Man Builds 8ft R2-D2

Post by Buzz Bumble »

Those of you who build replica R2-D2s or papercraft models should be ashamed ... this news item from the middle of 2011 shows how you do it properly ... ;)
Massive R2-D2 Stands 8-Feet Tall
Flickr user DarthLen spent 50-hours using 4 refrigerator, 5 air conditioner and 3 dryer boxes -- "held together by aluminum tape, duct tape and glue" -- to build this massive R2-D2 that stands 8-feet tall.
