I am in awe of your mad skillz sir! Between the poker table, the poker room and now R2 your workmanship just leaves me drooling and begging for more. Please tell your wife and your boss (aren't they the same thing?!?!) that you need more time for the important things in life!

Wow!!! Thank you very much. I told my wife, she laughed, and then told me to "get back to work, you can waste time with your friends when your chores are done." :cry

I can't take all the credit, my father shares the obsession, and had a large part to play in the R2 build. But thank you.

It is about 36" tall. Perfect for a small space, without giving up the details.
 
Re: R2D2 Build - Added early build pic of arm assembly

Thank you brother! The dome is 12", and it is acrylic cake topper. The place I got mine was a local mom and pop restaurant supply store. However, I did find several online, I copied some of the sites I found them in: (note: I had to cut the top off my dome, some have them, some dont)

Acrylic Cake Dome products, buy Acrylic Cake Dome products from alibaba.com

acrylic display dome products, buy acrylic display dome products from alibaba.com

DOME COVER CAKE ONLY ACRYLIC 300mm | Hospitality Depot

Hi the site you listed above is requiring 1000 pieces minimum order. Do you have the number to the mom and pop store where you live? I can try ordering from them. Thanks in advance. ...oh I know you said 12" but what is the height and width of that topper? Is there a handle on top you have had sand off?

Who knew an R2 replica could look SO GOOD with wooden parts! What craftsmanship!
 
Re: R2D2 Build - ***NEW PICS****LOTS OF THEM

The topper was bought in Lubbock TX, where my Dad lives. I won't be able to talk to him until this weekend, but i will try and get as much info for you as possible. I will also get detailed measurements this weekend for you of my dome, I wont' be home until then.
