Mike’s been busy these last few weeks (September 2022) building a static two legged Astromech for an upcoming display.
He re-purposed one of his R2 domes for this project, used foot shells he hadn’t used, then made up a frame, legs, battery boxes out of wood. 3D printed details and then assembled everything together.
Once painted it was time to REALLY weather him. He asked me if I could make some lights up, nothing perfect, just something to blink as this droid needs ‘fixing’.
So I 3D printed off some of my own FLD (holed) units and got to soldering up some LED’s.

| Not bad soldering |
First set I only added two flashing LED’s as was all I had to hand. Ordered some more and these will go into this and the second set.
Mike asked me to make up another motor shaft adaptor for his dome motor cog. This I machined out of Brass.
