Fixing up the power couplers
For a while, I have been searching for a pair of aluminium power couplers to replace my old, resin ones!
After looking around for months and months, I bought a second had pair from Daren Murer, who made my lovely dome for my droid!
These were used and painted already, and used a different type of mounting that I had in mind, so I had a bit of work to do!
First off, This is what they looked like when I received them:
The paint is a bit thick for my taste, and the finishing on them is a bit scruffy looking, no doubt as a result of the weathering of the droid the were on before arriving at my place!
After cleaning it up a bit, it looks like this:
Next up is masking off the areas that should not be painted…
After painting the pieces, this is what it looks like!
Old one on the left, and the freshened up version with my own blue colour on the right
Now I’ve only got to fix up the second one. Mounting inside the frame is already fixed and tested! =)
