More than one way to skin a droid

A great way to put the shell, or skin, on the body of the R2, is to use a pvc or styrene sheet. There are actually 4 sets of skin to carve.  An inner skin and outer skin for the front and back.  They will provide much of the detail on the body, and provide pockets (holes) for additional details.  Here is the inner front skin, freshly cut on the Shopbot

I wanted to make sure everything matched up to the frame before I cut any more- so I've temporarily taped it to the frame to check the fit. Everything looks great! Next I'll cut the back inner skin.  This skin only took about 5 minutes to carve as a profile cut into 1mm pvc.
