My next project after R2-D2

[B-52 GUNNER]

Hello Everyone,

I found out what my next project will be after I finish My R2-D2.

Does anyone remember these guys?

I need help though, If anyone knows someone who was a part of the Special Effects Crew that worked on Silent Running; Esspecially these people:

Drone Creators:

James Dow

Paul Kraus

Don Trumbull

Drone Actors:

Mark Persons

Steven Brown

Cheryl Sparks

Larry Whisenhunt

It would be very helpful in making the Drones as accurate as possible.

I started a new Yahoo Group to see if there are others who want to build one of these guys and it seems to be doing well so far.

Here is the link: Valley Forge Drone Builders

Any help would be great.

Huey, Dewey and Louie? Jeeze....there's probably more reference material for even The Black Hole than there is for Silent Running. But if you can pull it off, you'll certainly have something unique.

Are you making scale Prop replicas or scrathcbuilt models? Sorry for not knowing your work or the source material, but I am interedted on what you do with it.

[B-52 GUNNER]

I want to make a scale prop but without access to the real deal it's going to be a good guess as to their size.

I just want one just like I want an R2-D2.

So far I'm 40% complete on my R2.

But this is a hobby and not a business.

As for what I will do with it, It will sit in a corner of my living room and look COOL!

Just as long as you don't do that huge ugly-ass thing from Saturn 3 (I think that's what it was called) with Michael Douglas, one of the stupidest looking movie robots ever.

No, that prize gets awarded to Box from Logan's Run.

Hhmmm. I bet a Maximillian reproduction would make a great security sentry. It's just a matter of hiding powerfull enough lift fans in it. *plots*

Well,

My group isn't even a week old and I hit a major snag.

It seems all three Drones were lost or destroyed after the movie.

The Red number 2 Drone was last seen in Doug Trumbulls office and when he moved it vanished.

Either in the trash of in the back of somebody's car.

CRAP! Why does this have to happen?
