R3 Is Alive

Here is a Video of my R-3 SHE'S ALIVE MAAHAHAHA. We are still working on mounting the motor, Calvin was holding the motor while I was filming, can't wait till she is moving.

PVC Battery Boxes

Calvin decided to try something new that one of the other builders are making, PVC Battery Boxes turned out pretty nice I am glazing putty right now, I think it is ready for Primer. It took all day to get all the cutting done, I didn't make these Calvin did. But I am doing all the finishing touches. LOL LOL

My Legs Are Done

Well, it's about time I posted some of my progress, Ive been pretty busy with the holidays and work and my dad was pretty sick and also redoing my kitchen, which is turning out very well. So anyways I was still working just not as fast. i finally finished my leg painting in December so we attached them to see what they looked like. They turned out pretty nice and I have 1 of my outer ankles done I just need to sand the primer and look for anymore BOO BOO'S and then paint.

My first attempt to make a R2 D2 Cake ;o (... Didn't turn out to well, The frosting was melting so I had to make the color and then put in fridge to get cold. And then do more and then back in the fridge. I have a lot of learning to do, but I will get it. It took me 3 1/2 hours to decorate it, but it looks like him, that's a start I will try again in 2 weeks and will post another picture.

My Wilton Cake Pan

Wow!!!! I have been trying to get one of these pans for a long time ;o ) And guess how I got it, My bother's mother in law was having a Garage sale, and he saw a lady looking at that and said No!!! that is my Sister's and picked it up and put in in his truck :o ) I was tickled Pink. So this weekend I will expirement making a R2 Cake. Also here is a Pic of Calvin's R2 with his skirt on. Looks great old man!!! LOL LOL.
