Started on the torso a week ago and just continuing it now. Modified my Pipe script to create, en masse, the tubing. Saved me loads of time. Spent lots of time working out how the the two arm engines were bolted into the body structure. Still need to iron things out; this includes the hip section. Fighting the temptation to go and detail the torso. I have to hold out until I finalise the proportions of my legs and arms.
I think the original design had some hint of ‘design’, but I don’t think I want to make this robot too pretty; in fact I want it to be butt-ugly. I was thinking of re-arming this robot with loads of .50 cal Browning guns – they’re staple among the Philippine military forces – but my wife liked the circular saw, which I had planned to remove. Gosh, what do I do. :-)
Switched to Sigue Sigue Sputnik after looking at all my music; nothing seemed to fit my non-mood.
