Just got my periscope kit today from Scot, a fellow R2 builder.

Needs cleaning, bending, gluing etc, but shouldn’t take too long to assemble.

Here’s what it should look like when I’m done –

I scored some front logic electronics from Jason and Ben. I’m really please I was able to get one of these kits. Ryan had a set on his dome at the last prop party and I was suitable impressed.

Here’s a small movie by Jason on what they look like running.

Okay, I was going to go back and retro-actively add events and decisions that had happened before I really got the blog of the ground – but decided it probably isn’t worth it.

As it stand I’ve made a lot of progress in finding parts, but still need some major things like legs, body and the skins. Word is that Jerry will be doing another run of legs sometime next year and someone else has stepped up and will do a variant of the JAG frame. I’m on the list for some skins, so I’m happy and will most likely not use the second hand A&A Frame I picked up in November.

Here’s a rundown on the parts I have in hand and if you check my Parts page you’ll see what I’ve got on order or missing.
