Well, while still waiting for the delivery of some "real" R2 parts I decided to tackle the side feet. I can only say WOW. I have done many things in my life, from spending 4 years in the USAF, moving to another country and learning to speak fluent swedish. But these feet were a challange. The basic shape wasn't to difficult, but man the curve for the feet where the battery box sits was a killer. I must have had to re-cut and re-shape that part about a dozen times. The drawings are nice and "correct" but for some reason it just didn't add up, lol. Any hoot it took me half of friday and all day saturday to get them right. Because silly me wanted to make 2 R2's at the same time you can imagine the time involved. I like the result so all thats left is sanding and filling, while the painting part will come much later. I may begin work on the battery box later on tonight. Anyway I hope the picture is entertaining...lol
