R2D2 Fett's Blog

This is just to post updates on my various projects, like my full sized R2D2, my Han Solo in carbonite, my Boba Fett, Yoda, C3PO......AND the finishing of our basement (and home theater)or anything else that I might think is interesting enough to post.

Middle Earth Map, R2 Feet progress, Fett Chest lights,,,,and Maul saber

Wow...busy sounding blog entry!

I finished the Middle Earth Map Frame and hung it. Next to it is a cool Ikea kid's lamp that flickers like a real torch. Totally adds to the area!!
















I have been SLOWLY working on R2's feet. They SHOULD fit the drive assemblies fromt he scooters. I plan to have the battery packs (oval things beside the feet) attach with velcro. That way I can pull them off to access the bolt that will fasten the leg to the feet. I won't need it to pivot since my R2 is fixed in the 3 legged position. They are just bring glued together now. They will need bondo, sanding, and all the detail pieces added.

















This last pic shows my Boba Fett (95% done) with his chest lights in place. Also the Darth Maul lightsaber is hanging above. That was a Christmas present. :)

Middle Earth Maps

My maps FINALLY came in. A couple days of spraying with tea, then coffee have aged them. A couple tears and burn...and Booyah..a genuine old Middle Earth map!
