Oh my oh my almost exactly a year on and R2 is up and running absolutely perfectly. I have been away for a long long period of time from the diary due to unforeseen circumstances but I am overwhelmed by this droid. The batteries all worked perfectly and he is absolutely wonderful. This has to be the best build I have ever done.

I did initially have a few little hiccups with the lightsaber ejection wires disconnecting but I managed to replace those without problem and made the connections a lot tighter inside the dome.

I couldn't help building the drinks holder for him using facilities at my work but unfortunately having been in a redundancy position at the beginning of this year I cannot repeat this effort so this is a one off but well worth it. I am going to redo the deco on the glasses as this did not come out as well as I had hoped but that will be fairly straight forward. I am really pleased to see others coming along and completing well and I really hope everyone has enjoyed building the ultimate R2D2 like me.

All in all I am absolutely blown away by the result and even with all my efforts he has turned out exactly as I had hoped. Enjoy the pics and I'm sorry for the long delay.

Great news on your success with your R2 unit and the drinks carrier is "AMAZING".

Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool

Just be careful if the little fellow goes walkabout on his own, that he can get back in a straight line if the glasses are empty. Hic !! LOL LOL

Well done.
