R2 FINALLY let me put him shoes (foot shells) on. Grey because Rico gave
them to me and his droid is black, I'll paint them soon. Big thanks to
Rico for letting have these, they were cracked and broken in places but I
fixed them up.
Still need to put on the center ankle one but that's easy. Waiting for
the glue to dry isn't . Now all I need to do is put the shoulder disks
back on with the pipes already attached and R2 will stand again after I
put the center ankle back in. Then its just a matter of dropping in the
nuts and bolts. Hot glued the small weak spots, works really well
actually. The frame is all ready to have resin parts put in, shouldn't
take more than an hour or so. Need to drill about 6 more holes for the
pipes and center ankle bracket bolts and R2 will be event ready. I got
some spray paint and will paint my resin parts before mounting them into
the frame. Then putting the skins on. I've done way more in a day than
that, this should take a few hours spread over 2-3 days at most. Also
the foot shells seem to have closed in the channel on the ankle so R2's
ankles don't wobble anymore. I had to remove and place Victor Franco's
ankle blocks a bit higher and to the side because the extra centimeter
made the legs not go down to the holes for the ankle bolts. R2 will be
95% complete (on details, no sound r/c or dome rotation) by Saturday!
