Foot Shell On Leg

R3 Finally has her Shell on the Body!!! and the picture does not do it Justice!!! It really looks better in person than the picture. she's kinda sideways right now because I have her proped up while I am working on the other leg. Well after Ancient City Con I will pull her center foot out and start on the beefy ankle part and also try to finish my Skirt up,more to com almost complete except for some small stuff.

Foot Shell Almost Complete

Finally one complete!!! I just need to glue the pieces in the Battery Boxes. I just have them stuck in there,I got the other foot painted white today, They are not perfect but it's good enough for me. I am very Happy the way they turned out, I let my hoses set outside in the sun and rain for about 2 1/2 months and they look pretty weathered now.R3 will have Shells for Ancient City Con in 2 weeks!!!!! SWEET!!!!

Foot Shell Primed

Well finally got 1 foot shell finished and and Primed, did pretty good with the Glazing Putty so tonight I will wet sand and tomorrow Paint. This has been a long time coming WHOO HOO!!!!

Preping For Painting

Well I have been Glazing putty all the pits in my Resin Parts that I've had for a couple of years LOL, and now it is Paint time!!!! My Cylinders are all almost done, I have to let the green paint that I did today dry till next weekend and the I can tape up the Green like I did on the 1st 2 and paint the silver. Next I will start on my Battery Boxes and Feet.

R-3's Feet

WOW!!! SORRY FOR THE COBWEBS ON MY BLOG LOL !!!!!! Finally got a foot done now it's time for the Pretty work!!! My job. Calvin has been working on my feet for a while now we have 1 fully complete and the other one needs the trim pieces at the bottom. then it will be finished, They turned out pretty nice for the first set. But I have been busy trying to get my girl finished for CV!!!! Can't wait to meet everybody there....

Ankle Cylinders

I started working on my Detail Pieces did my glazing Putty to get rid of all the Pits, I also Painted my Ankle Cylinders this weekend after a week has passed I will tape up the green and do the silver, and then I can put them on. Also Crissy and I goofing around with our Droids.

Outer Feet Shells

Finally Working on R3 again, We ordered some A&A Outer shells but there are some pieces that are too short ;o(... And I want them done before Ancient City Con so Calvin decided to make me some while Andy is going to find out what's wrong... He actually built the shells to the motor Holder LOL!!! This is only rough cut and I still need to make the other side where the Battery boxes go and then the glazing putty and final sanding, Speaking of which I am doing the final glazing Putty on them then I am going to Paint them, hopefully this weekend.

More Mega 2010 Pics

Here is Todd and Jessica, Steampunk Star Wars, Doug's K9 it was awesome!!!! and my Dear friend Carolyn This was her R2's first Con moving WHOO HOO!!!

Mega Con 2010

I got to meet James Hong, He came over to our booth and asked me to bring R3 to his Booth.

He was a great person to meet, we went over there several times for him to take pictures.

He had me take R3 to his table so he could get his Autograph, and then he put it in her Dome LOL. More Pics to come.

New Tires For R3

Well, Had to buy R3 some new tires one of her other tires the Valve stem broke, so I decided to use some solid Tires Calvin found on the interne. They work awesome and was easier to take apart and put back on than I thought these tires roll smoother and more solid than the tube tires.
