More Parts!!!!

I got my Battery Boxes and Ankle Details this week. A few parts closer. :)

Test mounting the Totally Wired skirt

Well we got around to mounting the skirt today. The thing looks so nice that I am sad to have to paint it. I picked up a piece of 1/4 20 threaded rod and cut the mounting pins out of that (about 3/4 of an inch long). It is a very easy install on the Comm8 frame.

HoloProjectors Arrived (Friggin Sweet!)

I went down to the post office to pick up my holo-projectors that I ordered from ffesquet today. These are truly amazing parts!!!!!! We are getting there. I should be receiving my battery boxes and coin returns in the next few weeks. The search for parts continues on.

I had some assembly help from one of my Droid building assistance.

I received my TotallyWired aluminum skirt today. It is an amazing piece of work. I am trying to decide if I am going to paint the entire skirt or take the polished bars off and paint the skirt under them and leave the polished surface. It is almost to nice to paint :)~

I also got time to cut out and clean up the pie panels on the outer dome.

More parts arrived today

I got home from work today and some Droid parts were waiting for me!!!!! SWEEEEEET!

I got my side vents, pocket vents, and a set of ankle cylinders. It is starting to come together :) I also found a set of holo-projectors that should be arriving soon. And the amazing parts search continues.

Rockler + TW Aluminum skirt (A good day)

It was a good day in Droid building land. I received my Rockler bearing in the mail today. I am going to try to get the dome mounted to the bearing this weekend. I was also able to get a aluminum skirt from the TotallyWired run (the part looks amazing in the photos I have seen so I can not wait to see it in person).

SWEET!!!!

Finished up the bottom row of the dome.

I finished up cutting out and cleaning up all of the bottom panels in my outer dome today. It took about 5 hours so far (a little longer than I was expecting). I taped all of the panels back into the dome with some masking tape to firm it up before cutting out the top pie panels. It felt sort of flimsy once all of the panels were out and I was afraid it was going to collapse while I was working on the top. It is a lot more solid now.
