This part of droid building is becoming a broken record (if you don't know what a record is, ask your parents or grandparents).
Today I started the 2nd coat of paint for the feet. For the detail parts, I lightly sanded them with 400 grit sandpaper to prep them for their final coat of paint (their 4th). The sanding tip I got form my father. The sanding only took a few minutes and then I painted them.
For the skin parts, I gave them their 2nd coat of primer. Next time will be their 1st coat of paint.
Since last Thursday, I started J-B Welding the skin panels together that need it. Once completed, I will have to sand down the splotches of J-B Weld. I used those fancy office paper clips to hold the pieces together and used a Q-Tip to wipe away any excess J-B Weld that was oozing out of the seems.
Once I'm done with the smaller pieces and the feet, I'll start priming and painting the outer skin layers.
