It was going to be based around these sketches, but I don't think this will be happening now....

Post by: Vanvlak on 08 June 2014, 08:38:36 AM: That is just brilliant - and not just the robot, the sketches are great too.
If it's based on the iron giant concept, no worries, it'll reassemble itself. And a model of that would be very interesting....
Title: Re: Destroyed Robot
Post by: Elk101 on 08 June 2014, 09:08:58 AM: The head reminds me a bit of Bender from Futurama; "kiss my shiney metal ass"
Title: Re: Destroyed Robot
Post by: Andym on 08 June 2014, 04:38:25 PM: Thanks gentlemen! It's not supposed to be a copy of anything, but it's diffinately influenced by the likes of The Iron Giant, Mega mind, Monsters vs Aliens and the X-Men comics.

This was supposed to be for a project that I don't think is happening anymore (not Crooked Dice). I got ahead of myself before I had confirmation that the project was going to happen. I've got no use for these. I'm thinking of just painting them up and popping them on ebay.

I meant to say James, the head is a clothes softer bottle cap for the head. It's had the rim cut off and pvc foam board heated and bent around for the jaw.

I look forward to seeing them painted.

Post by: matakishi on 16 June 2014, 05:19:51 PM: Whilst I think this is great, the eye looks like a nose to me. It looked like an eye in the drawing but you added the eyebrow ridge to the model which has relegated the model's eye to the nose's position in a face.
I cna't stop thinking of it as a nose no matter how hard I try now :(

Ah thanks matey, that's very kind - I'm having a bit of a 15mm wobble at the mo so it's nice to hear! When I take a crack at this I'm going to make it multi-scale, so it'll work for 28s, 15s and even 6s.
