Astromech Variations R5
This is an alternate dome for making R5-D4, created in 2010.
r5 56 r5-d4
The kit includes:
- The dome shell (hollow cast to allow for electronics
- The neckring (has an 18" O.D.)
- 3 eye sensors (resin cast)
- 3 pistons (2 side pistons, one rear)
- antenna (resin casting)
- detail greeblies
- enough holographic tape to cover all the neck windows.
I have a tutorial for this project posted HERE
And here's an add-on kit for creating an R6-series droid.
The add-on kit includes:
- Main eye piece
- eye lens
- 2 holographic emitters
- bottom lens plate
- bottom lens material
- logic box frames (2)
- logic box insets (2)
- logic box transparencies (2)
- The 3 dome pistons
You'll need to make some mods on the standard dome (filling in the antenna hole, converting the neckring, etc..)
This is a fun little guy I created in 2003. I call him STUBBY.
If you'd like me to make you one, just contact me.
