My R2-D2 - 4.5 years in the making

[DrMaul]

Thanks for the compliments. As mentioned, I couldn't have done it, for many reasons without the R2Builders community.

How did you make the "gonk" droid?  Any info on that?

He's almost completely sratchbuilt...a timber frame/legs. Plastic sides...a lot of filling and sanding. I did that one over 6 years ago...I might have some vaguely useful photos somewhere.

Wow.. Most impressive.
I would die for a R2 as beautiful as that.

PS: the Death Star set is, of course, fully inspired by the excellent one seen/displayed in the R2Builders room at Celebration 3.

NICE ... at least you don't need a U-haul to transport it

I admit it got a little crazy but I'd do it all over again.

Great R2 and Gonk btw....

That is really amazing. Everything looks great, a truly prestine version. Great work.

Some pics would be great. Can you take a couple of pics as it is now and maybe a few dimensions ?

He's 1070mm tall (legs are 290mm tall), and around the middle (the "equator" band), he's 600mm x 440mm. The legs extend all the way inside and mount to a frame at the equator.
