Thomas' R2D2: The UnDead
http://tomsr2.blogspot.com/2011/09/undead.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Wow, it has been along time since I had anything to post. I'm working on R2's new foot motor holders and his foot shells. These are the very old Kelly Krider foot shells, I have been putting off working. On them due to the fact that they needed so much work. Even the center area for the ankle to mount did not come with the foot. I now have the center ankle area installed and now I'm filing the channel to fit. All of this stuff I've had put away for a longtime.

Thomas' R2D2: July 2009
http://tomsr2.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Here's a preview of how the side panel will work in R2's dome. My camera really did not do the screen justice, It looks allot better than this video. I'm placing red in between each picture so I don't stray to far away from the red in the real R2. It will be a interesting addition to my R2. Now just to get it mounted :o). Yep, That's wahat I said :o). The group has been invited to Mini MegaCon in Orlando Florida. It's on August 22nd and 23rd. Sunday, July 19, 2009. The Motherboa...

Thomas' R2D2: Finally a Post
http://tomsr2.blogspot.com/2010/08/finally-post.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. I've been very busy these last few months and I'm waiting on parts now. I have many new ideas for R2 and as soon as the new scooter motors and the. Aluminum channel arrives, I will be rebuilding R2's foot motors. The A&A motor holders are OK for a light weight droid but since R2 is gaining. Weight I wanted something stronger. So, Stay tuned for the improvements. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Southern R2 Builders Group. A Place to call Home. Brenda's R3 - T7.

Thomas' R2D2: Side Work
http://tomsr2.blogspot.com/2011/01/side-work.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. I mounted the Side Vents on R2 and made the Flat Plate for the bottom of the skins. The Plates, I need to paint white and they are bolted from the bottom of the frame. The Vents are some I bought along time ago from Mark. They are not perfect and the only way I could mount them was to add small screws to each corner. Later I will countersink the screw holes and get some better screws. I also need to add screen behind each vent so you can't see inside. The life of thomas.

Thomas' R2D2: March 2011
http://tomsr2.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. I ordered this board today and if I can get the programming figured out, It will become R2's main brain. This board can control 32 servos and also has the ability to use sensors and a Ps2 controller. With this many servo ports, I should be able to get all the doors, panels and other goodies working. The nice thing is this board will allow me to remove the 12 channel remotes used for sound control and light functions. I'll post more when it arrives. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, February 25, 2010. It finally arrived and the quality is AWESOME! It's the Palpatine head I bought on Ebay for $50.00. There's a couple of guys selling these and one guy is always in the hundreds. It is a hollow cast, Which I was hoping it would be and it's well made. I will be buying more of these for future projects. Friday, February 19, 2010. I had a hard time trying to get a decent picture of this thing. It is on in both pictures and the camera really doesn't like the dark,. This one will n...

Thomas' R2D2: Frame Upgrades
http://tomsr2.blogspot.com/2011/01/frame-upgrades.html
Saturday, January 01, 2011. Ok, It's been quite awhile since I posted anything new, But I'm getting back to working on R2 again. I haven't felt like messing with R2 so it came to a stop. Anyway, Jag (Jerry Green) had sent me a present awhile back and I finally started installing it. The top plate is now aluminum. I did this to stop the dome from bouncing around and also to improve the strength of the A&A frame. I also plan to replace the 2nd to the bottom ring. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
