Alternative ‘colour’ booster covers 2022

Start date: January 2022

This has been another project I’ve been thinking of doing since the Mandalorian session two came out.

Droids are few and far between, but two have been quite prominent, R5-D4 & also NO-AH, first seen in the Jawa’s Sandcrawler. The colour scheme is very unique and I wanted to create this version myself. The dome itself was first seen/used on an A-LT droid for the Solo film. See promo pic below:

The domes are the same size as R2 dome so obviously are able to fit on an Astromech’s body.

A fellow droid builder has offered his large 3D printer to produce a dome when i require it.

Roll on into 2022 & I finally got round to making a start. First bit of research was the release of the Disney Droid Factory toy pack, and Wookieepedia, which gave us his name as ‘N0-AH’.

So I loaded up my 3D drawn boosters that I had previously printed and fit R5’s legs, and printed of the first one whole on my works printer overnight.

Next up was applying wood filler…..and free time.
