he body of R2-D3 is rather simple, contrary to how it looks. It is made up of an internal frame (aluminum) with aluminum skins attached to the outside. There are two panels on the front that serve as doors. These allow me to access the main control panel as well as charge the batteries.

Like the dome, the skins are in two layers that must be glued together. I used an adhesive made for attaching car paneling.
