Clone Collector: Great idea. Think I'm gonna go that route. I did some measurements based on the ASTROMECH.NET specs and he is just a tad bit larger than the screen-used R2.
Mando: That might be a bit out of my range, but I'll come up with a design. LOL! It might not "shoot" out, but I think I can get it to rise up, just like Luke's saber BEFORE it was shot off the barge.
Thanks guys! When I get started I'll post a WIP.
