Leg Work... again... again... again... again... again... DONE!

Finally I've repaired and finished my legs. Now I just need to install the resin detail pieces. That will probably happen tomorrow!

Here's my Legs!



Oh, and I got a few more resin pieces in the mail today. Side vents, pocket vents and oct. ports.

R2 Speaks!

I spent last night wiring the wireless 12 channel RF remote to the Think Geek T-Shirt sound system. Sounds great! I thought it wouldn't me loud enough but it seems like it will be just fine. I can hear it clear on the other side of my house! Now I just need to install the electronics and get things going!

Logics Have Lights (Front Logics Anyway)

I spent the afternoon installing the LEDs onto the front PCBs. Everything went in smooth. So much easier than what I had started a few months ago. I decided to use the flat top LEDs thinking it would make the entire bezel area look smooth. Here's a pic of the front logics ready to go.
The tape is so I know which is the top logic and which is the bottom.

Part, Parts, and More Parts

The last few days have brought in lots of goodies!

A pair of utility arms and a set of holoprojectors that I purchased off of another builder.


My dome motor, the popular Pitman motor. Also, the SyRen 10 for to run the motor


I have a few more resin parts that have come in, while I'm still waiting on a few more.
The ones I have are the ankle cylinders, the cylinder holders, front vents, coin slots, power couplings, and the large data port.


I have also received my resin booster covers, but they seem "off."

I've also decided to jump on the Teese bandwagon and picked up an Arduino Uno and a set of the PCBs. I even got a set of the bezels!

Dome Work

I've gotten a little work done on my dome. Not much, but some. I ended up having to cut my inner dome to get it to fit. I'm not sure if I am doing this backwards or not, but I have attached the top portion of the inner dome before cutting openings for the holos and hopefully (in the distant future) a life form scanner and periscope.
