R2-D2 help ?!!!

[Guardian]

Hi all I didn't know if this would go here, but I want to build a 1/6th scale R2-D2 as screen accurate as it gets, I don't even begin to know what the dimensions for R2 are, does anyone know ? or where i can go to check ?

Thanks,
-Mike

There are vinyl model kits of R2 in that scale, and Kenner did a relatively recent one for the 12" figure line (I have this one). One of these would be a great place to start rather than building at that scale from scratch I think...

Yeah, the Hasbro one is pretty darn accurate.

Guardian, go here and down load the “scale calculator utility”, and then use the dimension from the R2 Builders Club to scale down to 1/6th scale...Good Luck!!
