1:1 scale M-O from the film Wall-e

[gooses2]

Ive been working the last few weeks on a 1:1 scale M-O(Microbe Obliterator). He's the little guy that chases wall-e around cleaning up after him.

Ive done all the design work in autocad. I then split it into sections which I made individually with chemiwood and stuck them together.

Then coated the chemiwood with polyurethane resin. Next is to sand this back so it's smooth.

Also started work on the brush. Laser cutting the pieces and threaded them onto a tube.

Thats it so far, next week I'm going to finish the head ready for moulding then start on the body.

My favorite character from the Wall-E movie! I'll be watching this for sure!

 

[Ruddigger]

Very cool. What will you do about standing him up?

 

[TOS]

Wow! Great work.

 

[Apotheosis]

Great work, if you get it to follow me and clean I'll buy one!

 

[gooses2]

Very cool. What will you do about standing him up?

I'm going to create a little base for him, then have a metal rod go up through the body.

Will you have the red light-square pop up from the top of his head? Or at least a scribed square to suggest it?

Awesome job so far!
But, you missed a spot. =)

 

[gooses2]

Will you have the red light-square pop up from the top of his head? Or at least a scribed square to suggest it?

Alex

Yep, going to scribe the square on top and the flaps on the back. The thing that is bugging me though is that I can't figure out what this is:

Initially, I thought it was the buy n large logo. Now I'm unsure.

Sweet build, always loved that Lil guy, can't wait to see it finished.

 

[Snow Builder]

Pretty sure you're right, it's the B&L logo.

 

[Gossoon]

According to the "Thinkway" toy, it is indeed the B&L logo.



sorry about the low quality phone pic!

Looks great! I originally planned to make myself a MO a few years back and gathered reference pics at the time. If you haven't seen it, hopefully this pic might be of help. Click for BIG image.

This is motivating me to get back to work on my Eve.

 

[Jintosh]

Yes ! Mo needs a friend. Please finish Eve. I think I'm still subscribed.

I have a sheet of foam ready to go when I finish my current project!

Huh. That lil guy seems familiar. Now where have I seen him before ...
