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.

Small Update

Just a quick update. Last night I painted the battery connector areas metallic and attached the moons on the center foot. The one side is attached with magnets so it will just pop off when I need access to the bolt holding the foot on.

The moons are a bit high, but thats how I had to do it to get access to that bolt.

You and my Wife are KILIING ME!!!!
Both of you will be finished before I get my R2 done.
I almost had a Droidreka Destroyer like your BattleDroid. But the price went to 255.00 and that was alittle too much for me. I went up to 190.00 and had to drop out.
WAAAAAAWAAAAAAWAAAAA!!!!!
He was brand new in the box.
WAAAAAWAAAAAWAAA!!!!!!:(
Maybe next time.

For the next part I have to take R2 apart again. I'm going to flie the ankles down and add those cutting board spacers. Once that's done I need to add my second shoulder piece and fix up the cracks in the feet that happened when I mounted them. Painstaking!

$255 for droideka!? holy crap! I ALMOST got one for about $35, but decided it was too big for my space.

I'll show u a thread where I saw somneone who built the battle droid. He got it for CHEAP!!! Another guy I saw got one for $39 shipped...

I wish you luck man...keep at it!
