Thanks all. I'm really enjoying the build so far. Looking for something else to build along side this one. Maybe something to keep me a little bit more occupied. As the R2 build only takes about an hour a month. Any suggestions welcomed. Peter Completed - R2D2

Nice work, looking good....  .. As for something else to build, obviously this is down to your preference in the kind of models you like to build so why not take a look in the MS Shop, am sure you'll find something there to prick your desires.... Regards Alan

The dome is quite heavy, hope the body has more weight or it will topple over It looks very well designed so i am sure they will have the weights well balanced. It has to have batteries at a later stage so these may add to the base weight making it nice and stable. Happy Modelling
