Check out what I just scored!

[Darth Stone]

I have finally won one of these on the Bay. Any one want to guess what I'm going to use it for?

 

[Aluke123]

Looks like it could be a model for a Kamino structure...

 

[Darth Stone]

Nope, sorry try again.

 

[101radioman]

to sit and spin?

 

[Darth Stone]

Think Star Wars, now that should be a dead giveaway:thumbsup

 

[GoldCylon1]

Flip it upside down, and it looks like something from cloud city?

 

[Darth Stone]

Another clue. ILM prop dept..

R2 D2 dome spinner bearing thingy. Good find. I unfortunately spent money on the oval one.

 

[Darth Stone]

Ding, Ding, Ding,... And we have a winner :thumbsup

I have been wanting to build one of these for years. So here it is part number one!

 

[pyxl]

Wow...had no idea those were useful to anyone. We have a 5 year old girl that just stopped playing with hers. I'll check with my wife and see if I'm allowed to get rid of it...is so, I'll offer it up here.

 

[drusselmeyer]

Oh, I was thinking Millennium Falcon Chessboard.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Okay, I may be a dumb-ass, but I've looked and looked and can't for the life of me figure out where that odd looking toy thing is located on R2. Please tell me.

me too, no idea what part its supposed to be:angel

 

[Megamicrofish]

me too, no idea what part its supposed to be:angel

I think it is used instead of a Lazy Susan for the bearings

 

[Darth Stone]

Yes, that's right. It is pretty simple really. On the base of the Sit-N-Spin there is a bearring and race assembly that when trimmed out can be used for R2's dome to ride opon.

Cool. Mine's sitting in my basement waiting for me to get far enough on R2 to warrant putting it into action. My sister has (or at least was going to) create a tutorial for the R2 Builders group on how to modify the thing to make it work with the R & J dome.
In the meantime, the kids want to, GASP, play with it...

 

[xeno]

I wouldn't mind a pic of it when disassembled, maybe this can be made by hand,
as the lazy suzan is perfect but a mother to get shipped across the pond, without insane shipping and customs charge :lol

 

[Funky]

I'd love to see a modified on in an R2 unit.
