2-1B Surgical Droid

[greatwhite70]

Thats cool, me and my R5-D4 are in it towards the end hoping to start your kit this coming weekend, thanks again awesome piece!!

It was about 3/5 the way in when the Belgium(?) builders were putting together life size ships.

Zorg - I'm guessing you noticed the 2-1B inspired droid in The Force Awakens...


His "mouth" is a PC microphone made in China by Transhine


More pics of the microphone on The Parts of Star Wars Facebook page:

It looks like there's a bunch of found parts on him, but I haven't identified any more...yet.

Yeah I spotted it but thought it was a shure with the small glimpse I got, maybe they couldn't afford one after paying all those scriptwriters.


Sorry I meant taking the scriptwriters to court


On similar note, I spotted this the other night. It's chromed plastic, i cant find a pic from the front but what I can see the profile looks identical. This company does 3 different types of this 50 so style mic. So be 'shure' to look at the correct one.

Who's gonna order one to try? The chrome can be buffed with a scotch pad to dull the chrome effect.

Hey chaps, been assembling some heads and thought i would show the method i use to fix the neck ring to the already fitted and fixed clear piece.


leave at least 24hrs to cure enough. the ones i have fitted are on very securely, they ain't coming off !

I used a hard drive platter bearing, a tomtit engine cylinder and visible v8 distributor for the behind the mic thing.

Quite a bit of work to do but worth it.

Are there different sizes of PL-259 connector? I got some from eBay, but the section that would go inside the hole in the mic is about 0.5-1mm too wide in diameter to fit...

I cut the end off the connector and inserted a piece of tubing the right size.
