Some Christmas Pictures And Other Stuff

Here are some pics of our Family and stuff, Crissy drilling her Dome Bearing holes Calvin and Keith working on Keith's Droid, R2,R3,and the rest of our family at Christmas.

Laser Cut Styrene Dome

Here is my Laser cut Styrene Dome, I thought I took a picture of the before I popped out the panels but I didn't so I have the after pictures. I started on this 3 weeks after my Surgery, after I popped the pieces out I sanded all the pieces and the Dome. The Dome is awesome but, The laser cutter got off on some of the panels, so I will have to sand more and make up for the difference. I only need to do a little sanding on the inner to get it to fit together properly and the I will start putting the pits in it to smooth it out, More to come.

Glueing On Skins

Here is my Inner and Outer skins being prepped to glue I was scared at first glueing the skins, because it is so easy to melt. I taped my skins on R3 but since I am building Dave's way I had to glue them. And to my surprise I did good I haven't melted anything yet ;o ) it is turning out good, but I'm not finished yet. I will post more when I finish glueing all of it.

Frame Glued

Well I am finally gonna posts some of my progress, I started my Frame the week of Christmas and finished it Saturday. It was pretty easy doing it the Dave Everett way ;o )....

I did get one of my pieces crooked and then had to cut it back out and redo, but now it's finished.

Cutting R2-Q5's Skins

I am starting on R2, I got my inner front Skins cut today, I am shareing the Table with Crissy and Calvin. So we take turns cutting which will take a little longer to build. Our 4x8 Sheets of polystyrene for the Frames will be in this week hopefully, it is coming in from Tennessee since my local supplier is out. More to come.

Starting R2-Q5

R2-Q5 was an R2-series Astromech Droid . R2-Q5 had black coverings highlighted by copper access panels. R2-Q5 was a well-equipped droid, with tools for repairing starships and special, hidden spy devices. He was also one of the few beings aware of IG-88A's infiltration of the Death Star.
During the latter stages of the Galatic Civil War, R2-Q5 was assigned to the second Death Star above the Moon Of Endor. When a Rebel attack destroyed corridors in the second Death Star, an R4 droid carrying a vital message was immobilized. R2-Q5 had to download the data from the downed droid and deliver it to the Emperer. He was destroyed in the explosion of the second Death Star.
Next week I will be ordering my Styrene for the Frame and Skins, and will be starting a new adventure ;o )
