- I'm continuing my break from building my R6 Astromech and still working on this Star Wars Scrubber Droid. The body is nearly finished, in spite of my Successfully finding a primer that Will Not Bond to HDP.

Another great video. Sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back. It's good that you're including what doesn't work, instead of just showing success. We all learn more from that. At least you've mastered removing rattle can lids!
Thanks Andrew! Yup, that one felt like a huge step back. It is hard not to think of it as a FAIL, but it is really just successfully finding one more thing that does not work. Thanks for making me think about this, I'm gonna go edit the description for this and remove the word Fail from it. I was NOT going to let that can beat me a second time!
@@myAstromech Yes, and now others can learn from it.
Love your videos. They inspire me to keep going on my chopper build.
Thank You for saying so! That makes me happy!
i only just found your channel but every video watch is amazing! love it, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for taking the time to say so!
Ahh!
When I saw the paint chip with the air gun and you just stopped… I know how you feel!
I was painting some aluminum parts for R2 and had all the blue and clear and everything done and dry for over a week. Then a bit of blue tape I used to protect the area that is exposed AL pulled a huge chuck off…. I had cleaned everything and used what was called Aluminum primer. It all pealed off. 98% of it anyway.
@Revvek, This is the life of a builder. I guess we learn quickly to just move on when these things happen. The Scrubber has attended a couple Cons now and is fully mobile. Running into stuff and interacting with Kids. The paint is STILL a worry as after all this I still don't have a great bond...
Another great video 👍 I haven't gotten there yet but plan on using "etching primer" for my aluminum dome. I wonder if that would be good primer for this type of plastic.
The Original primer was an etching primer as well, one I have used in the past for aluminum. This issue confused me a bit... not because the first primer failed, but more because it held SO GOOD in a few spots. I'm usually pretty good with surface prep, but something got by me on this one. Thanks for the comment!
2:18 Nice! LOL
6:47 Sad...
Thanks!
When people say "greblies", does that mean strictly pieces for ornamentation? I hear that term used a lot for building Star Wars builds.
SuperMasterTurtle, YES! Mostly! ;)
Greeblies, Greebles, Nernies... these are all pieces of detail that are used usually to break up a surface and/or create scale. They are often found objects that have some unrelated function, and before we were printing bespoke Greeblies they were literally Kit Bashed or stolen from commercial model kits.
