Cut R5-D4 Front Panels for Droid #2

Thus far, when I've wanted one of my droids to appear as R5-D4, I've used red overlays on top of the white panels on the front of the body. Those panels are removable (they are held in with masking tape), which means they are swappable. While the overlays work reasonably well, the droid in the movies has the inner skin panel painted red, rather than an overlay, so I decided to cut some spare panels for this purpose.



I used my little hacksaw to cut the panels out.



I cleaned up the burs with a small file.



I used a chisel to pop out the framed panels. Note that the flat side of the chisel is against the part we're keeping (the frame).



All done for tonight.
