R2 will be making his debut this Saturday at the Walk for Wishes at the St Claire Square Mall...he hopes to see you all there

Say hello to my little friend...


Finished for now...

You know, one of those fold out arms could very easily be made to work. 8) And if you... oh lets say... put a cattle prod or something like that on there... :twisted: well, no one will be robbing you anytime soon. : :angry2: My only concern is astromechs have been know to have quite the libido...I'...

Man that looks awesome!!! Great job makes me want to go back and put more work in my clone.

Cheers to you all! Keep on trooping on.

Hello all wanted to stop by and let you all know I'm lurking about. I've been spending some quality time with my family after my long absence over the summer. I'm not sure when I'll troop next but I will keep my eye out for events.
