Norbert SteffensFantastic model, not only because I'm a Stars Wars fan, the metal finish is marvellous

Graham NicholsonThanks Norbert. The kit finish was just a little too bright for my liking but it weathered down nicely. It now almost looks like polished brass!

gorbyAs Norbert said - nice metal finish. I haven't noticed before how 'Art Deco' C-3PO is.

Spanjaardyou also did something with the cables in the belly, right? it really looks fantastic, really well done.

Graham NicholsonWell gorbygould, the design for C-3PO was heavily influenced by the Maschinenmensch robot from the Fritz Lang film Metropolis, the style of which was indeed very much Art Deco.

Graham NicholsonThe cables in the belly are straight from the kit, Spanjaard. Most of the grey and white cabling is a pair of decals carefully wrapped around with lots of decal set and softener to make them settle down into the moulded detail. The red cables and grey tubes with gold connectors are kit parts that have been painted and weathered.

SpanjaardI have seen other C3-PO before, and in none the cables looked that good. but also in none of them the gold finish did look as good as in yours😉 very well done

gorbyOf course! I have see Metropolis, but it was over thirty years ago - and I have problems remembering what I have for breakfast sometimes. Now I've Googled to remind me, the connection is obvious.

Luis SotoGraham, just a question... did you paint C-3PO or just weathered the unpainted finish?
Thanks

Bernhard SchrockWow! Excellent job, looks like the original C3PO and not like a 15 cm model! (Just yesterday I watched part VI...)
