MOC: C-3PO Midi-Scale by DanSto

Regulars of the blog may remember the astromech R2-D2 droid at scale Midi Scale that Daniel aka had proposed to us DanSto early 2013 (see this article). This version of R2-D2 has since inspired many MOCeurs including Omar Ovalle who had made a version of it "Maya the abeille".

Two years later, the little droid is finally joined by his lifelong companion on the same scale: C-3PO. The circle is complete, the droid couple is reformed and you can even reproduce these two creations at home thanks to the instructions provided (free) by DanSto.

Note that this version of C-3PO composed of a little more than 500 pieces and which measures 28 cm high has been the subject of some concessions: The Technic discs present on the joints of the knees and on the torso have been dressed stickers because they do not exist in yellow. The presence of certain pieces in Tan is explained for the same reason.

This version of C-3PO is not frozen, even if we will obviously enjoy making him take his characteristic posture seen in the films of the saga: shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, neck, torso, thighbones, everything is articulated. .

To download the instructions in PDF format as well as the inventory files to import on Bricklink of these two droids, it is at this address that it happens.

The visuals of the stickers allowing to dress the discs present on the chest and on the knees are even included!

If you have any questions for Daniel, especially concerning the use and cutting of the pipes of different colors present in this MOC, do not hesitate to ask them in the comments, I am sure he will be happy to answer you .
