U9-C4
First step is to shorten the neck - starting with separating the conical bottom section from the centre framework
The very bottom section also needed to be modified to allow the cut centre framework to drop in lower
The grey backing parts for the centre framework were also cut down
The hollow bottom of the grey backing part (which would have been covered by the conical bottom part) has been filled with Apoxie Sculpt and sanded flat
Modified neck parts all glued together
Head put together with new neck - the very bottom disc is still a bit tall and will need to be sanded down
Sanding process for the bottom discis underway - some 0.75mm masking tape is being used as a guide to keep everything straight
U9-C4 also has an extra projector on the top of his dome - made by drilling a hole and inserting a section of brass tubing, with another piece of styrene rod inserted into the tube
New aerial built by modifying the original R%-D$ aerial and adding a top section from brass tube

Body and legs clipped together
Painting complete on head
All main sections complete and painted

U9-C4 is an R5 series droid but with differences to the head shape compared to R5-D4 seen in the original movie and The Mandalorian.
