This Antique D2 project is a homemade, one-of-a-kind R2-D2, if R2 was made in an era when barrels were used as bodies for helper robots. Which is to say in an era that never existed, but I suppose that's what makes it fun, right?
The detail on the model is really what makes this project stand out. It clearly had loads of work put into it, with the tiny valves on the front, pneumatic legs and grating on the top of the dome.
The creator doesn't quite know what he's going to do with it, as he doesn't just want to shill it on eBay. He's considering a raffle of some kind with proceeds going to charity, so if this is the kind of thing you'd like to decorate your apartment with, be sure to check on the deviantART thread to see if you've got a shot.

This would go well with Doc Brown's Locomotive Time Machine.
Now that's steampunk!
Ask him to donate it to Child's Play for an auction at PAX or online (PA is good about that). So far I have enjoyed Child's Play as a charity, one for what it does, and two for showing that geeks are not all anti-social.
@DeadGhost25: I was just gonna say that.
Kinda reminds me of something you'd find on the island of anachronistic robots in Futurama.
@DeadGhost25: @ninjagin:
Tis still missing the stacks!
I don't know about steam punk... but I think Dr. Loveless is up to something.
looks like R2's brother, Bar2...
@Zander: Maybe Bender's Cousin_
Damn! It's just been a Star Wars kind of day_
First this and then the Han Solo Carbonite Desk:

looks like an old cartoon drawing from the 1800's
One could say "Long, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away."
Would the rebellion still have wireless communication or would everything be done via telegraph?
