you should pick up a Chewbaca in the same scale and then piece C3PO to his back like in ''The Empire Strikes back'' Just after C3PO gets shot.
Sorry not available

Upon further investigation I find that this vinyl kit 1/4 scale is V/BIG at 17" tall and would not be in scale with C3-PO - so sadly this is a no no.
I just cannot accommodate such a tall model in my display case.

Whilst not finished yet, I have started to add the silver and gold coats.
Both of these are artists acrylic paint by Reeves and have been laid on by hand direct from the tube in a similar way to dry brushing first in one direction then in another so as to build up the colour and induce a sheen
