leg prep

So I asked around about attaching the booster covers to the legs, and the consensus seems to point toward E6000, a craft adhesive I hadn't heard of before but folks seem to like. So I got some at Lowe's and have tested it out on the holoprojector which got knocked out of place when I was putting R2 in the car after Planet ComiCon. It says to give 24 hours to cure, so I gotta keep my cotton pickin' mitts off until tomorrow night. Hopefully this stuff will do the trick.

Meantime, I put another dose of metal paint on the wooden hubs. They're looking better, but I think I'll give them one more coat tomorrow morning before work. Also, I want to take the ankle shims with me so I can cut the back parts off and actually mount them in place. I'll see how the E6000 stuff works there, metal to wood. That's probably all I'll be able to do before I take off for the weekend. Hopefully next week I'll be able to cover some more ground on the legs, at least get the outer ones finished up and ready to go.
