Hiyo from South Jersey

[savagecreature]

As me and my fellow Jerseyans brace for the impending Pope-a-palooza visit in neighboring Philadelphia, I'm building a replica WED-15-77 (also known as one of the Treadwell droids or a Service Droid, as seen in the Aunt Beru action figure 2-pack)

I've already posted my development in the Build Logs section.



I own a small computer store here. I run a D & D game once a week and play in another bi-weekly. Play quite a bit of Diablo 3 online although I'm getting tired of it.



I'm trying to hone my building skills with the WED-15 build, plus I'm helping a friend of mine to fix up his house. My next project will be a polystyrene R5-D4 so I want to redevelop my building skills before I tackle it. I already got the plans printed out - holy crap. Cost me about $150 just for that, not including printouts of the instructions. (that part I can print at work, though) I'm hoping to get started on the R5-D4 build around November if I can afford the polystyrene sheets.



So - hello!

I know, right? 150 just for the plans.  this is definitely not a cheap hobby.  But I'm addicted and you know how addicts are when they need a fix.
