(12-31-2014) R2's dome is 99% complete!!

The past couple of days, as time has allowed, I've been working on finishing up the R2's dome.  It's down to the tedious stage of checking, double checking and triple checking everything for final assembly - but it's finally getting really close to being finished.

I believe that once all of the panels and dome are cleaned and polished to match that it will be ready for final assembly.

(05-20-2014) Back to work!

It's been a long time since I've really worked on R2 but I'm finally getting back to work on him.

The past week I've been working on finishing up the cuts on the dome.  Sunday, I cut the bottom edge of the dome and filed it smooth so that the dome is the correct height now and I cut an access hole in the back of the dome and finally I drilled holes for the dome buttons to be mounted.

There is still a lot of work to do - installing hinges for opening panels, install the rear PSI, mount plastic ring and more paint work, but it's getting there.
