Star Wars A New Hope R1-G4 Astromech 3 3/4"

By popular request, here is R1-G4. After looking at photos, and the Hasbro figure, I decided that the figure was off enough for me to take a stab at it. He is complex. Good photos are hard to find of him, but I eventually found some really good ones, so this is as accurate as practical. Enjoy.

I am teaching myself to model by making obscure background droids from Star Wars. Requests are welcomed.

After some additional requests and comments, I have added a bunch of files to this thing with different head options. There is the original head, which looks closer to the Hasbro figure because it treats the magnetic grapple as an antenna. There is a standard head. There is also a standard head with a peg hole sized for the crane in the new Disney sandcrawler. I also added a little bulk to the peg of the telescope because as you will notice if you printed the original file, the peg was a little small.

I have updated again. There is now an alternative articulation available. The head still readily swivels, however, it does not come off. There is a post with a flange, and a ring. The post goes through the ring, then presses into the body. There is a cavity in the head that the ring then presses into. The flange prevents the head form sliding off anymore. I have posted both a standard and a sandcrawler friendly version of the model with this new articulation. Now, when the sandcrawler's crane pick him up, he doesn't fall apart.
