Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[Sixth Scale Man]

He's worth picking up, especially if you have a Threepio. The two together just work so well. [emoji106]

Still waiting on my replacement dome.

Could be worse... they sent me a replacement body when I needed a dome.

Wow, for a second I totally thought that first shot was a still from the movie. Amazing display!

Beautiful, flying dutchman! Simply beautiful!

That is fantastic work, the perfect diorama for the droids and rebel fleet troopers et al. You could make some coin selling these. I have a Tantive IV type diorama that my friend made, which actually lights up, but yours has some very nice details that make it look almost like the real thing. I currently have Vader choking Captain Antilles on the dio but I should change it up with the droids and take some new pics. Thanks for the inspiration and would love to see you re-create other locations. I still want to make the escape pod and bury it in sand for a Tatooine diorama for my Sandtroopers & Dewback.

My only nitpick is that his centre leg is overextended, but GREAT pics.

Gotta go watch Star Wars again.

It could be rationalized this way:

1. Eliminate Star Wars figures in all other scales (not hard, I don't have much).
2. Have only one element from each OT film.

As such, it would satisfy my requirements of minimalism with only three sets. I could do it with 4-5 items. Not bad for a property known for taking over people's homes and bank accounts.

I would display R2 with one or two sandtroopers. Good visual summary of ANH.

Of course, that would mean I'd have to either kit-bash* sandtroopers (again) or wait for a HT sandtrooper release.

I've heard that it is the way of things. The way of one-sixth.

Did you mod yours, Dutchman?

*If I had to do it all over again, I'd do full repaints instead of just weathering.
