Aluminum skirt

i never was very happy with the styrene or whatever plastic version of the skirt i got on astromech.net. maybe i will use it later for another low budget version like my r2-t4.

so my plan was to build one in ali!
ok, heavier than the styrene version, but it cannot crack so fast, there is almost no aging process and it´s looking more original!

i had a long talk with my preferred metal shop buddy to tell him my wishes in the construction and to get the parts lasercut or waterjet cut from him.
and he did a great job again!! some parts are missing, they have to be cut in the next days.

but here are the first sheets for my skirt:
