And with his lenses and a few details and his leg bolts



He is basically done, all thats left is hubby has to refine the remote control and do a double check of all the electronics.

Further detailing, weathering and electronics will wait until a later date.

I'll try and remember to get a vid of him running around the floor tomorrow Smiley


Your Astromech M4-QT build looks great.

Excellent work. Point well deserved.

M4 was excited for the movie too!



I'll post more photos after they have been released by the official photographer.

M4-QT had his first proper photo shoot on Sunday. He was terribly excited to go to Tattooine but a little nervous about all that sand when he is so very small. So we made him little booties to protect his motors and wheels Cheesy



More will be coming, he had an absolute field day and was a bit of a star too!  Grin (just a hint, a video will be on its way in the nearish future!)

Also M4 was getting very jealous that a friend's droid had a facebook page, so we had to make him one to stop him beeping at us indignantly.

Awesome picture.  Smiley  Which part of Australia is that?  It's a good double for Tatooine, even though that planet was filmed a long way away.

A small town in Western Australia bit north of it's capital city. They have a section of dunes which is used as an off road recreation area, so we drove in a little ways away from where most the cars were, found ourselves a few nice dunes that didn't have much in the way of vegetation and set up there Smiley for filming we had to be careful about our angles, otherwise you'd get trees or bushes or the town or 4WDs in the background Tongue but it worked out for us Smiley

Funny you should say that.  Many sci-fi and post apocalyptic films with desert scrub locations are filmed here in Oz.  See the Mad Max movies and Salute of the Jugger as examples  Smiley

That's because we have huge expanses of scrubby, rocky desert Tongue and around all that, amazing coastlines.

Btw hello to a fellow Aussie Smiley which part do you hail from?

Today M4 had another outing, this time as a member of the local chapter of the R2D2 builders club Cheesy

Sadly it was a very hot day, inside the hall it was stinking hot and humid and the outside temp of 36-37C was actually cooler! M4 was being a little problematic... he kept cutting out, and in the end the glue holding one of his feet motors melted and made his foot wonky! Oh well, he has a second motordriver and far more powerful motors waiting to go in anyway! Hubby is also gonna have to recode some of his programming coz of a few bugs, and we need to fix his saggy shoulder joint.

With his much much larger cousin R4-E1



And with his makers Grin

Finally got M4's head servo working! Currently he is set up so that his thumbstick has a toggle switch- press the button and you are operating his head servo, press it again and you operate his feet motors. Later the two functions will be on different controls so they can be done simultaneously but at short notice this worked well Smiley
