"INVADERS!"
I 3D modelled this last year during lockdown with the intention of finishing it to celebrate Voyager's 25th Anniversary. Unfortunately I didn't quite get around to finishing it off in time, so this is in celebration of the 26th of Anniversary of Voyager and the newly opened Indiegogo campaign for the documentary.
The main body with integrated side arm pauldrons is all one piece. The front access panel is 3D printed separately. There is a thin piece of shaped 1mm thick styrene inside to back the eye and speaker cut out. This was easier than trying to mask and paint it after painting the main body silver.
The wrist gauntlets, grabbers, leg covers and boots are all separate resin printed parts.
The legs have internal acrylic rod supports and are covered with the material that lines the thermos/cool bags that you would take on a picnic.
There is wire in the arms to give support.
One thing I had planned to make by hand from 1mm styrene was the speaker cover between the eyes and the front access panel. It proved to be a tad fiddly and getting it cleanly stick to the main body was proving to be trickier than expected so I opted to leave it off this first version and in my head canon justify it as being damaged by Captain Proton! :smile:
I've since tweaked the model to have the speaker hood integrated.
The original robot from the series.
