Began the process by taking the figure apart and taping the parts that would not be painted gold.
Also began by prime nag the entire body and head.
I then proceeded to cut out the eyes. Once this was accomplished, I used a miniature village fence section for the vertical lines in the eyes. Attached to the fence was a piece of netting fabric. This was painted with gold paint and LEDs were installed behind the eyes with a battery pack (three AA batteries).
Next a notebook divider was cut for the eyepieces (orange in color). Then a round piece of black maskin tape was added to each eye. The entire body was painted gold and the black section was painted with Model Masters flat black.
The arm was originally red but I wanted to make him into “A New Hope” 3P0 so I painted the arm gold and his leg silver metallic.
Here he stands next to R2.
