He's all metal and a little yellow.

ellow is the new blue. Ok, maybe not. That being said, R2-D3 is a character in the Star Wars universe that has long been overlooked in terms of his visual appeal and robotic charisma. Stay tuned as R2-D3 is constructed, painted, polished, wired-up and tested for his first public appearance at Celebration IV in May of 2007.

This Web site is an online gallery of images showcasing the construction of an all-metal Astromech droid. There are no "kits" or fully-built metal droids available. If you wish to own a droid, you have to roll up your sleeves and make it yourself. Special thanks to all of the parts suppliers who made this project possible. ~ Jeff Barnes
