Came out absolutely amazing!
OUR MAN IS BACK!!!!
Just in the process of this project now, thanks for the motivation and great video as usual.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this technique.
Amazing job well done
Awesome build looks really cool. I was thinking of making life size c3po to go with my R2D2.
Great video HT.
Very impressive work!
Thank you O exalted one! :)
MOST IMPRESSIVE
Great job DD! Another fantastic upload.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Matteo Omari instablaster =)
@Maximo Drake i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Maximo Drake it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Matteo Omari Happy to help xD
i totally enjoyed this very awesome explaining i have the g codes for 3p0 head rith now im working on darth vader head but after that ill get to this thank you
you deserve way more subscribers for how good your vids are
Pants thank you for the kind words :) I enjoy making these projects and videos, that’s good enough for me. MTFBWY
Love this channel bless up
Amazing!
very helpfull tutorial; printing as we speak
Yay! Long time no see!
W2g! That’s great.
Awesome Video! :)
Great tutorial. I would only add that gloss black makes a great base coat for metallic paints. I do think a weathered 3PO is easier to achieve unless you're willing to pay for vacuum metalizing.
Good video but just some things you should know. You should have used a flat black coat then build up some clear gloss then polish. Not gloss white. Metallics work much better on a black base. You also should have used a mini spray gun at least not an airbrush. Airbrushes are not intended for large surface areas and cause overspray; that's why you got a rough texture: you couldn't keep the area consistently wet with paint. Another thing is that it is possible to regain the mirror shine after the tint and clear, in fact you did it already in the video. You must simply spray on a few layers of a good clear from a spray can or gun (not an airbrush) and polish the clear. Hope this helps
Mad Cow Rebel i tried gloss black as an undercoat and it was too dark. Gloss white gave me the tone that I wanted after the chrome and tint was applied. I used what I had at my disposal. Thanks for the tips.
Oh ps. After using your Tamiya colour you should use a 2k clear coat.. It restores the optical clarity lost after the water based acrylics are applied. I learned that from Gordon Tarpley 😜
The color of the undercoat I think it is matter of preference.
You could well go with black, grey, or white. Black might read more as brass or bronze, than gold. White might be too bright for others.
Watch GordonTarpley’s channel for different methods of chrome finishing 3PO, he gets impressive results with all-clad silver and a little patience.
Love this. I'm definitely going to try this out with your method. Cheers. 😁
Funny thing I just found those remote control tea lights today on Amazon and thought I could use these for something.. I'm currently building a fully 3d printed R2. I'm ready for bondo and paint but the weather doesn't want to cooperate. Maybe I could build his best friend next..
New subscriber here!
Thanks for the great videos. I have learned a lot from you. I have a couple of questions please. I am 3D printing a complete C-3P0. I have watched all of your videos where you apply a gold finish to props in various ways. I do have an airbrush and have used Alclad Chrome before. Which method do you recommend I use for the finish on my 3P0? Once the prints are prepped should I go with a gloss black spray paint, covered in Alclad Chrome and then covered in your Tamiya yellow/red mixture (this would be quite expensive for a complete droid) or do you think I could get away with a Gloss white spray paint and then followed up with Rust oleum Gold and then a gloss clear coat?
Also, what video editing software do you use? I love your videos!
Awesome! great project- if we don't have a 3d printer... do you know if there's someone we can pay to 3d print them? I should probably check shapeways
If you are on Facebook, check out the C-3PO BUILDERS page. You will have to request to join the private group. The admin: Jason Street, is in the UK and he sells head kits. You could also reach out to CZcamsr: GordonTarpley he has a great channel on C-3PO costuming and may know where you can get a 3PO head. Good luck :)
Is there a reason why you started with a clear coat from a spray paint can after the white base coat but then later used your airbrush to put a final clear coat on? Couldn't you have used the spray paint? Can clear coat at the end as well?
Do you also have Jawa sounds? Thank uou
Can you add a screenshot for your cura profiles?
Do you have an active link to the sound bytes? The link that you have provided above does not work. Is there a better source that you would recommend? Thanks!
aw man, I goofed. I bought the 4 pack lights not realizing they would be way way WAY bigger than the 6 pack. Shoot!
Are you going to do The Mandalorian's gun? 😁
Good morning! What infill did you use on this? Thanks!
