Star Wars Booth Supporting the Nevada Cure 4 the Kids Foundation

https://cure4thekids.org/

Event Summary:

What a great event! Star Wars clubs had a killer booth/setup thanks to Dan with @TikiFab and the amazing space walls !!! They were back lit and even had some awesome disco color changing action during the intermittent Deathsar Disco! The Star Wars area was shared by Droid Builders (Southern California, Nevada, Sacramento Astromech Builders) 501st Neon City Garrison, Saber Guild NarShadda Temple and Rebel Legion Coruscant base ! The booth had a donation helmet supporting the Nevada Cure 4 the Kids Foundation. https://cure4thekids.org

Scum and droids had a fabulous time hanging out with our sister club members representing our love of the Wars and promoting droid building/costuming etc. It has been over 1 1/2 years since we have been to a big event like this and couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to get out again and share the droids with everyone.

We had the pleasure of meeting and mingling with Special Guests from a variety of hit movies and TV shows. Always fun sharing our love of droid building across different universes!

50 TROOPS !

Desert Scum & Droids celebrated their 50th Troop this past Saturday March 6, 2021!

We also celebrated R2-2Ds 1st troop out in the world since he was completed April 2020 !

What a crazy adventure it has been! The droids have been to fundraisers/charities , school science nights, comic cons, baseball games, and hockey games all over Southern California the past few years. We are eager to get back in the swing- encouraging building, creative enthusiasm and making them smiles!

Can’t wait for the next 50 !

Thank you all for the love and build on ! <3 Ardyjo & Krank

R2-2D COMPLETED

R2-2D completed

RD-2Ds tear-down and partial conversion to R2-2D has been completed ! Well assembled and operational at least. Any droid builder knows a droid is never completed …

Too-dee is sitting on a wood frame, all steel feet, aluminium dome & skins and rocking on new Q85 Brushless 4WD drive system !!

All parts as provided by the mighty R2 Droid Builders Club members at www.astromech.net or via Facebook groups such as Mr. Baddeley Printed Droid group.

While it may seem to have taken 7 months to complete too-dee, the dome was already completed (slight re-wiring) and had most of the parts to assemble and lets not forget the knowledge and experience that came from RD-2D & RD-QD !

Unfortunately it looks like too-dee will not be able to meet any new friends for a few months dues to COVID-19. But he will be ready to roll when this blows over!

Here he is meeting his sister RD-QD for the 1st time!
