Skins and bits and pieces

I have started work on the skins
They are 2 piece aluminium skins from John Sherrell.

Front skins (outer on left )...


I had these on my old droid but in my eagerness last time I glued them together and then had to glue the parts on like oct ports, power couplers etc on after using liquid metal. This time I've screwed them on through the inner skin and the outer skin will hide the countersunk screws - much better solution.

Here is the octagon port screwed into place....





and the coin slots....


coin slots, octagon port and power coupler screwed onto skins and outer skin attached temporarily....


and just a quick shot showing R2 coming together nicely...

Painting

I have been busy paniting various parts white over the past couple of weeks and have found some handy props from Bunnings



Here is one of the painted JAG legs including the horeshoe....



The big rectangular hole in the centre is the new design for the boosters that JAG will be making later in the year :-)

and the completed TWD skirt.....
