Anthony Daniels himself commented that he couldn't take a step or make any move without pinching and bruising. So I guess you're doing it right! :)
-
Mind-blowing results! Honestly, my first thought when seeing the thumbnail was "Wow, someone got to test-drive the real C-3PO suit?"
-
That is CRAZY COOL! post this everywhere. Great craftsmanship, idea, executed perfect and best C 3PO 😃
-
3D-PO looks great!

I was deaf from 12-14 and I was 13 years old in 1985 at the Hospital for a ear surgery. Anthony Daniels stopped by the Children's Hospital to meet some of the kids in the C3PO costume.
-
Just incredible dedication & patience you must have! Brilliant C3PO you made!
-
Nice work printing, painting and assembling C3PO's armor costume. Cool.
-
TO get a brighter and shinier gold you might look for one that says "Brilliant Gold" and spray alternating layers of clear gloss polyurethane and the brilliant gold and finish with the clear coat of poly to keep it shiny and protected. Silver paints suck but the cheap gold ones have come a long ways. THis looks great.

WOW! That's amazing! It turned out phenomenally! 11/10 I would not want to attempt that myself, let alone be sealed into that suit - it looked VERY uncomfortable.
-
I am about embark on the journey as well and your videos have been amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience! I will definitely be rewatching certain videos as I begin my own build 😊
-
This is a great video! and amazing work! Well done!
-
Powers to you! C-3P0 is not an easy cosplay to pull off. Firstly, you'd have to practically skin and bones to wear the costume, and if you can good luck seeing out of it, Needless to say, you and your crew did a fantastic job!
-
Holy buckets. Your dedication to your craft is amazing. Not to mention your iron self-control over claustrophobia! O_O
-
A real love to the detail you have there. Its awesome! 💛
-
Fantastic work!
-
Looks awesome. I will have to try the modeling paste next time I do larger prints.
-
Well done on an amazing build! I'm going to have to try out that liquitex paste.
