Thanks Everyone for the warm welcome. And to those 2 female Americans - where were you guys when I was looking for one ..... ;D ... J/K. Anyway, yes I build (still building) that R2 from scratch. We are part of the R2 Builders Club and has members from all over the world. As a matter of fact, we are helping a solo Malaysian member (Randy Lee) to build his R2. I will try and swing him this way. It took me about 2 years to put it together. Has helped a few other members on building their R2s and been in a few magazines (Insiders and etc.) Here a clip from a mags. tinyurl.com/68et6Not new to prop building and costuming. Tusken costume was built from scratch. I built the whole Tie pilot from scratch too (except the helmet). Other members like it so much, I end up making and selling the costume. So if anybody need help - please let me know. If I don't know the answer, I will find one. Later

Excellent, please assist him to make his way here to MySciFiFan forums as well. ;D Is he based in the US like you?
Just curious how long have you been involved in STAR WARS Costume and Prop building? Please do share with us here.

You bet kakitidur, just imagine the COMBINED might of ALL these STAR WARS talents that made up MySciFiFan, NOT only in the Malaysian scene, but across our borders as well. Think GLOBALISATION, bro that's how things are today.

Road Squadron... wow! Douglas, perhaps you'll considering modding your Proton Tiara into a mean Star Wars machine... Luke's landspeeder?

Thanks for pointing out this site, Azman. Just signed up.
Hi everyone, I'm the solo R2 builder Azman mentioned. Like him, I'm also a member of the R2 Builders Club.
Although no where near Azman's level of expertise yet, I've already begun sourcing my R2 parts in earnest, and expect to complete construction by end 2006 but hopefully ASAP. Yes, that's a long time but parts are custom made to order.
Other than building R2, I also collect SW items...mostly prop replicas - don't really collect the toys due to space constraint. I'm also interested in becoming a member of the 501st as a stormtrooper...except I do not own a suit of armor yet.
