Thank you so mjuch guys. I truely appreciate all the great compliments.
It has been too hot here to take Wall-e outside and paint him today, but I was able to get some base coat painting done yesterday and worked on the eyes today.

I can't think of Wall-E and NOT watch these shorts:

You really need Wall-e holding R2's arm or leg or something and to add some x-mas lights as a play on this scene:

Wow ! He's quite a big bugger isn't he.

Awesome work, the pose you have him in makes him look "alive".

Re: Foam WALL-E. Build almost finished!!!!..

Thank you.

I did a bit more work on him today. I put the wheels on and then the tracks, and I also glued the panels on the arms. Tomorrow i will be working on the front panel.

Thanks, I will upload a video of how easy he can move soon.

Here's some work I did on the front panel today I also painted his neck the proper colour. Wall-e has a flash light inside him that lights up the solar charge panel. I still have to put the red button on, and then some buttoms on the top.

Re: Foam WALL-E. 98% complete

So I was talking to my wife saying how I might build a cooler for wall-e to carry on his back or display with him and put stuff in like a rubiks cube and things when she told me that her parents use to have one just like the one wall-e has. I went over to my in-laws (they live 3 doors away, Can be a blessing and a curse). And look what I found in the basement under some old crap.

 

[Snow Builder]

Very cool. It also shows how well you built it to scale -the cooler is the correct size.

What's the next project?
