My take on R2D2 with TCSS parts

[ViperR]

Hey all,
Decided to pay homage to our little droid who's been a trooper through episodes 4-9 movies. All parts are via TCSS.
Main body is powder coated white & blue, Graflex glass eye offset, upper chrome AV is blue LED, lower AV is black with white LED, Blade has 6 feet of wrap, Tri-Cree BBW two Royal Blue with one white for clashes, Emitter & pommel are as droid shaped as I could find, GHv3 card with a random mechanical sound fonts to it, a couple of dozen force fonts that range from all the movies: R2 whistles & screams, C3PO, Luke, Leia, Obi, Hans, Guido, Jawas, Tuskens, Wampas, Chewey, Jabba, speeder bikes and even the Wilhelm scream, and many more.
Was a fun build and I like it.

Looks great!

Very nice. But Artoo was a hero in the prequels too.

Nicely done!

[CAD Wizard]

Very nice. I thought powder coating was only solid color these days. Was it a special order?

TCSS did the Wet White and I had a neighbor do the blue for free because I changed the starter motor on his wife's car. He also did narrow the top white and bottom black strip on the blade holder.

Yep, you're correct.

Great build!
Note taken: add Wilhelm scream to all my builds

[ViperR]

I have the scream in two of my builds. The regular scream in R2 and a modified one that has a blaster shot followed by the scream and then a body hitting the ground in my Rey's blaster build. Most of the sound bytes were in mp3 format, but easily converted to WAV.
I'm in the process of converting R2 to neopixel as all my others that have LED's. I'll have around four LED assemblies and complete blades I'm going to sell here soon.

Looks cool though, he'd be proud =]
