With Celebration 5 nearly just a round the corner, we're gonna have to crunch big time this week!
Today we we're working on getting the legs attached to the body... well one leg, we're still working on finishing the other one.
We had to make the shoulders abit smaller than the regular droid's shoulder because if you look at a screenshot of Goldie from Clonewars, you'll notice his legs fit alot closer to the body than the legs of a classic droid.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:
You can see that the legs almost touch the body!
Now onto how we did the shoulder.
Here is what we used to make the shoulder:
We used 1 piece each of 2 different kinds of wood. We used 3/4 pressboard and 1/2 MDF.
And the measurements are 6 7/16 inches in diameter.
We used a router to cut the 2 circles out, used wood glue to attached the 2 pieces together and sanded down the edges to get it nice and smooth.
We will eventually, when we get to it, will skin the shoulder with polystyrene and paint it.
In this picture we have the leg and shoulder temporarily attached to the body.
Not only that, you can see we've been working on getting the dome and body ready for painting. ;)
And also the vent in this pic is screwed up. It turns out that the glue we used on the vents doesn't stick to resin very well. So that will be something else we'll be working on this week.
The parts on the dome are temporarily taped on for show.
That's all for now folks! ;)
