Build Your Own R2-D2 - Issue 57 DeAgostini. New this week, unbox, the weekly issue of Build your own R2D2 from DeAgostini issue 57 .
You will build your own R2-D2 from components engineered to look just like the original Star Wars props – plus state-of-the-art modern electronic components. Taking inspiration from the remote-controlled film prop, your fully functioning half-scale model R2-D2 is engineered in the same way, and has been authentically detailed based on the droid seen on screen.
Once assembled, you can choose whether to retain the factory-fresh finish, or give your astromech a weathered, ‘used’ appearance as in the movies.
When your R2-D2 is complete, you will be able to download the special control app to your smartphone or tablet. Then fit the rechargeable batteries, switch on and connect R2-D2 to your wi-fi network. With his sensors, camera, microphones, sophisticated logic boards and powerful motors, R2-D2 can interact with his owner, move and behave just like the astromech from the Star Wars movies.
Each shipment includes 4 official full color magazines with your easy-to-follow - detailed Assembly Guide plus a fascinating look at the amazing story behind the little astromech and the other droids, machines and vehicles of Star Wars as you follow in the footsteps of the master movie makers.
