IT was a fun project!
I would really love to see all of the Astromech droids made into paper/cardstock models.

Thank you for this lovely droid.

You are welcome! Make sure to get the updated template, please. No change of the content but the layout is better now.

This is the droid you're looking for!


Thanks much for the kit and the build thread.

Now the only question left...how do you build this full size!!!


I always like "Red" despite his bad motivator...

Which motivates me to build this!

I have a set of blueprints for a life-size R2, so basically it is possible.

You are welcome! This template was way overdue. R5 models are scarce.

Okay, what scale is this? I need 1/12 to match my Bandai figures.

It is (roughly) 1:6 scale. So, you can print it at half the size to get the scale that you want.

Fabulous, I built R2 for a guy who supplied me with some fun resin droid mash-ups...

This will be an equally nice present to make and send to him for all the kindness he's shown to me

Great work guys, now how about all the other droids

I found it very surprising that no-one had made the R5 head before. That one was really missing and I'm glad that everything fit as planned. A few recolours are in the works and I'm really itching to make the dome for the R4 units.