Hello, i used 20% infill on the print.
Great video! I'm printing it now look a touch small did you use the default size or did you scale it up alittle?
Apologies for the late response. I did not adjust the scale. I've heard other protocol droid builders going up to 106 or 107 percent. There is a facebook group: "C-3PO Builders" that has a great community of protocol droid builders. There is a lot of great info on there if you are looking to build a droid. Good luck! :)
@@HappyTrooperDotCom thanks, I just been printing a 100% almost have the head chest and shoulders it looks good all together. Head just looks undersized when it's by itself
Hi this tutorial is great. However, I'm horrible at the sanding process & no matter how hard a try, I always get print lines showing no matter what. I started with 220 on my part & then when most of the bumps and such we're smoothed, I moved onto 400 grit. There were no gaps on my part so I went to primer. It still has print lines visible! How do you manage to cover the up so well?
HackinSpock Hello, thank you for watching. I feel your pain. Getting a smooth surface requires a lot of work. I have to use spot putty or plastic wood filler. After applying it, i sand it down with 220 or 320 and then 400. I’ll hit it with another coat of filler. If i still see lines, i apply more putty. Its a long, arduous process, but your hard work will be rewarded. I’ve been using the plastic wood filler more frequently. Its less toxic, cheaper, you get more, and it sands down nicely. Keep at it, you’ll get there! :)
@@HappyTrooperDotCom Link to the wood filler brand you will be using? I will have to use bondo for now as that is what I have atm.
HackinSpock i really like this stuff: www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Plastic-Wood-32-oz-Natural-Latex-Wood-Filler-00525/205337025 i spread it on with a finger and maybe dip my finger in some water to spread it out. I let it dry overnight and then sand it.
HackinSpock try Bodyfill 360
Awesome. You gonna do the whole 3PO to go with you R2?
TheLocutus70 yes, i think i may try to do a mannequin of some sort and maybe get some arm movement. He definitely won’t walk. He’ll stand on a platform with some pipes going up his legs. Thanks for watching, its great to hear from you again.
I always looked forward to your videos, can't wait to see how he comes out.
Can you please make Captain Rex’s helmet (a Phase 1 and 2 combination)?
Any thoughts on Episode 9 Happy Trooper?
BROWN22 SUGAR I hope they can close this one out with a bang. My favorite recent SW film was Rogue One. We definitely need a win on this one. You think JJ and Disney can pull it off?
HappyTrooper sorry this is late but I think they have a decent chance but I am definitely skeptical. After I enjoyed Endgame I know what a satisfying conclusion can look like
sounds link don't work
C3po eye tube/grill stl file link not working
It appears the CZcams isn't allowing to save directly. Are you able to right-click the link and select save-as? If not, you can go to my blog and and collect the files directly: happytrooper.com/?p=7078
If you're in the Star Wars universe, then I think you were once a Clone Trooper who removed his control chip to avoid Order 66, put on a Stormtrooper armor, and became a CZcamsr, right? That's just my fan fiction at the moment. 😉
Can you please make luke’s x-wing helmet
I highly recommend +TheDarthhair DHP/FX's X-Wing pilot helmet. The helmet kit can be purchased on Etsy: tidd.ly/d43520f9 Check out his video on how to build it: bit.ly/2McwLv4 I have both the X-Wing pilot helmet, and his Tusken Raider mask. Both are highly recommended :)
the black series version of lukes helmet comes out this year $99 you can preorder it now
Thanks but i already startet 3d printing one
@@carguy7884 oh sweet! it will probably end up looking better than the mass produced one. I was just trying to save you some work.
Okay Ok Thanks i apriciate it
Do you actually have a real R2 D2 droid?
DANGDANIEL95 Productions yes, that is why I didn’t have many videos in 2017 :( all of my time went to building R2. He loves to be in CZcams videos. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. MTFBWY
not good gold , use alchlade 2 and food colorant with coat to have reel gold
I’ve seen people use Spaz Stix Candy Gold on top of Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome, that’s probably what I’m going to do.
The most accurate Star Wars prop is 100% screen accurate! 100/100
Edit: Thanks for the heart! Also, try making the rest of C-3PO's body that works. If not, then try to make it using a mannequin.
It is hard to follow or refer back to this seemingly good (long) video without an index, then it would look more professional maybe. I did get some idea tho
