Crazy! but made a ROBOT

Join me today to see just how crazy I can be.

I posted to my blog yesterday a pile of funfoam I was cutting out 

had not finished even the cutting out when I posted that . There was 

just under 100 pieces cut of all shapes and colours

My adventure started when Neal was on Hack a Day blog

and found the link to Boxmaker blog which had the inkscape 

extension. Soon as i seen it I thought oh I know what I want to make.

After working out how it all works I then sat on Sunday night and

inkscaped and worked out what I needed to cut 

(including trying to work out how to have the joints for the 

boxes to join together )

YESTERDAY I woke and started cutiing what I had made so 

far. (I did have to recut and make things along the way as you will see)

While waiting for Neal to go buy me more fun foam I started to sort

what i had cut already.

First thing I hated and knew it needed to be redesigned and 

recut before going any further was the legs  way to small

for the rest of the pieces

Then time to see if the idea of the joining parts would 

work (yeah they did)

Legs now twice as long and happy now

starting from feet up  and two legs  look good with base

Now for the body, one good thing is no glue so you 

can pull apart and put back together as you go

if things need tweaking BUT one bad thing is sometimes

it would fall apart while making too . 

Body went on

Put arms on BUT NOT HAPPY with them they are too 

big YUKKY

Put that aside and made up the head . None of the glues 

would stick the funfoam eyes nose and mouth on.

Think what now  ?

Oh I know I pulled apart and used little brads

Worked really good

So I gave him gear ears as well

Nearly done BUT hated the arms still

Pull the front panel off and add the gears in the 

there as well 

Now that is better

But hate those arms

Amputated the arms

Recut some more  OH much better

Good thing  I am happy with his arms now

By the way incase you are wondering he is 

12 inches tall 

Please let me known what you think. Enjoy 

 

 

I am off to  explore some more.
