JaseGill Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hello All, Well I have completed another one of the Bandai Star Wars kits. This time its the R2-D2 kit that comes in a 2 droid set of R2-D2 and R5-D4. He builds in no time and shouldnt need paint. That said for the Chrome parts I used Alclad Chrome (sprayed over the coloured plastic) and for the dome of the head I used Alclad Duralumin as the silver plastci in both cases looks a bot toy like. He comes our really well and I can really recommend these kits, theyre a change, really easy, very accurate it seems and come with all sorts of extra's. He has arms and actuators as seen in the various films but I chose to leave him in his standard state. Eventually I intend to weather him and C3-PO up and place them on a sand base doing them as if they have just climbed out the Escape Capsule at the start of Star Wars A New Hope. Enough words, time for pictures. And here he is with his companion And finally with the other figures built so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted August 5, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2015 Such a great little kit, and you did a great job of it. With some Tatooine snd and shit, it will look amazing. I noticed you crapped out on that decal that sits around the inner hexagonal fan recess It was actually dead easy to fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
