Dome assembly progressing

I drilled and countersunk around 30 holes in the inner dome tonight. Every one got a flat head 6-32 stainless bolt that's flush with the outside of the inner dome surface. Three are for mounting the domes to the dome ring using L-brackets. There were 3 for each of the holoprojectors, 2 for each logic display, 2 for each PSI, and one for every circular dome panel on top to hold a hinge in place. A lot of drilling. Tomorrow I'll make the brackets and put it all together, then start attaching/adhering blue panels.

Your project is hands-down one of the all time most dreamed about ventures! I'm sure all of us who loved the R2 unit wanted one of our own... minus the little person inside of it...and its amazing you will have your own R2 with working computer brain!!! Great Work.
