Looking forward to seeing this Andreas.  I did think about doing the same a year ago making R2-Q5 but the picture below is as far as I got.  Mark Markwarren attached the following image(s):

Yes Mark I love this model.could build it again and again.
Now I'm trying the R2-Q5.
Half done!
I did some research on the material beforehand. Simply painting is not. If you are unlucky the paint will peel off. The ABS parts have all been pre-treated with plastic primer. The same with the dome and the other attachments. So far everything has gone really well. It's just a shame that I don't have a picture of the back. I don't know now whether there are copper parts there too. Forum Support Team

Hi Andreas!
You are busy, and I’m glad to see that.
The sphero folks made a R2-Q5 droid, and as I remember, it was accurate. Message me, and I’ll take pics.
Stay well!
Mark

This image has two partial views of the rear of R2-Q5 and shows a bit of copper on the back. :) https://thefunnybeaver.c...ploads/2018/04/R2-Q5.jpg

Mark Thanks, Mark, skyfire for your help. I looked at the little R2-Q5 here on the Model Space page, but unfortunately there are no pictures from the rear of the R2-Q5. Mark can you make some pics?
So far, what has to be painted black is done. Assembling is of course completely different now. You cannot now process issue by issue in sequence here. Comes because of the paint job. Each part must first be checked to see whether it needs to be painted. But so far everything is ok. But have to stop, no more material. With the new lockdown, all hardware stores are closed. Only entrepreneurs are allowed in, but I have a friend who will bring me material next week.
But so far I'm happy with the result.
Stay healthy guys!!!      Forum Support Team

Finally, all components are fully painted. Now wait until the first mods are delivered, then the R2Q5 will be assembled step by step  Forum Support Team

morning all,
i think that model space need to get a few more full kit R2-D2 models as i can see other modelers (me included £ permitting) would want to make other variants.
Happy New Year & a better 2021.
stay safe

Batteries were all charged yesterday so the test came. Batteries were activated, and just like the first R2D2, the R2Q5 did exactly what it should with no problems. Now I can start my modifications. Forum Support Team
