2 Photo Opportunity. This time I had my daughter pose with the droid. Still a lot of work ahead but I have already accomplished much more than I ever imagined I would be able to.

More Dome Painting

Once again I am taking a giant leap of faith as I go about painting the $100 dome. In my world this is a big investment and with my attention to detail, it all may go down the tubes quite quickly. However after saying this for a first stab at painting the dome, it doesn't look too terribly bad. I say this knowing I have a great deal of clean up work and multiple coats to come.

I have to say by my standards, this thing is finally starting to look like a droid.

Progress Continues

After a much needed break from this project, I have begun to see some real progress for the first time. The body itself is now in place but of course still needes quite a bit of touch up. The dome painting is making good progress as well. Now comes the tedious portion of this process. The next couple of stages will be a lot of work showing little progress.

The rest of the work will require quite a bit of detail and percision, most of which I do not have. Then comes the dilema of what to do for the legs.
