T-Jay[TK] Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wow, looks like a very good job on chroming these parts. And the eyes in the last picture look so real . Fantastic! Will you add some weathering later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Holy movie perfect. However, you listed this thread in the other 501st costume section. 3PO clearly is not 501st thus a clear violation of forum rules. I will send you my address so you can relinquish the costume to me as punishment. You did spectacular work! I will thoroughly enjoy the costume!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone! Sorry I have been so absent. School has been doing it's best to kill me for the last year. That looks FANTASTIC! Can you give me any detail on the chromed paint? I had the whole suit sanded by an automotive shop ( I could have done it myself but it would have taken many more hours than what it took them) and then shipped it off to Canada (http://www.vacuummetallizing.ca/index.html) Without further ado, some updated pics for you all: Hands Sizing the belly mat Decorating the belly mat Dead body in my living room Trying some things on And some Abrams effect: The plan is for a more complete suit up this weekend. During this session of trying things on I figured out the belly mat was too small so I have remade it. You'll also note that I'm missing 2 finger tips...no idea where they went to so I am working on getting those replaced. The helmet was finished off today so it actually stays closed now. I will try to remember to upload the finished pictures or whatever shots we take this weekend.

HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Almost completely finished, here are some more pics from today. My buddy's R2 isn't completely finished yet either. Also made a facebook page for the droid! https://www.facebook.com/pages/KC-3PO/917322388313043?ref=aymt_homepage_panel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyChaos Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's real impressive. Came out ace. Wouldn't think it was plastic. Is that R2 a kit as well? I'd love one for my games room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 What did you use for the neck! Is it one or two pieces? Can you show a pic of the neck piece by itself?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thank you all for the high regards! Gazmosis, PM replied to! JohnnyChaos, astromech.net is the R2 builders group. I don't know much about them but from what I have heard they aren't sold as kits. Instead there are patterns and parts available for purchase or use to assemble and cut pieces from wood or styrene, or for those going for a heavy duty build using aluminum parts from runs that occur periodically. As for mine, I've gotten enough comments on the belly that I will probably increase the amount of wiring before I submit photos and make my neck piece slightly larger. Also, gotta grab a nice pair of these to make up for the very slight gap in the sides of the shorts. You enjoyed clicking that link a little too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Unfortunately there isn't any video yet. The person who took video was using snapchat to send to her friends but forgot to download them to her phone. As I get more pictures at events and such I will post more! I'm still missing 2 finger tips preventing me from doing submission photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
