Hello everyone so i have begun building my full size astromech droid! I know that this project is going to take a long time but I feel it will be worth it in the end. My droid will be built from styrene and 3d printed parts. The dome is actually a security mirror but requires a 2" riser made from a floral craft ring and styrene cover.
I wil be loading larger and not sideways photos soon.... stress

Well done! That little Droid looks great. I can see how he was a hit. I understand your pride. I wish you had some videos to share.
Who's in your first picture?
For starters I am super jealous that you are there
So two questions: One I heard chatter that EFX made an announcement there that they were releasing a full scale RC R2?
And next how was the Ez B received from the Astromech "purists" builders?
@Dave Schulpius thank you! There was a line to even get into the room so videos are hard. I will try and take more today! the first picture is of JJ Abrams, the director of the new film, and Kathleen Kennedy, the producer and now president of lucasfilm.
The two year wait has far surpassed my expectations
@Jayutmb
Yes EFX did make an announcement of the full scale R2D2. It is also remote controlled. They however wouldnt fill us in on the price so Im sure it is a small fortune...
At first I sort of got the feeling from the purists like "of that's cute" haha but once JJ walked through before the show started and there were many fans giving my droid attention they saw how cool it was and started to be a lot more curious. A few of them by the end of the day had the website up on their phones! I think once they saw it in action it was well received
Couldn't watch the video for some reason, but the pictures are great!
Try again I'm not sure why the video was set to private
Very cool work!
R7-A2 was all ready to go and eager to meet all the crazy fans this morning. There were so many people I dont know how we all survived!
