Hello all,
I am a member of the R2 builders group. A fellow member is building the gripper arm R2 uses to snatch Yoda's light in Empire. We are trying to source this part. We think it's a piece from some model kit. I am hoping some of you studio scale guru's might recognize what it's from and identify it -if it's from a kit at all.
Here is a picture from an event I attended today where the arm was on display. I'm 99.9% sure this is a casting off the original ESB one that was used in the ROTJ scene where R2 short circuits after being shot. So the original part used was probably a lot cleaner.
Well, I hope someone(s) can help. I've personally been trying to figure out what it is for a number of years so my sanity appreciates any thoughts you RPF members might have.
Thanks,
-Beep
