Ooh, you could drop in a couple of speakers and a fog machine to play the Star Wars disco music!

(i know you say it on the title but just wanted to make sure as i have only seen your hic displayed on it lol)

I'll need to actually measure an r2 with legs down and everything to be sure. But I'll make sure it fits before selling them

I can send you whatever measurements if you want. I have a club spec R2.

the total width of him from outer foot shell to outer foot shell is 28.25 inches
Total depth from the back of his back feet to the front tip of his center foot is 26.5 inches.

If you need any additional measurements, let me know.

Some guys on the R2 builders club made these awesome pedestals for Celebration to display members' R2. Very similar design but made for a three-legged R2 with space for the feet so that they wouldn't roll into a slot in the floor.

What machine did you use to cut the slots?

I have a 5'x12' CNC router.

Can you also give me the dimensions of a r2 foot?

It was pretty dormant for a while. I'm glad to be able to make these for people now!

In red, the new one looks a lot like the carbon freezing chamber on Bespin. I'm sure that was the idea, so mounting an HIC on that would be B-A.

Yup! This version is the Bespin freeze chamber pattern
