hey all, does anyone know where I can find a diy on an R2, not a functional 1 of course, just a static prop for my theater (living room) I wanna make aR2, a HIC and a Fett, already have HIC head and Jeremy face cast is on the way. Have made a few Light Saber props, just wanna have a Star Wars room ya know.
You seek the R2 Builders. Head on over to Astromech.net
Thats where you will find tons of resources for an R2; both static and functional. Perhaps you could build a static one for now and add functionality later. :)
Thanks a Billion, just joined
that's really cool!!! I shouldn't be, but I'm amazed that they have a site for astromech droids...lol; if they have a site for mandos, I guess anythings possible!!!:lol:lol:lol
ps- just joined the astromech.net site...lol:D
There is a site for everyone... Be it Ghostbusters, droids, predators or mandos. There is even a yahoo group dedicated to WALL-e, created over a year before the movie was released!
Sure thing!
Everyone should join up... R2 building is the best (excluding Fetts I should say). :)

Accurately shaped and sized domes are now available for under $100 for the first time. http://astromech.net/?q=node/189

I tried to sign up, But the "do you speak" Star Wars question stumped me. No matter what I put.... strang I would have thought my answers were right:?
type in the second word in the sentence "Artoo Detoo Astromech Droid"
just did it and it work keep it all lowercase:)
:rolleyesweird I did that, but will try lower case, thanks:D
Try an 18 inch birdfeeder dome for the dome and an 18 inch concrete form tube (fancy for cardboard tube) and then add greeblies and attatch legs and so on. :P
