ACPin Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 The public demand for the most popular astromech droid has increased and one of the factories try to keep pace with the fully automated assembly line manned by worker droids.

purpleparadox Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Looks (as usual) like it's gonna be awesome! The flex tubing you used is really great. I can't wait for more! Quote
JopieK Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Very nice indeed! It just really gives one the look and feel of a robotics workshop. Quote

Sebeus I Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Very nice so far, I can really image how they move around in the factory, better get working on my own entry now Quote
Darth Yogi Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Looking great This is actually the same idea as I had for an astromech factory but I'm sure yours will be truly amazing compared to mine Can't wait to see it finished! Quote

MaceWindu Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Very great(like always)! But I thought, that there could be only one astromech minifigure... Quote

JackJonespaw Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 This is great-looking so far, and I know that you'll pull it off fantastically when it's done! I love seeing how you've done some piece usage - it's great inspiration! Quote

I love seeing how you've done some piece usage - it's great inspiration! Will probably finish the whole structure this weekend and then all remaining details/posing next week. Sometimes it's the simplest designs that work. How are you doing with your entry? AC Quote

Admiral-Ackbar Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 You sir, have won yourself a UCS R2-D2. Enjoy it Seriously, this is just outstanding! This must have taken ages to build and lots of pieces too! Good luck to you in the competition! Quote
Sebeus I Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Very nice, I love the production line, the plan comes together, I wish you the best of luck, my entry is almost finished but seing this I might just take a little more time On 7/6/2012 at 10:20 PM, grahamm5001 said: You sir, have won yourself a UCS R2-D2.

Great, great job! It could've easily been bigger but kept it to the large baseplate with a stud or so overhang in a few places. If only I could've lighted up the bottom part, then the details inside would've been shown. On 7/6/2012 at 10:20 PM, grahamm5001 said: You sir, have won yourself a UCS R2-D2.

Not so fast and nothing is guarranteed, I'm hoping like everybody else to be able to place.
