Hey all, Chris here and I just wanted to say thank you to folks who continue to order my 3PO LED Light Kit available through my shop. I’m amazed at their popularity, I never thought there would be much demand for them but I’m even more humbled by the kind words folks have to say about them. So thank you to all who have ordered a kit for their protocol droid projects!

I’m looking forward to doing more in the near future but as always the day to day stuff has to take priority. There will be some interesting updates soon, I had for instance suggested there will be a few completed C-3PO helmets listed a long time back but I’ve been so busy with building my workshop and trying to find time for a little rest between that and the day job so you’ll see I haven’t had much to say of late but I’ll try to do better.

Speaking of the workshop, it’s moving along well! Last weekend I dug a trench for electric cabling, I also have some worktops on order so will be fitting them soon. I do have a little finesse to add to a lot of things but….pictures say a thousand words so when I’m ready I’ll do a it of a write up. I try to keep up-to-date with the socials so if you check the links on the site to Instagram you might see a few updates. Who knows, maybe it will inspire a few of you to also build a workshop, maybe (more likely) it’ll serve as a ‘don’t do this’. Either way, lets find out!

Until next time, take care and all the best!

Well, I’ve finally got back to realising that between the day job, home DIY and the odd smaller project that I’ve neglected site updates a little. However, there’s been a trickle of interest for the 3PO eye kits still and which makes me think I might be able to take them to the next level soon*

But, what else has been happening? Well…..

Since moving places just under 18 months ago now rooms have been updated, floors have been dug up and then dug out again, gardens have been dug up, walls knocked down and workshops erected….. and yet nothing is still finished but it will be and I’m sure it will all be worth the wait. Eventually.

The workshop was taking all my efforts some time back, planning and prep, the ground work alone took months due to bad weather and then due to rain I realised I need to make further preparations…..so hopefully that’s all ok now. I’ll do a separate write up on it because naturally I have lots of pro’s/con’s to mention and who knows, maybe some one reading this will find it useful when undertaking their own build or employing someone.

For now, I’ll leave you with a pic of me as Goldie. A personal reminder for me that when you put your mind to it you can achieve almost anything, it just takes a little elbow grease and perseverance.

Hey all, so just a quick message – its now that time of year and work itself has been busy enough, no break for me unfortunately but I hope to be back making a few more kits around the beginning of January (for those interested). This will give our mail services here in the UK time to clear the waves of post and parcels over Christmas, which as I’m sure we’d all agree, avoiding delays in delivery is wise but my main message was one of cheer and good will to all those that see this, Merry Christmas to you and your families and all the the very best for 2025!

Chris
