Question

i have seen on astromech.net, that on an original epsiode 4 picture, r2-d2 is standing with alex guiness in the desert. on this pic you can see, that the ankle details are way more flat, than they are on the club spec pictures and blueprints... what do you think?

here an ankle detail made to club spec:

and by the way; do you see the missing octagon port and the connectors in front of the battery box?

Good kept secret...

it won´t take long anymore...

no, not the premiere of episode 8 of star wars, it´s the arrival of parts for a new project.

but until the parts won´t be here, i will not show you anything about them.

estimated arrival of the parts shall be today, but i am not that sure...
gonna have to check the tracking number again...
