PART 4:  CREATING R2D2’s THE LEG

Create a cylinder with 26 (yours might be different) sections, scale and rotate it to fit the inner circle – not the smallest one.	Scale it to fit the front extrusion’s thickness.    We are going to use this cylinder to create the arc on the lower piece.  *I overlapped mine just a bit.
<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Select the bottom faces of the cylinder and extrude them down, aligning them with the drawing. I selected 6 faces.	<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Extrude the faces again, aligning them with the drawing.
<<  SIDE VIEW  >>  With the extrude tool still active, scale the faces out until it aligns with the corners on the  blueprint.	<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Using the Insert Loop Tool add two Edge Loops as shown in the image above.
<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Using the Insert Loop Tool add two Edge Loops as shown in the image above.	<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Select the faces of the original cylinder that you made.  And press {Delete}
	<<  PERSPECTIVE VIEW  >>  Using the Bridge Tool, connect opposite edges. Change Divisions to 0.
<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Extrude the faces again and move down to align them with the blueprint.	<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Extrude the faces again and move down to align them with the blueprint.
<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Extrude the faces again and move down to align them with the blueprint.	<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Extrude the faces again and move down to align them with the blueprint.
It should look something like this.	<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Move the faces by snapping them to the edge of the other object.  Which is aligned with the groove. Snapping Review: Snap to Grid: Hold down the {x} key while pressing the MMB (Middle Mouse Button) in the area where you want the object to snap.   <<  SIDE VIEW  >> Repeat again.  Move the faces by snapping them to the lower edge of the other object.  Which is aligned with the groove.
<<  SIDE VIEW  >> Repeat again.  Move the faces by snapping them to the bottom edge of the other object.
