Frame

The frame I bought from Andy Schwartz, and is the styrene A&A frame. A&A stands for Andy and Alex ( Kung ). They offer all kind of parts to the club. It comes with a complete PDF tutorial, so it is quite simple to assemble.

Here you see the assembled frame with the front inner skin on ( test-fit ).

To strengthen the frame a bit I put M6 threaded rods on several places through the frame. Be sure to countersink the holes as pointed out in the tutorial!

Intro

Well, it all started in januari 2006. I was reading "KIJK" magazine, which covers all new scientific stuff. They mentionend the R2Buildersclub, where people actually build R2D2's, exchange idea's, parts, photo's, etc about the little Starwars Droid. I immediately was interested and started gathering info, drawings, parts etc.

I will handle the different parts seperately, and hope I remember what I've done, since it's already a 2 year activity!
