Just thought I'd post a little progress on R2D2's feet. Made these pieces from aluminum.

a few more details and it will be time to mount them

You made the half moons?
Man thats Awesome!!!!!
I don't see how you make things like that.
Still working on your Vex?
I'm working on the side panels on the dome, But not sucessful.
I've kinda been down alittle and just haven't been doing much lately.

Yeah..they were dead easy..just thin aluminum..bent around the round part and glued in place.

Just let me know what you need for little detail pieces like that and I will be happy to help if I can. Our plasma table isn't laser precise, but it works for me.

Played with Vew a bit yesterday. I ordered a bunch of batteries online so I'm waiting for those to arrive.

I know how you feel..I have lulls too..then I feel guilty. Trust me...the joy is in building so if you aren't into it..you probably need a break.

Man, You caught me off guard on the R2 site about those Half Moons.
I don't catch you on that site very much.
Those moons look GREAT!!!
Thats something I don't think I could make myself.
Hey, Hows C3PO coming?

My goal was to finish Fett by Christmas, then start Threepio..

I never got the last part I needed for Fett's blaster (I JUST ordered a new one)...then SOMEONE got me hell bent on getting my R2 finished up..

So Threepio has to wait. :p
