R2 Legs

Since I received the R2's leg kits, I decided to put them together before finishing the skins in case I needed to make adjustments to the skins. Some legs require the frame or skins to be sanded down or otherwise altered, and I needed to make those adjustments before finishing the skins.

The legs are made of wood and came in about 7 pieces each. All of the segments had to be aligned perfectly, as even the smallest deviation would ruin the look of the R2. As with the frame, the legs have to be glued together with wood glue and then clamped in place. Because the legs are very large, it took 4 clamps per leg to get them solidly in place! There were also 4 pieces that must be put together separately from the main legs. To get all of the pieces aligned was difficult, but the results will be worth it!
