    Very cool! Took my suggestion & did him huh? I'm honored & what you did was really cool! He came out very nice! Did you have problems with loose limbs before you repainted him? I ask because in general that's an issue with the ESB release of C3PO because of the toy. It's very common to find loose legs especially on these guys. And I don't know if you would be interested but Trash Compactor has several repainting videos on vintage collection droids & has custom belly stickers on his Esty store to make them look like they've got wiring. Not true vintage stuff, neat looking regardless! Again, cool video man!

    Thanks, glad you liked it! My figure didn't have any limb joint issues, but his chrome was all beat up. Those custom "belly stickers" sound really cool though. It might be neat to try one of those on this figure to see how it would look. Thanks again for the watch, comment, and support... much appreciated! :)
