       Ive had this C3PO kit in my closet for a year, trying to figure how i want to build it. This is my favorite Star Wars kit period. Just choosing which 3po to make is the hard part. I chose 3po from when he and r2 were wandering around  on Tatooine. That scene always interested me. Its like a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and hidden fortress. Anyway, ill get another R2D2/BB8 kit and make a little diorama display.

I really enjoy looking at your projects from the first page on!
The holographic tranciever is one of my favorites! I am working on some electronic parts right now as well and can't wait to share it (some Cantina stuff). Also your Comic projects are amazing!
All the references e.g. the moisture vaporator draft are great! 
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Your 3PO looks just like the original costume! Your excellent paint-job with the oil stains gives it a perfect likeness and make 3PO look alive!

   Thanks Tamer! I only buy vac-plated c3po figures. Hasbro stopped because of the inferior plastic they use. This is the only vac-plated 3po in 6" scale. Same goes for Captain Phasma.

     Many thanks legion! I like building one of a kind things, however ive been conservative lately. Ive been meticulously weathering my C-3po today, and took some full sun pics. I think it's  fairly screen accurate.

  Thanks bud! I  put a couple thin coats of matte on him, he was still too shiny, plus i needed to seal what work I've already done . I may have put too much on, but ill wet sand it tonight, that'll bring back a little shine, and give him a natural looking patina. In retrospect I should have started with the matte coats.   "He'll be quite alright. You'll see."

JD he looks awesome mate and I wouldn't worry about the matte it will dry and the amount you put on is great it really brought 3PO to life.

   Thanks Ron! Yeah the  matte finally  dried clear. I woke up this morning and it was still pretty milky, had me worried.  I still gave it a light wet sand though.

   Im calling the C-3PO part of the project finished. It looks better in person. It's difficult to photograph something like this. looks totally different in some lights than in others.  But I like it. I found out I won't have my R2-D2 kit until late next week. Bummo. But I have a few things to do in the meantime. I'm using r5 as a stand in for now.
