My DeAgo R2-D2

[Real Scooby]

The next batch of 10 is done

#71 - 80

some more electrics added to the head

final progress up to #80

 

[Real Scooby]

Almost there

#81 - 90

The finished front panels, hm ... I feel the need for some customizing coming up here. I DO NOT plan to add some LED´s to the toolpits, but they look pretty undetailed. Might have to take a look what my spare-parts-box comes up with. There should be some random parts and cables left over from the BTTF Delorean. Maybe some spare parts from my collection of BANDAI-kits could come in handy here too.

and the final progress up to #90

Can´t wait to finaly put everything together and start the inside-wiring-maddness

What a great build you have here

now the parts

after #91

progress up to #96

The finals

#97 - 100

fidly inside wiring madness

progress #100

BANDAI 1:2 BB-8 gives a thumb-up

Really love him so far, now up for charging the batteries and start testing.
Will take a little break and start weathering him up later, and I am back with a final review in a few days

Wow... Just wow... I passed on this since I have a (or most of anyway) full size R2 Kit... The electronics look impressive. Looking forward to seeing it done.

Where did you get your full size kit from as I’m interested in building out a true to scale size R2 unit? Thanks

I got it piece by peice from the R2D2 Forums... although some of the bigger parts came as assemblies... like the inner framing and the legs.

Found most everything I needed and lots of helpful folk here:
