I love it that you got his personnality in those poses. I think that's what makes him so adorable in the movie..

Re: Foam WALL-E.
Thanks, I have been playing around with different poses and I think the one with the hands flopped down in front of him relaxed is the best for a static display piece.
the arms are a little lower then I want them, but they are just loose on the shoulder bar at the moment. I will fix them slightly higher once I have painted and am ready to glue it all together.

Re: Foam WALL-E.
I am thinking of making the wrists twistable.

I can do this simply by making a tight fitting tube system.
This way I can pose him slightly different whenever i want. maybe even put a rubiks cube or something in his hand.

Re: Foam WALL-E.
Wow! It's incredible how dead on this looks. Great job. You're really capturing his personality.
Keep going!

Re: Foam WALL-E.
Thanks.
We had a huge storm today, lots of electricity in the air, so we got the balloons out and had fun sticking them on the ceiling. Wall-e was fascinated by the ballons.
After doing this with wall-e I have definately decided to make his wrist twistable. I may even try and make his neck move. It is just so much fun being able to pose him.
I have also decided to start saving up for the EZ-robot kit, that way I can make the eyes move.

Re: Foam WALL-E.
Thanks. I am now busy working on the tracks for Wall-e. This is proving harder then I would like. Mainly because I am very low on foam. I am having to use every little scrap I have kept. Kinda sucks when you can't even afford $15 for some foam lol. Oh well.
Not sure how I am going to build the skeleton structure. The cosmetic foam pieces will be now problem (as long as I have enough scraps).
Here is what I have so far. This is one complete track all ready to be installed.
First I had to measure out the shape of the track system. This was tricking I had to measure the tracks on a picture and work out the difference in size to the rest of wall-e in the picture then transfer those measurements to the lifesize wall-e I am building and go from there. It was kinda fun. Then I cut individual track pieces and layed them out around the template to see how many I would need.
By familyman1312
Then I set about glueing the track pieces together.

Once dried I curved the track a little just to see how it looked. I am happy with the over all look of it.

Re: Foam WALL-E. Working on tracks.
Your creativity never fails to inspire.
Have you thought about putting together a book? Cut patterns, step-by-step instructions, in-progress and project completion photos, etc.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Re: Foam WALL-E. Working on tracks.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Heres a great tip for people, NEVER!! throw little scrap pieces of foam away. You never know when you might need just a little piece.
If it wasn't for all the small pieces I have kept I wouldn't be able to do the second track until I got more foam (which could be a month).
Here can see some of the scrap pieces I have kept, and I was able to make another 47 track pieces, Just enough for the second track.
