3P0 Home
After slicing the arms I placed them in a jig to hold the wrist firmly in place while I fiberglassed the arm.
Some comparison pics showing the difference between the modified and original arms.
This is what I used for the repair. You have to mix small amounts and work quickly, this stuff sets up real fast!
Next was the torso. I made four cuts on the front, pulled it apart, and taped it in place.
I fiberglassed the inside, let it dry, then removed the tape from the torso. Next I sanded and filled in the gaps. I also started to re-align the details on the front., as they no longer line up.
Nearly finished after a full day of work. I still need to file, sand and rework the details, but it should be ready for primer on Monday.
