R5-D4 black edition

Indeed RB you can greeble this model as much as you want it has a huge potential.
The same goes for all of these kind of droids.

"I wish we all could just get along". I don't think I've ever seen anyone do the Black R2 unit before. You're breaking down all the walls and barriers. :)
Thank you very much! The black R2 is a great idea, I'll make it happen as time allows, as well as the black R5.

Right back to the third leg or how do you call "it".
The parts needed for the third leg.
Oh great I forgot to make a overall view image never mind the assembling of the feet is almost identical as the other two.

At the end you will have something that looks like this.

There are some parts missing on the other two feets. Score and form glue them back to back as shown.

Glue the strips on the feet.

Last thing left to do is attaching the arms and feet to the body.
For the arms you need to make a tube.

Then slide it in the body.

Glue the arms on the tube. Do not glue the tube on the body otherwise it can't move. Repeat this for the second arm.

Then you can attache the center feet to R5's bottom.
Do not use glue other wise you cant remove and move it.
