I'm cutting my outer Feet boy the curves are a challenge, can't wait to see the finished product since I am cutting them and putting them together not Calvin. Hopefully I won't make too many BOO BOO'S. Also Calvin made my half Moon for my center Foot, looks pretty good just some finish up work on it. :o )

Coming along nicely!!! This inspires me to build a budget droid when I'm finished R2. I'm sure if you take your time, there wont be any boo-boo's, unless youre using JBWeld and sit in a plate of it!!! HAHAHA. What ever you do, WATCH WHERE YOU SIT!!!!!!
By the way, do those foot shells have to be reinforced with wood or something behind them?
John
HAHAHAHA, I heard about that now I WISH I had seen that lol.Yes mine needs to reinforced, but only in the Ankle area. Calvin said his next one will be styrene, a lot quicker and cheaper and looks just as good. Hey!!!! LOOK BEHIND YOU THERE IS A PLATE OF JB WELD!!! HAHAHA HEHEHE :O )

Yeah I still laugh my butt off everytime I think of it!!! I really didnt like working with it either. Too stiff...I couldnt spread it around quick enough. I'm definitely using silicone next time I have to bond anything. Removing the excess looks like it will be a hassle too.
Hey John get you a dental pick from the Hobby Shop that helps a lot with geting the JB Weld out of the cracks. And you won't live down the sitting in the JB Weld LOL LOL. :- )
Brenda
