yep, astromech.net is the main site of the r2d2 builders group.
On that site you will also find the link to the yahoo group of the r2d2 builders where all the chatting is going on.
there is a detailed blueprint of every tiny little bit that you will find on r2d2, measured of the original filmmodel.
what's the main errors:
-your foot seems to be straight on the side, but it is angled.
-battery box ( the box with rounded ends, next to the foot ) has a cutout, but it should be U shaped on sideview, not same shape as the box itself.
- the small tubes on the bottom of the leg seem to be on top, when actually they are cutouts, same with the horizontal line on the leg.
- the large tube on the leg is heavier aka larger diameter, as are the cables connecting the foot and the battery box.
but as I said, that's if you know the droid. A big star wars fan will probably see these errors, but any other won't. It's still a nice model.
