Pittman Motor has arrived. This is the first motor I've purchased and will be used to make the Dome spin. I also received the correct bracket for this baby earlier in the week and already have it installed in the frame. I'll test this dude out in the morning.
Also received a package I've been waiting awhile for. These were some of the first parts I ordered: Foot Strips, the Dome Topper & Bumps and the really cool Leg Struts. I put my word in for a run of Booster Covers in a parts suggestion thread this week. They are about the only leg piece that I don't have on order or that I know isn't already planned to be run this year.
There's been a little too much shenanigans on the Astromech boards for me this week. I've had to bite my tongue from going off a couple times. Seems even in a group of Star Wars geeks there has to be some jerks.
Other than that mess, I've been continuing Dome work. Started sanding the Inner Dome last night. This one doesn't have to be too smooth, but I want to at least get the spin lines out. I'm doing the old fashioned way too - by hand! Goal is to paint the necessary Dome panels before the humidity of summer gets here. I've been searching for the correct rattle cans to make the Krider Blue formula. No luck yet.
