[LiLmeFromDaFuture]

Ah, alright, I see it now!

Keep up the great work!

Received the parts for the head:

Last shipment for the torso parts will be delivered this week.

Looking good so far! Can't wait to see the body.

[Junior Shark]

I wasn't convinced when you posted the first WIP photo, but seeing it in physical bricks on R2 has got me excited for where this project is going.

I wasn't convinced when

I am still not convinced.

And I fail to understand how you tackle your project.

I googled C1-10P for pics. I got this : http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/e5/Chopper2-Fathead.png/revision/latest?cb=20150310040946

With that single pic, I got a few informations :

- the body is a cylinder, so the head is round. Why the base of your head is a square with round corners ? Oo

- you probably should have made the head a bit smaller, and the eyes much smaller.

- except the colors, the legs have a similar look to R2-D2's legs. If you had designed the model in the same size as 10225, you could have use 10225 design on your model.

Thanks for all your comments.

@TheNerdyOne_ I hope to build the torso tomorrow but knowing the delivery times of Bricks and Pieces it will be Thursday at the earliest.

@Anio as you can see on the first page I tried a couple of iterations of the head already but if you have a better way to make a round cylinder please share and I will alter the design. As for the eyes I am actually starting to like the more cartoony style it gives chopper as it is a animated character. Smaller would look like this:

I plan on using a somewhat same design on the legs as 10225 except make them shorter as the are compared to r2's.

Hey, instead of using trans-light blue 2 x 2 dishes for the eyes you could alternatively use or

cute :)

I love it.

Though in the show I usually find Chopper annoying in most cases, you did a phenomenal job recreating him in Lego on scale with R2-D2—fantastic work!

[Fuppylodders]

Definitely cute!

I'd be proud to have him stood next to my R2-D2

[LiLmeFromDaFuture]

You should have instructions made and then sell them, as it is a fantastic model!

Does the wheel retract or fold back into the body?

[Meatcan]

Thanks guys for all your nice comments.

The wheel retracts and you can roll around chopper backwards and forwards.

Definitely cute!

I don't know how R2 feels about that

Thinking about it, I did not know wheels and tires exist in the galaxy far far away!

[Lord Tyrus]

This turned out really good!

Well it was either his jet engine or his wheel (he has both in the series). A working wheel is a lot more fun then a not working jet engine, in my opinion. But you are right about wheels being rare in Star Wars.

I just wanted to thank everyone again for your help and comments on my first MOC, and I wanted to tell you that I have uploaded my idea to the LEGO Ideas website. If you would like to see this project become an official set support me here:

I love it. But it wont happen

[karmajay]

Looks great! I'd be interested in building it!

[sokewl]

Any instructions or lxf files available? ;)

[scoiltreasa]

I'd also like to build this!

Here is a link for the LXF file. I would love to see pictures if you make one!
