It’s Chopper! He’s the same scale as the new R2-D2 set 753979, very similar structure, and includes the retractable middle leg/wheel from my R2 mod. Instructions are on Rebrickable, linked on my profile, or you can tap this out…

This project stated life as an experimental copy-and-paste recolour of R2-D2 in Studio and ended up being a joy to work on. Heavily based on the 2024 R2 he’s a strong little build with plenty of detail and a few fun features, most importantly he’s scaled correctly with R2!

.

I’ve chosen to go with the animated Chopper colour scheme, this does mean that there’s some pieces that are slightly more expensive than I’d like, but overall at £75ish for 980 pieces he’s bot too bad. If you do decide to build him choosing some used pieces (orange curved slopes, orange wedge plates and the tall slopes in the feet) will bring the price down considerably.

You may have spotted some modifications to R2’s head in the render too, I’ll be adding his slightly curvier dome to my R2 mod soon and may even have a go at an R5 mod.

Anyway, enough of my rambling, hope you all enjoy the little bastard, photos to follow once I’ve built him!
