After working with the minions and because of a cross subject between them and Star Wars, I decided to start a new thread regarding the built of astromech droids from Star Wars.
Forum Admins, I am not sure if it is OK to post this thread under this category, so if it is not adequate, please, feel free to move it to where it belongs.
I will built this droids on a size that will allow me to display them aside action figures or as collectors refers to them, 3.5 inches scale.
Obviously I will star with the most famous astromech, the one that have been a constant on the previous six movies, and seems also in the seventh one coming on Dec.
I mean R2D2, for those who haven’t noticed or have not seen movies of this franchise.
I decided to look around for paper models that I can use as base and scale down to a workable version.
I found that two of them were really nice, and decided to build one of each to see which one adapts better.
Here is a picture of the mock ups
And another one standing along TO one of the aforementioned figures.
I settled on using the version from the site of Shunichi Makino SF Papercraft Gallery
BUT since this is an Astromech droid factory, I decided to also start the R5-D2 unit since all this little puckers are built almost the same. This unit is the red one they show on the first movie were Luke is buying the droids from the original Minions.. err… jawas and it blew up while starting to move.
BTW have you noticed these little fellows speak a language that sounds just like minions..:rolleyes: If you don't believe it go here and listen to them.
I reduced to 50% and distributed all the parts for the two droids in one single sheet ,and even ended with some blank space… talk about saving resources.;)
I want to improve the figures by adding some metallic look, so I cut out some printed parts and glued a different paper from the back in order to make it look like some kind of metallic inlay.
It does not show too well on this picture but believe me, it look nice in person. I will try to get better pictures in the future, to show this effect.
Well that’s all for today, tomorrow I will post some advances on the head of one of the droids.
