Ya, majority of people built their own Full-Size R2 units.

But if you got money to burn (several Ks in USD), I'm sure someone can built it for you and ship it over to Singapore (another high cost add-on)

The best R2 I seen are all metal but you have to construct it yourself but the price will come up to US$15000 to US$20000. The cheaper one is S$7000 plus... if I can remember correctly and dunno still available for pre-order at ST or not.

If one can be contructed cheaply, damn, I will want one too!
