Blueprints for the real Marvin android

[TheSt.LouisKid]

I saw that steaming pile a poo made last year and was wondering if anyone knew where I can get plans/blueprints for the real Marvin who was only given a brief cameo with no lines in the new move.

On the left, the true Marvin. On the right ...whatever. thanks.

Blueprints.....Brain the size of a planet and all they ask for is blueprints....Life....It's utter rubbish....

Just for the record, I loved the new Marvin.



Consider this a friendly bump.

This is a poster from years ago. Might be something?

Huge Picture

(For the record, I love BOTH Marvins, but have always wanted to build the old school costume)

EDIT: Here's a good shot of the tape deck on his chest that I've never been able to find. The real suit is in the BBC studios in London.

Anyone got ANY measurements for the BBC Marvin? I went to his new home in Ealing Studios last summer (see attached pic) and totally didn't think about taking a tape measure.

However after a LOT of working stuff out, I'm pretty sure of TWO things:
1) Marvin is six feet tall (I'm 5'7 3/4") - in the photo Marvin is on a platform of about 2 inches.
2) Because he was built in 1981, it's a fair bet that he was drawn up in Inches and feet, as a lot of his proportions seem to fall into place for a 6 foot robot.

Been getting a friend to work on the hands. Pretty much there now. Waiting for the first print.

Keeping a close eye on your progress Kangazang. I would sell my granny's ashes for a fiberglass Marvin head if you ever get round to printing one up.
I would love to have the paranoid Android's head sitting on my sideboard with eyes lit up and a speaker inside repeating Stephen Moore's phrases from the show.

Hi, the head is currently being modelled. It will be 3D printed by an independent maker. I'll ensure it's as accurate as possible before we print any. If you like the look of it when it's ready, I'll hook you up with the guy doing the printing - I won't expect any money for it, just pay the printer.

Very sad to hear that Stephen Moore, who voiced the original Marvin on radio and TV died yesterday at the age of 81.
Life, don't talk to me about life...

Yes, very sad. I was working on my Marvin project when I found. out. I feel complled to finish this even more now.

Good visual. Looking forward to seeing that piece in the flesh.
Found a t-shirt to keep me on target and remember Stephen in the meantime.

Somethings up with your link...

Stephen Moore was excellent as Marvin.
Just perfect.

While Alan Rickman did a fine job, Marvin will always be Stephen Moore to me.

While I can recite from memory many of his lines, I never recognized his voice on Dr. Who.

RIP
