Custom 1:6 R2-D2 suggestions?

[Creighton]

I wanted to share my before and after pictures of my custom Hasbro R2-D2 repaint. Im pretty happy with how he came out. He was hella bright white and cheap looking before. Now he blends in well with my SS figures and is a lot better scale then the Medicom in my opinion.

I need some suggestions on how to create the "wiring that is on his feet?...any suggestions?

i would use wires.

That's awesome. Hasbro made a few diamonds in the rough. You just can't notice them because they need the love and attention you gave this guy.

And yeah, finding wires wouldn't seem to be too hard of a thing to do. That'll add even more life to this already delightful custom!

If you go to the star wars custom section, they have tips on these droids.
