Thanks for posting. I was waiting for this for a long time. You are still a genius sir! I'm in London, and i'll hit up the Forbidden Planet for some vintage hunting.!
I fixed mine using some thermoplastic beads, just melted them and shaped it into a thin point, it worked great. That stuff would be a great tool in your arsenal
Fine work yet Again TP! -using that existing injection molded right-angled plastic to create a part bearing function in mind, instead of just recreating the shape ... - that's why we're all here and will stay here. Absolute Legend :)
Perfectly done. I like „upcycling“ methods. To use the rest of the plastic box. Really clever. I used the bottoms of a haribo box for the underside of my recreation hoverboard. Keep up the good work. 😊
Love your yavin and dagobah versions! would love to see you recreate the version from the battle of endor, when he gets shot trying to break into the shield generator bunker!`
I never actually liked the clicker despite R2 being one of my favourite childhood toys. I don't know what it was, but it was like that serling crawling sensation people get with nails on a blackboard, touching polystyrene, that sort of thing.
I have the tiny clicker bit of one of mine in a bag somewhere as I could never figure out how to re attach it due to it being the very definition of a fiddly bit, ( possibly plastic weld or superglue) This is a great alternative fix
It would be hard to reattach the broken piece as the join would be so weak and to make it click it has a lot of force applied. So I'm not sure if it's even possible.
Does the sensor scope clicker ring fit into the solid dome version ? If the plastic is better quality in the sensor scope version and less likely to break, providing it`ll fit in the solid dome version it makes sense to just swap them out if you have a beyond repair sensor scope figure but the clicker ring is in good condition you could just pop it into the solid dome.
