hey all
well i had a massive weekend and had a huge progress with bender.
first i bought 2 magic eight balls which i used half the sphere for the eyes and painted them a pale yellow. i also painted the inside of the eye box black as well as the board for the eyes to glue on. i bought 2 pvc 80mm pipes and with a heat gun bent them both for the legs to give the effect he has.
i fixed the eye box into the head and filled in any gaps and cleaned the head so it is ready to be painted soon. i cut out 1mm stryene in the shape of the mouth and also painted it. i fixed the two legs into the feet i had which were 2 x 300mm domes. im currently working on a way to fix the legs to the body, atm its abit tall and needto cut off about 5 inches off the legs. i gotta say this thing is looking amazing and after working on it da after day it looks like the real thing.
i was going to write up a cuircut board for the servo to rotate at certain angles but ive decided to use an rc controller and move the head when i wish, i thought this would be cool at conventions and it makes me be more involved with it.
hope you enjoy the pics
