Hello,
This is my buildup of the Bandai C3P0. Pretty standard build. I ran fiber optics through the body to light the eyes up. I used a flicker LED candle as the illumination. It looks good in person, but I can not seem to get a decent shot of it. I had to repaint mine as there were horrible seams and some of the gold flaking was scuffed. I used Tamiya Gold leaf, then clear yellow, then a few gloss cotes. I was still unable to achieve the level of glossiness that the kit originally had. But I am satisfied with the results. I created a rebel blockade runner background for him to POP on.
Thanks for looking!
