R7-k8

[astromech_kuhns]

i know i have been gone for a while but that is all do to the little droid in my garage!

countless times ill look and say "hey now that i have money i should buy my saber" and then i go "wow! yeah i should by this part/materials/paint/tools for my droid!"

gets me every time.

but im here to show you all the reason why i have not been here and still dont have a lightsaber!(it really just has not been my highest priority!)

like i said when i first came here i am building a droid! and his name is R7-K8. im not going to use this thread to post all my updates but when i do get some decent amount of progress i will drop a pic or two by here of my parts and droid up to that point, so without further ado, i present,

R7-K8

Nice, is it going to be rc powered or static? If I every get onto my astromech I'll post pics.

Cool beans! I'm sure you already know this, but there are actual forums dedicated to star wars droid building (usually the R2 type, but I've seen a few other designs as well).

[Jedi-Loreen]

He knows about the droid building forums.

And he also said in the Shoutbox, when I asked him the same question, that it's going to be RC, not static.

[astromech_kuhns]

yep full on R/C droid! i already have some of the little electronics but nothing big yet.....

and yes i am apart of the R2 builders club. i have been a member on here for a while now and have planned to build a saber just have not got to it yet due to this droid. just figured id show you guys the updates here! (besides where do you think i got such big PVC, the periscope, templates for the body and dome?)

sairon, it is very worth it to build a droid and i am loving it! there is lots of help on the forums!

Good work so far, though i've always been a fan of the R3 series, R7's just look abit sinister if you ask me...

Do keep us updated on this dude!!!

[astromech_kuhns]

yeah i know what you mean, the they do look a little like they work for the empire. the droids colors will be black and yellow.

[strengthofrage]

That is really cool!!! It looks like that is a lot of fun, has to be pretty difficult as well I would think. Keep us posted as you progress

EDIT: It took about 4 seconds for me to say ..."man, I wanna build a droid too"

[cardcollector]

Very Cool!

After you finish the droid you should build a saber to match!

Nice work can't wait for more updates.
