Still Waiting/ Update

Still just waiting for parts. This is the dome bump controller that I will be ordering. It will allow for sneaky on and off functions of R2.

The good news is that Crash will be releasing his frame way earlier so I will be getting that before Feb 2013. He says that it will be Sept 15th which is great with me. My Teeces kit is almost done too.  I still need to finish the Front Logics but they're close.

The Aluminium Bug

Well my plans of doing a composite and resin droid have changed. I have been bitten by the aluminium bug. It now appears that the majority of the structure will be composite but all of the detail pieces in the end will be aluminium. This has changed what the overall cost will be but in the end it will look great. The only issue I can foresee with this is getting the fiberglass dome to look the same as the aluminium pieces.

Small Update

It's almost time for Crash to make my fiberglass parts. As I have been waiting, I have ordered a bunch of different things. I have an aluminium radar eye, aluminium center vents and internals, and rubber psi housings all on order. They are all amazing but I'm just waiting. I have an aluminium restraining bolt that should be here soon too. None of the major parts are here but the fiberglass parts lists are so long.  It will all be worth it once they get done.
