Stars Of Hope Charity Fundraiser 2013

1044654_10200843615466108_1192274944_n

The last two Saturdays were spent trooping the "Stars of Hope" charity fundraiser at the Regal 16 movie theater in Pinellas Park, Florida. It was a really fun event. Here's a quick description of how the day went...

The video clips of the droids were shot by Magnum who, along with Savanah Keifer, also took many photos of the event (many included below.) Be sure to check out more coverage on his blogmagnumarts.blogspot.com



Also, I did a quick show-and-tell about my mannequin setup and how I pack Threepio into his transport container... Videos below.

Coming in from the right is the hand of the extremely talented model builder, Randy Cooper.
Randy had worked on LOTS of films you've probably seen including such flicks as Iron Man2 , Starship Troopers, Alien 3, A.I., Batman Returns and a slew of other awesome movies. Very stoked that he came over to say hello to Artoo and Threepio!

Thank you!

Neck Template

My version of the neck and some templates if you want to make your own.
Enjoy!



T-Nuts-
The movie suits used a similar configuration except with the use of 1/4-turn Dzus fasteners. I've purchased a few of these but I bought the wrong size. Ordering more soon and will post updates as to how they compare.

These are pushed through from the inside of the neck and glued into place.

Looks like this when done.
This sticks out just far enough to grab onto the holes on tabs of the mask's face but don't interfere with the back of the helmet.
