R2-D2
While this isn't a costume, it is the largest
project I've worked on so far. Follow along
as I build a life-size, radio-controlled
R2-D2. |

Building
R2-D2
What goes into building
a R2-D2 ? Time, money, more money, a little
more time, and then there is the money. :)
Thanks to the good folks
at Astromech.net and
the R2 Builder's Club (Yahoo
Group and Forum),
I've been able to assemble the parts and
most of the knowledge needed for this project.
Below is a list of the
parts required for construction. Basically,
this is a checklist for my own purposes,
but feel free to use it if you need a checklist
of your own. |
