Artoo meets a fan with droid in progess R6 at Twin Cities Con Minneapolis MN 2023
More droids at Nerdin Out Con Rochester MN 2023
I celebrate my love of Star Wars by building droids. In 2015 at Star Wars Celebration I saw my first fan built R2-D2. There, a builder told me anyone could build Artoo. Seeing the Droid Builders' exhibit with fully completed droids and work in progress droids built in materials of wood, styrene and aluminum I was convinced. I joined the R2 Builders online forum that day. It took me almost 2 years to complete while learning many new skills along the way, such as, 3D printing, soldering and wiring. Now I am able to share my R2-D2 with others through volunteering at Children's Hospital, library Star Wars Reads days, maker events and local comic conventions.
