Coming Soon: Building R2-D2 v2.0

As time progress, my R2 has seen a lot of action, and as such, he is in major need of spare parts.

Rather than just changing out the parts that needs to be rebuilt, I’ve come to a drastic decision: Time to rebuild. Time to fix the small things that I wish I had done while building him in the first place. Time to build R2-D2 v2.0!

And thats not all! While doing so, I will be doing a video blog about the ENTIRE build, so you can build along with me… just pop off to astromech.net (the official R2-D2 Builders club website, and register (it’s free) and you TOO can be an R2 Builder!

Buy a lightsaber and help me in my progress

Hi all!

I am working hard on BB-8 upgrades, so hard that I’ve in fact been negligent to update this blog for the past few weeks.

Things have really been crazy in the past few weeks, and I’ve taken loads of pictures along the way, so updates will be brought here shortly.

Oh! Here’s a nice little picture to give you an idea of where I’m at..

Last step of BB-8 remains: To get him rolling. In order to do this, I need to get a little more funding.

So, as a step in this, I am hereby selling my Master Replicas Darth Vader Episode IV light saber, still SEALED in its box!

That’s right!

This lightsaber, hailing from 2007, has NEVER been opened!

It’s currently on ebay, please help me and spread the good word out!

Upcoming weekend we’ll be attending an opening of a big mall, and in the process, gathering a huge donation of toys, that in turn will be donated to a children’s hospital! For those in the Stockholm area, have a lookout in “Mall of Scandinavia” during the weekend.. 😉

R2 gets a mini-me!

During the sci-fi convention in September, I visited the booth where they do a full body 3D scan of you, then print it out on a laser sintering 3D printer with basically same capabilities as an Inkjet printer.

This means, that you do not only get a 3D model of whatever you scanned, but it is also printed out in colour!

About a week ago, I got the results.

So: without further ado: Have a look at my 3D printed clone of my very own R2-D2:
