Red Leader's R5 Unit


R5

R5


Ingredients:

  • E1 R2-D2
  • Vintage R5-D4 head and "collar"
  • Plastic
  • Plastic Q-Tips
  • Small wire
  • Superglue
  • Matte clearcoat
  • Red, black, white, and silver paint


Recipe:

Rather easy as far as assembly, painting is a bit tricky though. Since you never see anything but the head in A New Hope, the body is left up to your creative imagination. Unscrew vintage R5-D4 head, and trim down the collar section. Remove the head off a Episode 1 R2-D2, and glue the collar onto the body. Paint head and body as seen. Cut 3 thin slices of tube from a plastic q-tip, and glue onto head for the eyes. Then cut thin slices of small wire and attach to area on head above and below the eyes. Paint both silver, with the middle of the eyes black. Glue the head onto the body, and then seal with a matte clearcoat. Now you can send out Red Leader to get blown up over the Death Star.
