Small Update

Just a quick update. Last night I painted the battery connector areas metallic and attached the moons on the center foot. The one side is attached with magnets so it will just pop off when I need access to the bolt holding the foot on.

The moons are a bit high, but thats how I had to do it to get access to that bolt.

You and my Wife are KILIING ME!!!!
Both of you will be finished before I get my R2 done.
I almost had a Droidreka Destroyer like your BattleDroid. But the price went to 255.00 and that was alittle too much for me. I went up to 190.00 and had to drop out.
WAAAAAAWAAAAAAWAAAAA!!!!!
He was brand new in the box.
WAAAAAWAAAAAWAAA!!!!!!:(
Maybe next time.

For the next part I have to take R2 apart again. I'm going to flie the ankles down and add those cutting board spacers. Once that's done I need to add my second shoulder piece and fix up the cracks in the feet that happened when I mounted them. Painstaking!

$255 for droideka!? holy crap! I ALMOST got one for about $35, but decided it was too big for my space.

I'll show u a thread where I saw somneone who built the battle droid. He got it for CHEAP!!! Another guy I saw got one for $39 shipped...

I wish you luck man...keep at it!
