Deagostini R2 D2 Build

After 2 years of building its finally finished everything working perfect after a clinch with the projector which was fixed by pressing down on the cable plugs to make a better connection !

[@hpotter29]

We're waiting for our last shipment and it's hard not to be crazy impatient at this point. Very cool to see a finished one working! It is a journey.

This is the droid We’re looking for

I am glad to find this channel, it gives me wholesome vibes

[@davebuildsandbeyond]

Excellent, glad to see another one working 👍🏻 been a great build

[@kevinb897]

Yes been a long build but worth it , glad to see your R2 working fine, though R2 doesn't cope well on carpets !

[@victorgonzales9138]

Congratulations!!! I have one too! And it works perfectly!! Greetings from Mexico!!

[@josephrose7838]

Great job on the build, I'm just starting to build my own on Thursday. Just a heads up... it seems as though you have the shoulders swapped, long silver in the back and 2 silver dots are supposed to be in the front.

[@kevinb897]

I can assure you this is the correct way round on this model !

[@josephrose7838]

@@kevinb897 I was watching some of the episodes last night and they're different in each episode. 1 & 3 have them your way and 2 & 4 have them the other, I was too tired to look at the rest... Great job though, enjoy!

[@jasonsimpkin8621]

Brilliant

[@MusicFurler]

Just sat down with my Artoo to go though voice commands it was like talking to a kid. Anyway, it's good to see more like droids that are working well. It would be good to get a few together for a meeting or something.

[@zacharybecker9635]

How much and how long did this cute little robot take you to build?

[@zacharybecker9635]

I mean for America

[@kevinb897]

Two years as i got the parts on monthly prosription and cost about £890 hear in the uk !

[@kevinb897]

You can now buy the full kit from Deagostini, Modelspace ! Instead of a monthly subscription !

[@obiwan23able]

I'm a big star wars fan too.

[@ChrisCreats]

It was a great two years it would of been more enjoyable if Deagostini labelled the screws it would of been much easier

[@kevinb897]

I used a vernier to measure the screws which made it a bit easier!

[@MusicFurler]

I never experienced any problem with screw sizes, I just organized them as I got them but they could have labeled the bags and the screw box for ease of sorting. I have kept all the spare screws from the build too.

[@michaelhallett4110]

And you paid how much???

[@piotrpix]

How much did all of the parts cost cost?

[@kevinb897]

You can buy the full kit from Deagostini for around £800 or subscribe on a monthly basis!

[@idroness]

how much did it cost you???🤭

[@karlwright7531]

My r2d2 won't start up even thow got right batteries

[@kevinb897]

Check all connections first, when everything was complete and ready to start up for the first time did you plug in the charger for a few seconds then disconnect charger ? If you didn't then it won't work !

[@neonlightking8399]

I started yesterday to build the r2d2

[@kevinb897]

Good luck ! my best build !

[@neonlightking8399]

Thank you. Can r2d2 understand something if I speak: r2d2 come to me??? Watching a star wars movie and the r2d2 by my side will be special. I am excited how he reacts, when he hear the real one make sounds in the movie. Star wars is very special to my

[@neonlightking8399]

It takes over 2 years until I get him Finished to bring him to life:-(

[@neonlightking8399]

Is it difficult to build this r2d2 or is it easy to build

[@kevinb897]

@@neonlightking8399 its ok to build but when it comes to the wiring you have to check connections are definitely in the right sockets on the circuit boards as there is a lot of wire's to fit in a small space ! R2d2 works on its own or remotely with an app on your phone !

[@denodan]

The Sphero R2D2 accually does more at a fraction of the price. Disappointed in this. A lot of money for not that much function. But saying that this looks nice all the same.

[@mannyoria291]

Sphero is plastic and its also very small compared to this one.There is no comparison between the 2 . You are paying more because of the build quality and size. if you want a small rc r2 the sphero is great. You want a larger better looking , better parts, and not spend 15 grand making a full size one this is it
