Back when I was first investigating droid building, I had originally thought that maybe I would only build a dome. As I did my research, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to build the whole thing. Seeing photos of completed droids at events, interacting with crowds, and making sounds just like the R2 I remeber from the movies made me a true believer: I had to complete the whole thing. Over the last couple of days, I got much closer to my original goal of building just a dome. This is actually the third dome I've at least partially built: two for other 
builders and finally one for me. I had even written the dome tutorial, but hadn't had a chance to actually complete my own. So here it is, my R2-D1 dome a.k.a. IU-D2. I still need to add plenty of stuff. Next up, I will try to add some lights to give the dome a little life.
