Parts. Parts. Parts.

I've been collecting a number of resin parts and I took the plunge and painted them using Plasti-kote brilliant metallic.  I have to say that the results were impressive.  Not due to my painting skills, far from it, but due to the finish of the paint.  The next picture is one of the leg struts and a shoulder button next to their respective aluminium counterparts.

This is one of the holoprojectors I bought from Don Jarr on ebay...

I've also been working on the frame with Fred.  The universal arm carrier (UAC) has been fitted along with the speaker rails.

On the top of the frame sits the Rockler bearing which is what will connect the dome to the frame and allow it to spin.  On top of the Rockler bearing is a dome base plate by Jerry Green aka JAG.  Jerry is a droid building genius.  He designed the frame I built and supplies aluminium parts through the builders club.  Here's a picture of the aluminium skirt...

Next duty is to countersink all of the UAC fixings, tap the spindles which will attach the skirt to the frame and mount the Rockler bearing to the frame.
