Having had a couple of builds under my belt I decided to go all out when I found a decent sized R2-D2 papercraft template. I’ve always focused on building toys, not models, since my childhood so I did quite a bit of greebling on this. The end build turned out to be about the size of the original Kenner R2-D2 action figure of the 70’s. I embellished upon the original template going for extra detail. For his dome I bought some shiny silver cardboard from the hobby store (Michaels here in Canada). I also put small curved pieces of clear plastic inside his lenses and used some of the silver card to make some of the body details 3D.
