Long Beach Comic Expo [T11]

We were at the LBCE 2018 on Saturday Feb. 17 with the Columbia Space Memorial Space Expo Exhibit.

Ardy Jo was able to finish her Monster Mouse in time but, forgot the controller! So it just sat and looked pretty all day. Krank finished his MSE side boards and was able to bring it along. His battery unfortunately died before he was able to drive it as well. Sad day for mousers!

Krank brought along hiss BB-8E head with working lights to display on the table.

Columbia had a lot of great activities for visitors to participate in at their booths.

The R2 Builders, BB8 Builders and Mouse Droid Builder clubs were represented using 3 tables to display parts, droids and handouts. We had several astromechs throughout the day including a R2-D2 and a Boba-fett style R2.

Johnny 5

The droid builder clubs were fortunate to enough to have Johnny 5 stop by ! We invite you to follow his page over on Facebook Hey Johnny for updates on his progress towards full restoration and operation of this awesome piece of machinery!

BB-8

We also had an awesome rolling BB-8! Check out and follow Aaron Lane on Youtube!

At the end of the day we had a informational panel and explained the different clubs/droids and builds.

Super great time despite our set-backs. Always learning new stuff and meeting great people!

Ardy Jo's Monster MSE Build

Ardy Jo started Monster Mouse build!

Ardy Jo is making progress on her Monster Mouse Droid build. Using a 1/10 scale chassis from a Traxxas Stampede and building a custom 3/4 size styrene shell. The fun thing about building different things is experiencing new challenges and obtaining new skill sets. She is hoping to have it mostly complete for the Long Beach Comic Expo next week, February 17, 2018. So we will see how far she gets. Needs to wire the LEDS and the final coat of paint!

The Build Log is in the Mouse Builders Club forums. Link on Ardy Jo's About page.

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

Kranks MSE Droid

Krankmeister is near completing his full-scale MSE-6 series repair droid ! Just need to assemble the boards and chips !

This was a quick and cheap build via a cheap lil 1/10 scale RC car and hand-cut styrene frame & 3d printed top-racks.

Hopefully a build log will be posted to the Mouse Builders Club Forums eventually.

Ardyjo is still working on the Monster Mouse build.

Ontario Reign VS Stockton Heat

Citizens Bank Arena, Ontario, CA

Scum tagged along with the 501st Legion, Rebel Legion and Mercs for Star Wars night at our local AHL Professional Hockey team. This was Ardy Jo’s first hockey game! It is really cold in the arena!

RD-2D had a blast roaming around the lobby area greeting guests and taking pictures.

RD-2D Last Jedi Premiere [T7]

RD-2D attended his first movie Premiere in Edwards Metro Pointe Stadium 12, Costa Mesa, California as part of the DELL/EMC vmware event.

He was even allowed into the theatre to watch the movie. Big thank you to the staff, people at Dell and Droidbuilders.net for letting him come out.

RD-2D Completion

December 9, 2017 marked RD-2Ds official completion after starting the build May 2016. As in all parts installed! This was thanks to Krankmeister deciding to 3D print RD's remaining pieces. He will of coarse get some upgrades here and there but for now he is done and ready to rock Southern California!

Next to build will be Ardy Jo's Inferno Squad Commander Versio suit and Monster MSE Droid.

Krankmeister has already started 3d printing BB8 parts.

Droid Builders got to have an area in the Maker room of the event. Really interesting hotel. The event was in the basement and had a really nostalgic smell to it. Smells like the old mall in our hometown, like old books or something. Nice laid back event.

This year was Star Wars themed and Ardy Jo was lucky enough to attend the star wars panel that was

Designer Con 2018

Designer Con was a amazing place! So wish we could have a booth with something to sell. The big hit this year appeared to be the lil trees from the Lorax. RD-2D even got his own badge to get in for free :) The line to get in was a nightmare for a droid since we had to go all the way around the block and back to where we are since there was steps in the way. Fun event. Best booths were the Tested guys.
