Dave's r2d2 styrene build: Oops!
http://amshel-r2d2.blogspot.com/2010/08/oops.html
Dave's r2d2 styrene build. Saturday, August 14, 2010. I found myself making more progress backwards than forewards tonight. I was trying to make a keyhole slot in the back of my horseshoes to mount them onto the leg. I laid it all out nice and neat. Started to router in the keyhole and BAM! The router started to melt the plastic and made a wad that siezed up in the hole. And proceded to run itself across the horseshoe! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The list Main feet, started center foot, center ankle, and have my rockler. The battery is right up against the back of the tabs,so it shouldn't shift side-to-side. Then I had to add a tab along the width of the cover. And two smaller tabs where the other two on the box where before. Install battery and Viola! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dave's r2d2 styrene build: June 2010
http://amshel-r2d2.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Dave's r2d2 styrene build. Friday, June 11, 2010. Thought i'd drop in the detail pieces. just to see how it'll look. Got the screws mounted in the shoulders today. Was able to use the drillpress at work to drill the holes. Then started mounting the screws. I used Nylock nuts on the inside, on one side. This way i was sure they wouldn't loosen on me later. then added the other nut on inside. It was a pain trying to get a wrench into the inner ones to tighten them up. Then they got skinned. The skirt has b...

Dave's r2d2 styrene build. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Feet, Battery boxes. Ok Been a while since my last update. Have been working a lot. started on R5's feet. These aren't like regular r2 feet.

Also started on the battery boxes. They each will hold 1 7amp/hr. 12 volt battery. Plenty of power for him! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dave's r2d2 styrene build. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Finish skins, Test paint,. Have all of R2's skins cut out. Still need to finish the panels on both outer skins. The small marks on the sides of the cut-outs are numbers, I still have the template on. Will draw a picture and number them the same, which will match the cut-outs' numbers. That way I'll know which pieces goes back where. Sanded the primer off the coin slots. It would almost rub off! Oooppps second one blurry. sorry. Sunday, May 23, 2010. I eit...
