R2D2, Part 3 - Do Droids Have Skeletons?

 Apparently they do! 

Bag 3 of the R2D2 set builds up the same with a virtual Technic-fest of parts.

A solid framework of beams and pins are constructed which also integrate a number of internal mechanical linkages that will serve to provide the solid operation of various moving parts and gadgets.

Much of this ABS machinery is dedicated to positioning and locking Artoo's central foot into its retracted or extended positions.


Another set of mechanisms serve to activate the droid's 'torch' and 'tech arm' features.

A very fun build thus far !
