This week, I built my son a C-3PO costume for Halloween!

I knew I didn’t have enough time to do the entire suit so I just built him the head and chest plate. The 2k High Clear Gloss really gives the gold a nice shiny look, but if I ever do C-3PO again, I’ll be sure to try Alclad’s “gold titanium” instead. It’s slightly less yellow and a bit higher in natural reflectivity. Still very proud of this build and looking forward to its use come Halloween night!

Thanks for watching!
