Had a chance to troop with some 501'st guys at a book signing...R2 as you can see is NOT a Fanilow...:lol

also got the scope attached to the dome last week....enjoy.





 
UNBELIEVEABLE. That IS R2.

That periscope is crazy. There is so much to try and comment on - it seems silly to go down the list. All those panels being able to be opened is insane. I do like the way you positioned your fire extiguisher too. And the radar... - it's all so exquisitely, fantastically, disgustingly awesome.
 
thank you sir. I still need to put the cpu arm in....I'm working on that...

Gotta keep up with the Munsons.

dude, your work is flawless and execution is the best I have seen so far. Great job and I'll flag this thread with great interest. You inspire me to finish mine .

Dude, that's frickin' phenomenal, and truly inspirational. I saw that movie, and started thinking if it was too late to incorporate all those features into my lil' feller. I could only dream of making mine one day that awesome. Truly phenomenal. Ok, back to work for me :)

I would have liked to have a lot more height on the scope...but got tired of screwing with it and gave up :)

thank's for all the compliments guys.


womo
 
Very nice work indeed. seeing this made me wonder... does anyone insure their things like r2s
 
womo, from what i hear, your R2 is even more impressive in person. i can't wait to lay my eyes on it in the flesh :thumbsup
 
That is truly an amazing and the best R2 I've seen. I'm soooo envious. You did a fantastic job :thumbsup
 
You know...I'm torn...

Part of me is THRILLED that you guys are praising Wayne's R2...I've been telling him for months just how awesome it is, and he just didn't seem to believe me...

However...

The other part of me knows that all these comments are going straight to his head...hehehe...And I can assure you that is NOT a good thing :)

Honestly Wayne...Great job man...You should be very proud of what you have built.

Hi m8

An inspiration to the rest of us, and out of interest how many channels is the radio control running on, as you seem to have lots of working or opening bits.

dude, if your gonna do the periscope... you gotta do the saber ejection. get a hyperfirm type saber and shoot that badboy across the convention show floor. LOL.


seriously one of the best ive seen.

have you guys never seen cris lees? i cant ever remember his RPF name, but he has his real name in his sig, so i guess its ok.

anywho, his has alot o stuff incorparated... including the fog (and its thick, and comes from the body like R2s does in Empire... it also has a built in web cam, g4 imac, and an ipod incorparated...

oh and it projects a blue leia psuedo hologram.

if you havent seen it, ill PM himand see if i cant get him to do a show off...

god you guys make me so jealous, i wish i could get a high paying job, or get my music back off the ground so i could have droid mania along with you.

but i do love a good show off thread. and this one just about takes the cake.



and Womo, was there no way to get the top to spin? (i know i know, its enough.)

hes a beaut. B)
 
I've seen Chris' and his is very very sexy. The Leia thing is awesome...Even Lucas admired it at C3.

As far as spinning the top...are you talking about having the dome do 360's? If so...I have a ton of wires going into the body...I can turn it around a couple of times but have to remember to turn it back :)

Thanks.
Wayne
