R2 v2 Dome Modified to hold a Nikon 18-200mm VR Zoom Lens
Description
This is a modification of Mr. Baddeley's excellent v2 R2-D2 Dome to incorporate a Nikon 18-200mm VR Zoom Lens behind the radar eye. Only the radar eye and panels 4 & 5, which sit behind the radar eye, have been modified. Panel 4 & 5 have a cutout which is large enough for the body of the Nikon lens to fit through with a little work, but is small enough that the front of the lens won't fall through. Panel 4 includes supports. There are also 4x M4 holes used to mount the radar eye in place. The radar eye has cutouts for 4x captive M4 nuts. Each cutout has a corresponding piece that can be acetone welded over the nut (for ABS prints) or glued (?) for prints using different materials. As I was doing an R2-Q2, I also placed indented lines on the dome panels to help me paint the horizontal lines, which R2-Q2 has on his dome. If you're doing another droid, these can be easily filled with putty/bondo/etc. I found the (broken) Nikon 18-200mm VR Zoom Lens on eBay.
