That is the link to my blog. Here goes nothing!

Super cool! Right after empire strikes back my uncle built a full size x-wing fighter, it had functioning lights/gauges, but unfortunately didn't fly ...

where would you park that thing? I think it was originally built as a parade float, but ended up in his backyard as playground equipment for my cousins. I'll have to see if i have any pictures of it. It is no where near as detailed as your r2, but to a 5 year old in 1980 it was amazing!

This is great. How is it going? I'm fixing to build Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000, but not to scale.

It's going good. Ive been working on the body detail and it can be tedious. My friend just finished his Crow. I think he has a tom servo already.

Great, man. I'm glad it's going well. And I bet it can be tedious. If it were easy, everybody would have a badass R2D2 they built themselves haha. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future updates!
And that's awesome about your friend building a Tom Servo AND Crow. I am doing it in the same sequence. Servo, then Crow.
