5 months down, 7 to go: and we are MOVING!!!

Went by the hammerspace today to pick up the last prints for the foot--actually the last prints period, I believe--and got into a conversation with the others about the shells. They helped me do some smoothing on the joins, and I did some repairs and things here and there. Going to reinforce the back with some E6000 (I already tacked some braising back there). I think I'm ready to saw open the holes and start working on the actual mountings. Should be pretty soonish. The feet are looking okay:

(Though you can tell this is definitely my first time doing any kind of braising or similar.)

The print jobs were the foot strips and plugs for the braided copper hose. I went by Home Depot but they didn't have any, so I'll have to shop around, alas. Meantime, I can paint and prep as usual.

The big news is we've got a con this weekend. I dunno if I'm going or not, but I might because (drumroll please) R2 is rolling! I figured out the connections and everything, got it all together, and he rolls great--at least on a solid floor. Carpets, not so much. Still, it's pretty exciting.

Dig my main bot's moves:

Oh, and the skins came today--but there was no one to sign for them, so back they went. Yet another delay. Honest to pete.
