Footshells and stuff

Been working on the footshells so I can get the feet on the legs with the motors installed.
Biggest problem has been the way the curves inside the feet (made from the for sale signs, if you remember/read the previous post) and the way they don't really fit out of the box. I even made the replacements bigger, but there are still issues.

I started by filling the gaps with wood putty:

After filling and sanding twice, I applied a layer of CA glue as a sealer, and sanded that down some.

Currently I'm priming them, mainly to find all the crappy spots that need more work...

I'll say it has been extremely difficult to concentrate on the footshells, mainly because of this:

And naturally, who can resist the "silver bullet" pictures? It was too much temptation for me...

That's all for now...
