1-6th C3PO Hasbro Custom

[Dorgmal Snow]

well I am having a break from building due to lack of sleep! Managed to get a 3PO for my speeder, but wwwooo its so shinny! Which is no good for the Tatooine feel I am after so I thought I would have a go at painting!
When mrhatz Old Ben arrives from the US I will have a bash at a little diorama I think.

Till then I hope you like the pics.

Looking good mate,
When are you gonna take him apart and put LEDs in his eyes?

Cheers,
Doug

 

[Darth Waller]

Ooooo, good idea.

That Hasbro head just looks wrong but I've never been able to put my finger on it.

 

[HugeBadWolf]

Looks a bit too tall and narrow to me,
Perhaps Ki Adi Mundi's hiding under the suit...

Cheers,
Doug

I can tell you exactly whats wrong with it. The neck slightly too thick and the chin is not narrow enough, the eyes are too big and the nose is fractionally too high.
But it's ok for me. Maybe I should re-sulpt it! One day....=

And Dougs right he is too tall.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I have repainted the leg, but you can not really tell in this shot

 

[HugeBadWolf]

You can see the silver leg, it's one of the first things I looked for after Irish Jedi's thread

Cheers,
Doug

Great job Dorgmal.

 

[mrhatrulez]

Man, that's spot on! No oil baths for him!

 

[Mooncat]

[LOPIE]

Hahaha, this looks like one of those classic cinema shots where the background was a projection! Nice work on the repaints and the landspeeder!

LOL Cheers VOTR, thats the sort of thing I like, I am a polaroid photography fan I don't like the slick finish my digital camera gives me so I have to make them look a bit retro some how. Maybe I should do a short film, with the desert whizzing by in the background and the speeder bumping up and down..... oww some many cool things to do and only 24 hours in a day, why do I have to sleep

DUDE! I mean I hear that, mate! One of my greated downfalls is my need for sleep. SO many projects... Yeah, even if it's just a minute, that would be cool to see. MAybe with the "hit the accelerator" dialogue... Good luck!
