Today is a leg day

So the used legs I got from the junkyard showed up. I was pretty excited, as you can probably imagine. I got the wooden leg assemblies, the horsehshoes for the top, resin booster covers and booster pistons. They even had the "fat ankles" attached. So this will save me some time -- not to mention money.

That being said, I was later informed that bailing out of the leg run I had previously signed up for in favor of picking up these instead is frowned upon in the R2 club. It goes against the whole build-your-own ethos, but also it's best not to bail on a build run unless it's like financial hardship or something like that. So, now I know:

Lesson Learned:

• Don't bail out of a product run unless you have to

 Still, I've got the legs now, and they're all right. They've been glued together, and some smoothing has been done, but it's going to take a lot more. Still, this is entirely workable, and I can't wait to make it happen.

Here is one of the legs with the booster stuff, horseshoe, and the shoulder buttons and hydraulic I printed and painted a while back:

As you can see, the booster covers are going to need some serious trimming and painting and whatnot. I'll take them by the shop soon.
