Original Introduction as posted on the R2 Builders Club website astromech.net
My name is Joshua Aites. I live in Panama City, Florida.
I am a 28 year old SolidWorks Drafter intern and college student whom will graduate with two associates degrees later this year. One in Drafting and Design; the other in Digital Manufacturing Processes.
As a warm up to this project I am currently working on a custom saber build and cosplay outfit to attend conventions in, while doing research into commonalities between T7 units and R-series Units. I have found they use common leg parts which I can use as a base with a 3D model from the Star Wars: The Old Republic game to get correct dimensions and proportions.
I plan to make a life-size scale Pepakura version of the droid unit first to pull dimensions from and use as reference, while doing more research on here concerning parts and runs I might need, but a lot of work will need to be original as the main body chassis is different from the R-series and the head unit is different as well, although share similar aspects such as the projector eye and data bank led displays.
I imagine I will be posting questions and build progress in a different thread. I plan to put files and other materials for this build up as soon as I get them, so that others might use them for similar builds.
