UPDATE: Final droid update on Page 7.
Hi All,
I thought I would create a build log for my WED-15-77 Treadwell Droid from Star Wars, A New Hope. There was a Star Wars Storybook that had shown a great picture of the droid with Luke that made me remember it as if I had seen him in the movie. Ever since then I have wanted my very own Treadwell.
Here is a picture as refresher, he was included in a deleted scene more recently. However he also made into the Jawa Sandcrawler and also as a mechanic on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.

A little about my background, about five years ago I joined the R2 Builders club and built my first droid R2-M5. Basically he is a red version of R2-D2 and shortly there after I built a scaled version of the MSE-6 droid. Now I want to build my own Treadwell. I started by joining the Treadwell Builders group and found that the few members there created several blueprints for the main areas of the droid. I was also able to get a photocopy of an article that was written in 1977 by Electronics Today International. Here is a low rez version of the page I got from the publisher.
