Middle Earth Map, R2 Feet progress, Fett Chest lights,,,,and Maul saber

Wow...busy sounding blog entry!

I finished the Middle Earth Map Frame and hung it. Next to it is a cool Ikea kid's lamp that flickers like a real torch. Totally adds to the area!!
















I have been SLOWLY working on R2's feet. They SHOULD fit the drive assemblies fromt he scooters. I plan to have the battery packs (oval things beside the feet) attach with velcro. That way I can pull them off to access the bolt that will fasten the leg to the feet. I won't need it to pivot since my R2 is fixed in the 3 legged position. They are just bring glued together now. They will need bondo, sanding, and all the detail pieces added.

















This last pic shows my Boba Fett (95% done) with his chest lights in place. Also the Darth Maul lightsaber is hanging above. That was a Christmas present. :)

Middle Earth Maps

My maps FINALLY came in. A couple days of spraying with tea, then coffee have aged them. A couple tears and burn...and Booyah..a genuine old Middle Earth map!
