I might as well update this and I'm bumping this up again. I have reworked the frame, put on the front skins, finished the framework on the new head also. So far it has come out great!
Here is the new body:
And the new framework on the new head:
I figured that I might as well finish...
Again at the mod again, I had a minor set back on the mod.
The frame wasn't going as well as planned, I needed to lighten the frame, so I was able to join the astromech club site that builds the astromech droids and was able to find the templates for a newer frame made of plywood instead of...
Thanks for the comment, but for now I have to put this mod on hold for awhile.
Sorry for not updating this lately, I was out of the country for 2 months from November to December. I was in Taiwan getting my wife ready to come to the US.
I was here before under another username: scorpionjwp
I went to a place to the middle of nowhere, I built an Ark of sorts, but no matter where I go, I fold for 1 thing, the cure. It doesn't matter where I fold or what team I fold for, I battle a beast that kills people with cancer, some...
Hi and welcome to another round of updates tonight.
Some of you may be wondering how did I stealth the tubing in the legs and the fan cable in the legs?
I worked more on the front of the mod, placed a 4-port usb hub in the first bay, second external bay will a dvd burner. I have still yet to...
On the first box, no I have no exhaust holes on the box, I built it quick and I will redo it with a mesh on the front.

I have assembled one of the legs and still have some minor details left on it. I have yet to start assembling the other leg, but here is what I have for an update.
More updates till later...
Ahh! why thanks!
Here is an update:
I went around looking at this mod scratching my head asking myself what have I gotten wrong. The wrong is that this mod is starting to look just about every other astromech droid that the astromech builders club is building.
So I needed to balance the look...
It's now listed on Ultra's website:

At $999.99 they can keep it too, I ain't spending that much on a case.
Thanks!
I had to redo the neck section with something that looks like the R5 astromech neck piece. I repainted the lower body section also.
Most of the colored panels were mounted by 2 sided foam tape.
Head Section:
Body section repainted:
I'll update in a few days also.
Don't worry the [H]ark has been rebuilt in some sort of a way, but it's not called [H]ark anymore.
I'm not folding on the toughbook either, I have a quad core to do that on.
Here I am again, back after 2 years and still working on this mod on end. That I have decided to give some new life of a mod that I started here on 10-25-2006.
