He's about 99% done. I finished the Interface and Gripper Arms today and got those both installed. One day I'll add servos and motors and make this fully functional, but for now it's just a static display piece. I've never messed with servos and motors so maybe I'll start on something small and work back to R2.
All LEDs and sound are powered by AA batteries and run off one remote.
This is the 26th 1:1 life-sized Star Wars figure I've built, and by far the most demanding. But, I absolutely love how it came out! For me, the two greatest SW props to own are R2 and HIC (which is the other project I currently have in the garage right now). I think the most impressive thing about this build is that it came in under $1000, just took a lot of time and effort.
Here's a final video...........
