new legs in the works…

Well, now that my artoo has been doing events for almost a year now parts do ware out. Nothing has really worn out yet but because my artoo’s legs are my own scratch built design I’ve seen spots for improvement. So, the older legs will be installed on my new artoo R2-A1 because there are working fine as there are. However, my newer legs, which we can call legs 2.0, will follow the same basic building technique except for I will be including a compartment for booster rockets that pop out whien the booster covers slide down. Anyone who has scratch built these things knows its not easy and require a lot of thought because once you’ve begun gluing and covering it’s too late to go back and change. Anyway, here are a few pictures to give you an idea of how I’m going about it. And yes, I have already scratch built the booster rockets. Those pictures and how-to I will post a little later
