New projects!

While I'm waiting for more parts to come in for my droid, I'm going to be working on this Trigun revolver prop:
I'll make an update when I'm finished with it.







Also while I was at Megacon this year, I finally decided what costume I want to make next year.
A Rebel Pilot:


So when ever I get the chance I will be joining the Rebel Legion website and seeing which rebel pilot I want to make.
Right now their website seems to be down or something because I can't get to it.
(I will make an update of which one I choose when ever I can get to their site.)

Megacon 2011

Megacon is finally over and I am exhausted!
I had lots of fun this year and the booth looked better than last year with the combined efforts of The Southern R2 Builders group and The Rebel Legion.

First off, some pictures of our booth:


















My droid Goldie still unfinished of course!


Jessica's R7C1 droid.


My mom's(Brenda's) R3T7 droid.











Now for some pics of some of my favorite costumers at Megacon:

JUST KIDDING!!! FOR THE LOLS!




My favorite costume there, he can even make the weird alien voice. (One of the aliens from "Mars Attacks".)




















Some guys from the 501st also stopped by our booth for pictures.








Our droids out cruising around.












Well, that's all until next year... *sob* See you all in a year! ;)

READY FOR MEGACON 2011!

Well, after getting on the wheels and castors and adding some strength to the center leg and ankle, he is now ready for Megacon 11'!
While he isn't driveable yet, he can still be rolled into the convention center instead of having to carry his butt.
And also, he rolls very well! You can push him with your pinky finger and he takes off! Try doing that with a heavy aluminum droid. ;)
So if Celebration 6 is in Orlando again I might enter him into the droid races. I can see him easily as one of the fastest droids there because of how light he is!
Anyway,
Here is what Goldie looked like last year:


Here is what he will look like this time:


As you can see my cat Wally's legs are sticking out of my droid. Yep, my droid is going to be cat powered. He will be the fastest droid ever.




For anyone who may be wondering how the center leg and A&A foot looks up close.


This will probably be my last post until we leave for Megacon.
I'll see you all there!
