This has to the most mind blowing issue so far. Confused

Only 2 leg details to insert.

All in all this build is coming on nicely. So far the whole structure is very well built and the parts are not too flimsy. It is also getting quite heavy.

The build is a little slow just now, but hopping that it picks up soon with all the parts not being used building up. BigGrin

Nice to see some good progress.
Some issue's just don't make sense (I will be getting to that exciting issue soon) but I guess that how they drag it out over 2 years

Thanks all

I suppose your right Darren, it's there way of stretching out the issues for the 2 years BigGrin

Roll on when there is more than just about 20 minutes of build per month. It takes me longer to take the photos and post an update.

If R2D2 does everything what deagostini says then 2 years and £900 will be worth it.

Everything time I look at R2D2 dome I get giddy 😀

Here we go with this months build.

Issue 21

Here we will be securing the leg support to the leg. Then adding the first part of the wheel support. The inside leg cover will be for later and more screws as well.

Finally got round to this months build, it's been a busy week. I became a grand dad for the first time. My daughter gave birth to lovely little boy.

So the build.

Issue 25
The last piece of the dome frame fitted. And a couple of parts of the support for fitting later.
