that looks great...the dome looks much better....the good thing is u skipped some details instead of rushing them, that way u can go back and add to it when your not so rushed..

Thanks for all the great comments, and yes im glad ill be able to give this build more time to make it better. Also thanks again for the dome suggestion, really helped pull everything together.

Turned out crazy awesome for the time you spend, have to be proud of that. Got me in the mood, it's going to be a Xmas build.

Yes, Buckett had a great idea to repaint the stripe on the top of the body to give the illusion that the dome is taller. Just took a quick wet sanding of the stripe and an extra coat of silver.

A great build and a great tutorial! This thread is great for the guys (myself included) who are intimidated at the thought of building R2. You have given us confidence! Thank you fotokid!

Glad you like it! I won't lie, I think I work best under a crazy time constraint, gets me thinking more creatively than a larger budget would. Now that the party has passed R2 will hangout in my room until I find proper time to add some much needed detail to the legs/feet and the grills on the chest.
