This is the bottom section of Frame. It's based off Jerry's metal frame.

Complete wood frame. I used 1/2" dowels and 3/4" thick plywood.

R2D2Progress0003

A top view of the frame. Most every thing was just bolted together with standard wood screws. Attempting to stay within the SW universe, single slotted bolts were used.

R2D2Progress0004

Bottom view of the Fram. This is where the vacuum formed skirt will be attached.

R2D2Progress0005

Front view of the body with the laser etched aluminum skins. It was easier to work with out the skirt section attached, so it was temporarily removed.

R2D2Progress0006

Back view of the body with John's skins. The skins were attached with just 4 wood screws. This helped to judge where all the different components needed to go before securing the skins completely.

R2D2Progress0007

Top view of the body with aluminum skins. This is where most all the electronics will go.

R2D2Progress0008

R2D2Progress0008

Work had just begin on the R5D4 dome for C3, so this was just a test "fitting". Also notice that panels have been removed and the skins cleaned up.

R2D2Progress0009

R2D2Progress0009

The legs with feet were attached with carriage bolts. Since the electronics would have to be installed after C3, the 2 legged pose was necessary.
