Still making slugish progress. Got the new frame welded together (based on a mixture of the Jag frame and the senna wooden frame). Started dry-fitting skins to see if the new frame will work (So far so good). And started welding together some 12ga steel feet. These are based off of the Jag prints found in the files sections. The raised details on the outer feet will be 1/32 small but I think I can live with that ;p. I think I may leave the bottom rectangle details open as well, and put some lexan behind them. That way I can put neon in the feet and have a glow effect. Still debating that one as I'm not done welding yet. Hopefully I will have time to build a skirt, and the ankles soon. Then this droid will be able to stand :)

Dude this is crazy awesome. Very much want to see the finished product. There is a website out there that people who do this sort of thing, make movies etc. And this website allows you to get funds to help. I cant remember the name of it but when I do ill post it here unless one us beats me to it! Good luck man and may the Force be with you.
