Making a robot...

[Lovejoy]

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I'm all embarrassed now...

I reckon I'll just knock up a missile pod which can replace one of the arms, then get this off to the casters with a bunch of other stuff. Then I'll just have to figure out how to paint it....

Then I'll just have to figure out how to paint it....

Please figure out how to sell it first, as I don't want to wait to buy it for any longer than necessary!

Well I asked elsewhere if it was 'you' and glad to see it is Michael.

Looking lovely and great to hear your range plans are moving forward, keep us posted.

And I've seen what's coming from his near future sci-fi range.... 

[Commander Vyper]

Marvellous. If that one becomes available for purchase, I know where I would be getting my Horus Heresy Robot Maniple from.

Oh yeah... Backpack mounted weapons please Michael???

[Calimero]

Amazing work! I like it a LOT!

[The Dozing Dragon]

Excellent thread......almost looks achievable at home 

[gamer Mac]

Stunning skills and a cracking model.
Let use know who is going to cast it?
By the way I hate you people who make this look so straight forward and simple

[uti long smile]

Wow!

[Predatorpt]

Stunning work and a great tutorial  If you don't mind me asking, the sci-fi figures from your future line...are they any way related to these?:




Or are these an unrelated project?

[CyberAlien312]

Wow - Your robot looks fabulous!

[tanktastic43]

Stunning! 

Very well done.

This is great work, and a very enlightening step-by-step!

To further develop the robot-army, I'd build a couple variant arm/weapon combos, then some additional add-on for the specialty units: engineer, a recovery 'bot, maybe casualty-evacuation 'mule", etc.

Will these 'bots operate as support elements for human units, or in all-bot autonomous groups? The answer will inform your choice of specialty units.

Hi all, just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for all the kind comments, and the suggestions for development - much appreciated!

If you don't mind me asking, the sci-fi figures from your future line...are they any way related to these?:
.......
Or are these an unrelated project?

No, the new stuff isn't related to those, I'm afraid - it's a bunch of mostly power armoured figures, and a couple of small robot / drones. I'll post pics once I get them back from the casters.

Stunning work, after having tried something similar, you make it look so easy, but it is far from it.
