Love the Droid! The next step is to get him moving around.

Love the Droid! The next step is to get him moving around.

Not thus one, maybe if I do another droid made out of other material. The closest this will come is being on caster wheels.

Some update photos. I am a lot happier now the claw has been re-done. It's a lot more stable and looks more the part. i ran out of clear coat today so I have to put the weathering on hold until I pick up some more.

This looks like a great way to build up a clone wars stlye R2

 

[Broilermaker]

Wow! This is great, anyone can build an r2 and few will build an r5, this chopper is the bomb!

 

[Oldrepublicjedi]

I have been asked by some people for some help and maybe some of my templates. In response to this I have attached the following template measurements that i went with and you can play around with these to get what you want out of your own build. These are only some of the templates as most parts were done as I went along with the notes and measurements written on the foam, which have since been painted over. If you have any questions Im happy to help where I can. All measurements are in mm.

Hi Everybody,
This is it the end of this project and I must say it has been really fun, and turned out much better than I had hoped. These are the last couple of pics and a video of the final product. I hope you have all enjoyed watching this build and if so please comment, that will make me decied with future projects whether on not to do the progress pics again, which takes a little longer due to stopping and starting to take pictures.
Anyway here he is.

Chopper was a great success at MCM Expo in London this weekend. Here are a couple of pictures. We even had a special guest come and see him, Mary Franklin the Sr.Events lead at Lucasfilm, that was a very nice surprise.

Fantastic job, I think you should absolutely document another build. This one came out great and I think everyone liked the progress pictures.

Thanks paul6700.

 

[hoggworks]

That's super clever. Love it!

 

[stormtrooperguy]

I can't like this enough! What a cool use of foam!

 

[Oldrepublicjedi]

Hi Guys & Gals,
If anybody wants to follow the adventures of Chopper he now has his own pages on Twitter and Facebook. Just search for Chopper Droid UK to see pics videos and upcoming events he will be attending.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

This is great! This is something I want to do when I get some time

 

[rchrz60]

Can you please get me the specs or plans for this? I totally want to build one. Also what type of paint are you going to use on that foam? Thanks- Ryan

Hi Everybody,
I know its been a little while since I have posted some new pics, I just haven't had the time with all the projects I have on the go. So here are a couple of pics to keep you going. I have done most of the sealing on the parts, wired up the droid and started to do some of the base coats. These will be clear coated before adding the weathering and matching it up with the Chopper stills which have been published.
I have also shown some links to items I have used if anybody is thinking of doing something similar and give them some ideas on a budget.


This is the led board which has been added so I can change the light set up.
Knight Rider Scanner GhostBusters Proton Pack Power Battlestar Galactica 9930Rd | eBay


This is the link to the audi I have wired in.
200s USB MP3 with 5 BUTTONS device voice music sound music record recorder | eBay


Wireless 12 channel remote switch box.
12V 12Channel Relay RF Switch 1000m Remote Control Transmitter + Receiver 315MHz | eBay

Hi everybody!
Those are the links to the harware for the sounds... BUT I really dont know how to work with it.... Its so easy you must cut the buttons of the mps and connect the wires to the switch?? each pair of wires in one swicht????
Can someone help me???

 

[Oldrepublicjedi]

Hi Guys,
I'm in the process of making a number of other prop projects and have never sold any of my work. To make some room I thinking of selling Chopper, but have no idea what he is worth or what people would be interested in paying for him. Can anybody give any advice. Thanks

 

[NightShine]

Besides for Todo 360, Chopper is pretty much my favorite droid ever solid work!! Major props and gold star stickers from me ~ wup wup!!

Edit: --> I'd have no idea how much something like this would go for ): I'd be interested if I wasn't dropping minimum 1k on my current costume /cries
