Check the other active thread! I'm actually going to start less complicated and attempt a P-51 Mustang to see how the cans react. If the properties are not altered in anyway, then the possibilities are wide open

Thank You gentlemen! Well Time to get back to the grind after letting this one soak in for a bit! I've got to test the theory of cans sans logos and paint!

Its officially on Newsstands now. Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 180, page 73 features Life Size Soda Can R2D2!

LOL! ;)

LOL! Even if it does make it in there, I'll still be a humble, crazy old man who loves to play with cans! :)

Thanks Rhaven! Now things are getting even more interesting. There seems to be some interest coming from the powers that be within the Star Wars Universe. I have been conversing with a contributing writer over at Star Wars Insider Magazine and it appears an article there may be on the horizon...

Supposedly the March 2018 issue is available at least to subscribers. If anyone has seen the Scale Talk section of this issue, Soda Can Model R2 is most definitely featured in the Scale Talk section:

Thanks! I'm told it should be appearing in the Scale Talk section in either the March or April issue according to an editor at Fine Scale Modeler...

I know huh! And right now with The Last Jedi out too! :fight: oh well, ce'st la vie...

Thanks guys! I am proud and especially honored that Soda Can R2D2 will be included in FSM. It is a testament to a process of building true to the art and not using an under structure like some of the new-fangled builders that are slowly entering the medium right now. To me, this takes away from...

I am hearing from the powers that be that Soda Can R2D2 will be making an appearance in an issue of Fine Scale Modeler in early 2018...:)

Thanks! He has a personality befitting of this series of droids. Mounted under his dome is an MP3 player with speakers and on occasion, the wireless remote gets mistakenly activated resulting in R2 seemingly coming to life at the most inopportune times. Here I have a humorous exchange with the...

I think I had one like that years ago, but the wife got jealous! :rolllaughing: Got to make it seem like I think about something other than just cans most of the time, right?! ;)

Just an FYI, I changed my username with the assistance of forum admins since I mistakenly used my first name instead of my chosen username. My new username here on the forum will now be gman_93643. Thanks!

Well I've been offered as much as $2500 for R2, but I wont part with him. I offered to build the requester his own for $3500, but he was dead set on mine. Interestingly enough, this R2 was built to accommodate foot drives, and motors for radio control application. He also has a MP3 player with...

LOL, funny thing is we sent photos to Pepsi and some of the LucasFilm folks and never heard back!

While I am gathering my materials to post a tutorial thread as requested, I am once again posting photos of a project that have never been seen in their entirety before. This project came about four years ago with the intention of competing for the top prize at a local IPMS competition. We had...

Oh the detailing is indeed endless and in some of these models I've hardly touched on it, but I will get to that in a later thread. As for the adhesive choice, over the years I have tried a number of products such as Quick grip, generic super glue products, Zap no drip Gel, Testors Super glue...

Here are some photos of my experimentation into building with the silver side out. For this experiment conducted several years ago, I used a Fiddler's Green F-86 Sabre pattern for this attempt and used Pepsi Cans and built the model in reverse. The process was a bit more time consuming than the...
