Ok it has officially started,

my Zeta board arrived a last week but was not able to put it together until yesterday (minus mount!).
Also I just found imovie on the laptop so enjoy!

LOVE IT! The video is so cool.

And for REAL the "(ISH)" at the end did make me LOL.

Nice vid and good luck with the build!

ISH me up man. The new code word of the day.

Today I had a big parcel arrive from Brian.

The lid.. I am so chuffed!!

This is pretty much ready to get chromed (I have the company that did the original C-3PO ready).

Armour has also arrived i judt need to assemble it all.
I had Brian do a lot of the work as in trimming etc.. I would do it myself however I live in a very small apartment and I have a few projects on the go!

So the build really starts from now!

Good luck with the build.

The Imperious Leader is counting on you.

VERY COOL!
Can't wait to see more.

I thought the tag on the pocket said "Gary" (Gary the Cylon) heehee
...no it says Grey... SO CLOSE!

Ha - I saw "Gary" too. Glad it got to you in a timely manner. You never know with International post. I'm looking forward to seeing that chromed up. A little tape on the seems and that guy will rock! Good luck with the rest of the build - keep us updated

Couldn't resist.

At the moment I don't have a mount for the LED's however they do fit perfectly into the eye slot so I was thinking of adding the diffuser straight into the slot? creating no need for a mount and making more room in the lid for my nose!

I don't have any spare time to work on this for a couple of weeks. but will sure to keep you all updated.

Brian (Hand-Schaub) has done a great job on the lid. I am two minds to fill the seam in and make it flawless or to go screen accurate and use chrome tape once its chromed?

Thats buddy!

I got off lightly with custom charges as well so all good! I have taken a week off work in a couple of weeks so I can catch up with all my projects. (I'm also 85% through an Mk3 Ironman).

I need a bigger place!!

cool! Yeah, the lid is meant to be screen accurate but a little work and it can be seamless.

Through much rubber to mold, I made a new sculpt on the back of the scanner holder so you shouldn't need any other mount. I intend to just insert the diffuser and hot glue to lights in the holder.

What's the helmet made from? Vacuform?

vacu-form with resin "horseshoe" and resin scanner/light holder. Grill is vacu-form off of metal original.
