I STILL haven't got all the red off :(, but have got more than half off, so I thought bugger it, I'll just start hacking and painting, just to see what it looks like...
And ta da, after a busy weekend with my trusty dremel, here's a few piccies of my progress.
Hopefully I'll not leave it too long before doing more, and maybe finally getting rid of that dam red paint.
I know all the hardcore R2D2 builders that see this, may have a few things to say, about not being the right colour blue, the radar eye is not right, the spraying is crap, and the circle I cut out isn't round :(, but I'm happy enough. I don't pretend to be any good at doing anything where tools are concerned, so I expect it to be a little rough, but as long as it looks ok, I'm happy :)
