R2D2 costume parts - Radar Eye and Holographic Projector

thingiverse

I made these parts for a kid's costume and I'm not trying to be perfect here. If you want an accurate costume, don't bother with these, they're just okay as-is. You could still make use of them if you're planning on dressing up as R2D2 this Halloween, though - that's what I had in mind when making them. The main helmet piece is what you'll likely see when it comes to this costume and you can attach these parts with the ones provided below. As for the Radar Eye part which does not have a lens since they aren't needed to complete an R2D2 model, I actually replaced that part with a shiny plastic easter egg shell. It wasn't easy but still a fun experience to try this different look out. The original version had some problems as it was quite course and didn't feel very smooth or natural looking which may make them unsuitable for those more serious model builders out there who insist on exact accuracy. However, both options are available if you have specific preferences - either work perfectly fine so pick one that suits your needs better!
