Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

Best Star Wars dios are from flying dutchman!!! RESPECT !!!

Those are incredible backdrops FD.

It could be rationalized this way:

1. Eliminate Star Wars figures in all other scales (not hard, I don't have much).
2. Have only one element from each OT film.

As such, it would satisfy my requirements of minimalism with only three sets. I could do it with 4-5 items. Not bad for a property known for taking over people's homes and bank accounts.

I would display R2 with one or two sandtroopers. Good visual summary of ANH.

Of course, that would mean I'd have to either kit-bash* sandtroopers (again) or wait for a HT sandtrooper release.

I've heard that it is the way of things. The way of one-sixth.

Did you mod yours, Dutchman?

*If I had to do it all over again, I'd do full repaints instead of just weathering.

No mod....straight outta the box....

So much awesomeness! Those dioramas are amazing.

Pretty cool. Although the blue is just a tad too dark for my taste.

Looks great, but that would have been a huge amount of work. Sheen on dome looks very metal.

Honestly, I think the original one on the left looks better. The repainted version looks very.. painted. Hats off to him for doing that amount of work though. The silver on the dome is nice. Not really more accurate than stock though, somewhere in between would be nice.

 

[jedijim3002]

It looks like he also sanded the seams on the dome. Very nice work. A good cleaned up R2 is always cool. I like mine dirty. At least that's what she said. LOL

 

[Pixelpiper]

How dirty do you like it? Some like it absolutely filthy, both gritty and slimy, smelling a little musty.

 

[davejames]

If I had the money to spare, I'd love to buy a second R2 just to make it look like that.

Looks very nice, intially I thought the one on the right was the Hasbro one.

 

[Darth Mangler]

Good repaint. I don't mind mine though. space is dirty.

The stock R2 on the left's blue parts are much lighter in this pic than they are in hand, so the repaint blue must be almost black in hand. I do really like the look of the repaint as it appears in the pic though. In the pic, it looks very screen accurate.

 

[davejames]

Even for a "clean" R2, I still think it needs a touch of weathering though. If only in the cracks around the doors.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Some more pics for your pleasure.......


ps. R2's third leg not fully extracted....

this one and Hoth ones... speechless!

I love the repaint. Has the dome been smoothed? the seams?

 

[james the cat]

I've got 3 r2d2's
muddy,slightly weathered and a clean r2d2
I must admit the clean one just doesn't look right

 

[earthdog]

That muddy one looks fantastic! You got guts kid!
