Tecees Done

I finally got my Tecees lighting and body lighting done. I am having some issue with the CuriousMarc Holo lights but I looking for that solution. Here's some pictures.

Maker Faire is this weekend followed by DroidCon II next weekend. There is a storm of pictures coming. 

Post MGD 2.0

So after some marathon cutting, sanding, filing, and grinding, this is the current state of R2.

His eye is not permanently mounted yet. I can't quite decide on what placement I like. There are quite a few different positions and I just don't know which I like best. The lower panels still need to be removed but he is getting so close to being painted. I'll need to fill some pin holes in the Carbon Fiber panels but overall it should be fairly quick and easy. 

MGD2.0 was awesome. I had a great day meeting some of the builders and dreaming of where my R2 will be one day. 

Here are some pictures from the gathering:

Pie Panel Removal

Finally I am able to update my build log. For once mother nature decided to give us Michiganders a 70 degree day.

So I was able to square all the holes for the the front and rear logics. I rounded all the holes for the holos and PSIs. Best of all, I started the move from a fixed panel dome to a movable panel dome, thanks to Crash's Carbon Fiber Panel Kit. I still need to do the lower panels but for the couple hours i spent, I made great progress. Sadly I wiped away Crash's signature when I was wiping the fiberglass off. Crash will have to sign the BFF for me before he sends it in a place that is more protected.
Here is what I got done.

Also our air compressor has been broken for quite some time and I was covered in fiberglass so we used the Redneck Air Compressor.... a leaf blower.

Build Update

Sorry it has been so long since the last update.

I was able to do some work yesterday and finished up my Teeces kit. I struggled a bit with getting the teeces working but I have a solution now.




I need to finish the CuriousMarc Holo boards that go with it also. It's been pretty cold in Michigan so it has been hard to get out to cut the dome and finish the cuts.

I got a Dremel Workstation and a BatteryTender for christmas. I wont really need either right away but they are good items to have.
