After a long thought process, I've decided to make my models available via my Etsy  page. I don't know how many of the Thingiverse downloads are actual ones or just the bots, sharing the links?? So it's now over on my page.

R5-D4 Carbon Frozen progress

November:

I had seen someone add paint to a mixture of PVA glue, this worked great!!

Perhaps it was the paint I used, but it made the glue lumpy, which added to the textured effect. I mixed up a few batches to not waste, but also to see if it would actually dry 😄.

…..which it eventually did, took a bit longer though.

Project paused till December:

I dug out this project and checked that the glue had now fully dried, before I applied the same paint over the exposed areas.

It just needs a few more coats.

Funko pop astromech on ice.......Carbonite!

 For those who can't paint or choose not to lol :D I thought I'd create these POP's as frozen in carbonite blocks. As I had just finished drawing up the R4 domed version, he was first into the carbon freezing chamber!

I found images of the Han Solo POP version and recreated as best as I could the side control panels.

I also made the bottom (when in vertical) flat and added location holes so it can be mounted on a stand.

I have now also add some screen accurate rollers for the bottom of the feet/foot shells. These can be seen in the last picture.

As the POP is hollow, I recessed the block, I may design up a back panel (if required).

And to add to this collection, I created R5 in carbonite as well.

And here you can see his feet rollers.
