Hi guys.
Red C-3PO is called R-3PO and is in Empire Strikes back (Hoth)
Here is a picture of it
You see the Droid for less than 2 seconds in the film
his head was not coloured it's a recast.
Han in Carbonate was (I thought) going to be really easy (It wasn't)
1. Take a door frame an lay it down on a flat surface
2. using a quick drying plastic solution and fill it half way
3. When dry pour more solution into the frame
4. place a full black minifig into the solution
5. wait for the solution to dry and varnish
All sound really easy? This was the 3rd attempt (I now have it licked)
White Vader was my 1st experiment (Recast vader helmet in white)
Thanks for the comments.
A WARNING FOR RECASTING
There is a product called "Remeltable Rubber" - This is a really cheap and easy method for making casts
Whatever you do do not use painted parts in your cast
I lost a Jango Fett helmet (All the paint is gone!)
It also strips some colour out of the bricks.
Lessons learnt the hard way
