I think this is the most authentic ANH R2-D2 that I've seen so far. For some reason, the prop in A New Hope is really difficult to nail the likeness, and I'm not quite sure what it is. For one the dyes that they used of course create some interesting effects in certain lighting. I think part of it is the panel alignment. In A New Hope, the radar eye is lower than it is in the other movies, although it can vary scene to scene. I also really like the finish that the white color on your unit has, it gives that painted metal/porcelain look that not many units seem to have. Did you post about it in the R2 Builders club? I think I saw your post on there about the little wave he does, haha! Awesome stuff!
What silver paint did you used on the dome? I like that is not too shiny and not too matte.. just right! Just started with mine, printing the dome at the moment
Absolutely amazing!!!!! i never realized i needed a radio controlled R2D2, until i seen this!!! i need the plans! lol
you should design him with a tray on top (like when he is serving drinks for jabba the hutt) ;) that way he can bring you your beer
Well done great job. Brilliant
Love this R2D2

Used rustoleum metallic..with no clear. A year in and it has a realistic looking wear to it
i love your droid, what type of controller do you use?
Where can we get the plans?
How much would it cost for you to give me an r2 d2?
What blue paint is this?
Did you design it or more importantly where did you get the STLs?
