Dorgmal Snow, normal masking tape I used. Sorry for the late reply.

Thundergod, I love your battle droid.

I have a Stap & battle droid model kit that I am going to fix. Can you show me which parts you had done. I need to figure out where to start with & make more articulation. Thanks

I plan on doing a couple more Droids, ( I also have the STAP kit , if anything , this should be easier to work with than the Hasbro , as the injection plastic lends itself to the process better )
so I'll post some W.I.P shots when I do . In the meantime , these are the Lego parts I used for the shoulder and hip joints :

I placed the " ball" parts in the arm and hip using a straight forward pin arrangement . The " socket " part was the tricky bit as I had to remove the flat cylinder at the top of the leg ( where it joins the hip ) to accomadate the Lego part . The same with the shoulder . These bits were then re-built around the sockets with strip styrene and Milliput .

And Brinn , although the Stikfas joints are good for smaller joints , they might be too small to work with the hips and hold the weight of the Droid . I could well be wrong , as I don't have any Stikfas to hand at the moment ! As soon as I retreive mine , I'll definately use them for the ankle joints at least .

SWEET! LOVE the pics!

Hope the Stikfas joints work out for you!

Found this site last week...awesome stuff! I was doing astromechs a few yrs ago, and quit out of boredom. You guys have got me interested again. I will post a few I did, and yes, even a pink one! Please forgive some of the pics, you can see my photos got better, but some are really bad! I will post more soon...

Cool conpress for dorgs!

Seriously, awesome Droids chap some of the more simple changes ( like the orange r2) seem to look the most impressive- I suspect from the cleaness of ur painting

[the dude person]

Well rakkasan, looks as if you kinda like astro droids.

Nice work, and welcome to SSF!

 

[rakkasan7]

Thanks guys! I've done about 40 of them...and I only have a few left, but I am still buying them on EBAY so I can do more. I did about 15 for a certain person, and I sold the rest. As for the ones I got left, I use them for "practice" and to tinker. I need to post my favorite one. The clear domes were fun...wish I had taken more pics of them, but I like the "splinter camouflage" one a-lot.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Ahh magic stuff and I know how adictive these little chaps can be. The clear domed one is my fav and I gotta have a go at that either R3-T6 or R3-A2.... so cool ow and welcome aboard rakkasan
