New display boards - Futaba & R4-D4 dome

Just one of the many little things I've been meaning to do

is create some display boards.

A brief discription about the Futaba transmitter,

the type used to control R5-D4 in the original scene,

seen below in this picture.

Next display board is for my R4 dome I made.

This has a brief discription about how I made it.

Documented with photo's from the build and a

QR scanable code for a link to the begining of the build.

Here's the QR code if not viewable on the above picture.

Hopefully this will help visitors to our table explain

how we build these domes in a bit more detail.

I'll be taking both of these along

to the Birmingham NEC this weekend,

for MCM Comic Con.

More R5-D4 stickers

Ordered a new batch of R5-D4 stickers from 'The Sticker App' website.

Stickers are available via my Etsy page

Hopefully these should arrive before this weekends

MCM Comic Con event in Birmingham.

Droid Depot in DISNEYLAND’S: GALAXY’S EDGE

Whilst reading this news artical the other day, and scrolling to the end,

look who get's 'displayed' in the Droid Depot image.....an R5 unit with a BB-8 unit.

R5's are not been shown much as being one of the droids you can buy, so here's hoping he's actually available.
