8723. How to build your own full-size R2 -D2!
Join the R2 Builders Club as they present the materials, methods, tools, time and costs related to building a full-scale R2-D2. When you saw R2 extend an arm or device on screen, that was often a specially built unit with off-camera stagehand operating it. These days, modern technology allows our droids to do what the movie-versions could not! And what the heck do you do with an R2 when you're done? Many attend children's hospitals and hit the "charity circuit". Some build their R2 as a living room media center and are never heard from again! Your build, your way. We welcome all who love R2! (And dont forget the Mice, Scrubbers, BB's and others, too!)
