So here we go, not my first-ever sci-fi project but the last time I did one it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... see what I did there ??
Mentioned before my little buddy, is currently progressing from superheroes and Disney cars to Lego & Star Wars. With that in-mind, I was strolling through eBay a few weeks back and couldn't comprehend the prices folks were asking for old Airfix/MPC Snowspeeders and X-Wings. But, I did find the AMT STAP/Battle Droid for just £10.00 GBP.
Since it arrived, Ben has been very impatient to start, and so with the Skyhawk out of the way, we started yesterday morning...
...yep, we were at the bench (with Frau's blessing) at 0845 !!. Wasn't too easy and 'daddy' did get a little frustrated from time-to-time, but after a couple of hours, just before I had to go on-watch we'd arrived here:
Head & neck done, arms done but not attached, back-pack done and hips, upper & lower legs done. All just pushed or taped together for the (quick) photo. Today I'll finish the filling'n sanding whilst Ben is at school, and we'll hopefully finish the torso when he (runs) home.
Have to say, I had no idea just how big this 'Roger' is going to be when he's done. He's enormous !!
