Current Status

Today I got the legs finished up and re-installed so I decided to put together what I have so far to see how everything looks.  Gosh!  this is really fun :-)  R2 actually is starting to look like something and all the parts fit.

Rear view showing the electronics panel.  The top of the panel hits the skin (just barely) so it will need some trimming, other than this all is well.

Side view showing complete legs.  Only thing the legs are missing are the lower ankle cylinder holders.

R2 progress to date

There is a Science Fiction model contest at a local hobby shop (Galaxy Hobby) this weekend and they wanted me to display my R2 so I figured this was a great time to put him together with what I have completed so far.  I got everything in place and I am thrilled with the progress.  R2 runs and drives great and looks pretty darn good too.  Actually with all the panels missing and door off he is very interesting to look at.  This is fun!!
