From Adam Savage’s Tested.

Adam welcomes former ILM colleague John Duncan to the cave to spend the day building some new R2-D2 parts for their own astromech replicas. They discuss their first droid builds in the secretive R2-D2 builder’s group at the ILM model shop and their access to the original props during the filming of Star Wars: Episode II. John has been refining his own build ever since and brings in his parts for the side vents to assemble and paint!

Thanks so much to John for spending the day with us for this build!
