S5's new friend... WIP

Post by R2-S5 »

I figured I finally got substancial work done that I figured i would post a few pics of my new little friend. I just spent the past week filing, driling and painting and placing screws in him.

here is a picture of his outter feet.

Image

His center foot and leg.

Outter legs.
Image

his dome drive system installed after moving it around a few times.
Image

test fitting his utility arm for clearance.
Image

finalized body with arms attached.
Image

Adding the inner dome and ring to him..
Image

here is a view of all the silly hinges and moving mechanisms in him so far.
Image

and then the backside... i probably went over board with the hinges.

well considering I bought the dome 4 yrs ago... i wouldnt hold your breath on any lightning fast updates. hehehe. He has been a very slow process but i wanted to make sure he will do what i wish I could get S5 to do.

not to pick on ole s5 he has definitely earned his place.. but there are just a lot of things i could have done better that will be with this one.

well like i said that all depends on if people are really willing to travel all the way to beloit for an armor party. I know the location is pretty bad for a lot of people. but if people are interested. i would be willing to do one.

so.. does he sit in an unlocked garage or anything.. i mean.. umm... yeah... and how hard would he be to put (sneak) into my car? :) (and then would you come finish him at our house if he managed to lose his restraining bolt and make it down here? :) )

heehee.. seriously.. GREAT WORK so far! he is going to look AWESOME!
