Finally...the last jig is done, the last template made, all the tools are
ready for a production run... and the original is all back togeather for
some quick pictures.

I'd like to introduce you all to a friend of my Dads and I, this is Bob.

He's very friendly...

Say hi to the nice RPF people Bob...

Hmmm, he's being shy I guess...

Now you all know why the Terra Nova Pistol Tutorial has taken me so long
to finish up :rolleyes
Honestly, you wouldn't believe the ammount of hours thats in Bob. He has
no nails or screws in him, he's all fitted and dowel rod. Each piece is hand
made, no casts, no molds, no vac-forming, and each one will be done the
same way.


In roughly 30 days my "New Member" status will allow me to put Bob's
clones in the Junkyard, so please don't ask me now as I really enjoy being
in this community and don't want Art mad at me. These will NOT be "pay
and we make", we are starting them this weekend with a run of 25. We
have a goal of a ship date 1 week before Christmas.


Car sold separately, battery included :lol

Thats pretty awesome. I love droids and thats one of the nicest build ups yet.
 
Re: Is this the Droid your looking for? Battle Droid *completed*

Very cool, how much does it weigh? Can the fitted joints hold any poses?
 
Re: Is this the Droid your looking for? Battle Droid *completed*

Freaking amazing!!! I can't even fathom how long this wood(ha) take me to build!!!

You know...we never weighed him. I'll put him on a scale tomarow and find out.
As for poses, he stands on his own, the head, arms, for-arms, wrists are completely moveable. The legs can't, so he can't sit. We could make it so he could, the very first prototype we made did, but it's a lot more in hours to make that way.

Wood appears to work exceptionally well with the design.
Fantastic work!
 
Re: Is this the Droid your looking for? Battle Droid *completed*

I always contemplated doing a build myself - could only hope it would turn out half as good as your result. Well done.
 
Re: Is this the Droid your looking for? Battle Droid *completed*

haha I had to read it again..wood!...great job, nice skills you got there mate
 
Re: Is this the Droid your looking for? Battle Droid *completed*

That's insane! Post some details on how you built it in wood. I'd think you'd need a cnc router for that.
 
Re: Is this the Droid your looking for? Battle Droid *completed*

Amazing work, great looking droid! :):thumbsup

Now, sit him in the car and send them over to me!
