Midi-Scale, and with instructions in pdf format

Back to a DanSto MOC which obviously appeals to me by the chosen format. And this R2-D2 more compact than the version of set 10225 released in 2012 (see this comparative visual) deserves that you take the time to look into it.

DanSto succeeds in delivering a detailed astromech droid in a relatively compact format, while retaining essential functionality. The dome with visible studs becomes as far as I'm concerned more consistent at this scale than on the official UCS version and the angle of inclination of the feet seems to me to be closer to the model in the film.

Instructions in pdf format are available free of charge at this address (13 MB): R2-D2 Mid Size by DanSto and this is good news because I know that many of you are expressing your frustration in front of an OMC that you would like to reproduce in your spare time but for which the instructions are not available.

This MOC is subject to Cuusoo project that you can support if, like me, you have an activist soul in favor of the Midi-Scale format. This project will struggle to find 10.000 supporters, but a conviction vote to remind LEGO that the Midi-Scale has its followers is never too much.

DanSto has also posted its MOC on his flickr gallery and you can also find it on Rebrickable.
