... or Jawa Jaka, or just Lynelle. I'm an R2 builder with two droids, a mouse droid, and half a scrubber droid that got trashed during the EP1 3D opening. After Anaheim I plan to start on the big ugly green tank-looking droid named R1 in the New Essential Guide to Droids book (page 28 for those with the book). He's big and ugly, but I kinda like the military look and dorkiness of it. I plan to do a paper mache model of it first to see how it will all fit together. Once I start building I might put it on treadwells to move it somewhat (it's a big droid). I'll be using the book and screen shots as reference, but if anyone else has references for this orginal R1 please let me know. I don't think anyone else has built one, and it might take me a couple years, but hey, it's unique. And I might build a pit droid someday, too.
