Thank you, I appreciate that. That's what I was going for, so I guess its working.

Its a funny story, but the short version is when I started my poker table, I wanted astromech droids to serve as end tables. You know, with trays on their shoulders like in ROTJ when R2 is in Jabba's sail barge serving drinks. This way you could put drinks and snacks on the tray tables.
So after that, we found that building a 2/3 size was much cheaper. All the parts are hand carved, mostly wood, but some styrene and PVC. Then we got into making molds and casting them so we could build more. I'd ultimately like to have three in the basement. If they were full size I'd never have the space, time, or money for it.
However, both my dad and I plan on building a full size in the near future:love

Just read through the entire thread. Savored every minute of it. I know it's been said many times before but your room is epic man. The thought & creativity that has gone into it is simply stunning. Can't wait to see what's next.

I recognized the AR butt-stock immediately! Looks fantastic and the R2 units are too cool. I'm currently building a full-sized R2 via Astromech.net. The room is coming along amazingly. I always look forward to your thread updates.

awesome man, i am pretty excited to get started on a fullsize, but my "project to-finish" list is forever. Thanks for the kind words, and taking the time to look through!

no, not at all man. August 11 is my birthday, and my wife is throwing a huge bash for me. So back in November when i started the project (WOW that seems like a long time ago) I planned on setting that as a deadline. But the project has taken a lot of work, and of course i have had to work on it around the rest of my life and other responsibilities.
So in short, no, not a huge deal I would just like it to "feel" close to completion for my guests to enjoy a bit.

Does he meet the height requirements to be out of a booster seat?just a funny little shot of R2 strapped in for the ride to work. I had to take him and show him to my coworkers.

I like the 2/3 scale R2 units, they seem to make more sense at that size. I always thought they were too big, they just built them at that size to fit the actor inside.
