I started the R2-D2 last year and Its my first time building anything and it’s been fantastic,easy to follow instructions and (touch wood) no problems at all.
I’m a huge Star Wars fan so making this has been emotional and looking at the fact files has been really interesting.
So as I’m new to this building and this forum Any advice would be great.
Thank you all and I’m looking forward to my next build.
I’m looking to build the Darth Vader lightsaber with crystals and leds and sounds next if it ever comes up cos finding one to make like the r2 in monthly payments is impossible so hopefully theyed do one here,I’ve also heard there’s an x-wing coming soon,can’t wait
Thanks again

Glare I’ve noticed a lot of folk have built quite a lot of models,it’s around a year since starting my r2, so you Modelers must have started years ago,
I’m on issue 80 of my r2 build,so does anyone know how many issues I have left to finish it
