Speaking of legs... I still have trouble with the layers of the legs. I tried skinning them first (with the parts from A&A) but the pieces of styrene pealed right off when I tried to sand them a bit.
I then tried Bondo Glazing Putty. It worked on the feet, but it just kept flaking off of the legs, leaving holes and gaps.
Then I hit it with some CA glue. I thought this was going to be the magic stuff. Again, no luck... The glue seeped down into the holes leaving, guess what? HOLES!!!
Now I'm back to skinning them. I did it last night and it looked pretty good when I hung the legs up.
I went out after work today and cleaned them up so I could spray them with the white primer. Overall I'd say "Not Bad". Not 100% perfect... I'd say maybe 87%... Hey, that's a high "B." I'm telling myself that it's good enough.
Looks like now I'm gonna be doing a nice and WEATHERED droid...
If I ever want the end of ANH in the Massassi Temple look I'll go aluminum!
