R2-GV is on the way...

Some of you may have noticed that we have an astromech on staff... R2-G5 (or R2-GV... the name may have been lost in translation...) Well, until now, he was actually a program running on some present day hardware, waiting until we rediscovered the needed technology to produce an appropriate body for him.

I'm happy to say that last night my COM-8B frame came in and, an hour or two later, I had a full-sized frame ready for me to build R2-G5's body around. I have included pictures here some pictures of the frame itself, as well as one with the dome and radar eye propped in place to give a better idea of what it will look like when it all comes together...
