[MOC] Chopper - a companion to the 2024 R2-D2

[mcphatty]

The excellent 2024 R2-D2 turns out to be the perfect base for an astromech and I've used it to build everyone's favourite little war criminal, Chopper! He's properly scaled with R2, highly detailed and features posable arms as well as a retractable middle wheel/foot. As always instructions are on Rebrickable, thanks for looking!

This is fantastic

I love the studless head on Chopper. I'm going to try to cover R2 head with tiles and slopes to get rid of the visible studs.

@PaulPrime I’d like to see what you come up with on R2’s head, I had a try with curved slopes but settled on the round plates to make the mod cheaper. Apart from his head R2 is a great set, such a nice size.

I'll def be building this, thanks!

Ron, you are my hero.

I have already built many of your MOCs and your creativity still amazes me. Definitely on my to-do list :)
