I have the same issue. I really want to do the all the droids from the season 5 story arc where Meebur Gascon discovers Gregor. Right now I have the astromechs sitting in a drawer, the only one completed is R2 since he requires no work. Sausage fingers and small scale painting aren't a good combo. Stick with it man, the more you do the better you'll get.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I plan to finish this drink droid. Using a jewler's magnifying visor helps the old eyes but noting steadies the old hands! I'm taking my time and stepping away for a bit until I can face the multiple attempts one little droid panel requires to get right. I think this is how Jedi *should* be trained. Patience, indeed!

I really dig your resonator - what an awesome accessory - great attention to detail.

Thank you, darth_sidious!

Well... I finished my bartender droid in time to submit it for Yakfinties #52. I finally had to stop trying to "fix" all the little imperfections because I was going crazy. I think I may go back to protocol droids now. Much easier to paint! Here's basically how we see this little guy onscreen...



And here's his "full frontal.

Time to do a front page on this Astro and Yakfiniities52.

Thanks, koth.

Haven't posted these here yet, but I figured Tamer would appreciate the droids of Echo Base...

Thanks, Tamer and DarthSinister!

Here's another fix I've wanted to do for a long time...

The OT had three attractive actors in the leads so it's always irked me when we get figures that look like this:



I've wanted to rework the whole figure but I decided to start with the most offensive part. I was torn between replacing the head and trying to repaint it. This one ended up being hard to photograph. The make up looks more subtle to the naked eye.

Nice work CustomJedi
Detailing these faces, especially the female faces is rough. Nice job here. 
Now what about those elbows? ............  ;)
