WIP: 1/2 scale WALL•E

[Firefoxm31]

This looks great, fantastic, even good even ...over here in the states we have a product called Rustall that will produce the same result...I've used it many times on my Nautilus replicas, it's real rust so you can't go better than that...

I am just seeing this thread and my god this is one of the finest pieces of work I have seen in a LOOOOOOOONG time Vos.

My son would love this

Thanks guys

I know Rustall...it is great for scale stuff. We have something similar here called 'Scenic Rust' It's a ***** load more expensive than standard iron powder though, and as you can see, I am creating A LOT of rust.

I've finished the other half of WALL•E's head, just gotta join the 2 halves together:

I've also made a start on his neck. It is currently foam, clad in styrene and ABS tubing, but I'll eventually cast it in one lump of reinforced resin for strength:

Neil,

That looks perfect!

Once you are finished you need to sculpt a Hal Roach to sit on his shoulder.

I just realised that I have been watching this thread with my mouth open, eagerly drooling over updates, but I haven't said what a fantastic job you're doing! This is absolutely delicious.

Please keep the progress pictures coming; I need my fix!

Easily the most amazing Wall-E replica I have seen so far! I love it! :love

One detail I noticed a lot of Wall-E builders miss is Wall-E's "Nose" aka where the laser is between his eyes.

You probably were already aware of it, I just thought I'd point it out, just in case

This is the best picture I could find at the moment:

Arafinwe,

We haven't missed that. infact when I was in the process while building my WALL-E I did start making the eyes and nose.
The problem is that I didn't have as much information then I our club has now.

My build is just a shadow of what the new builds are and it surely doesn't cast any light on Neils build.

I can't wait till this one is finished.

Oh man. This is turning out just SO wonderful. The detail in the finish is absolutely impeccable!

Good for you!


For Christmas, the kids got the Ultimate Wall-e from ThinkWay Toys. Just this evening they were zooming him all over the place.

You should be damn proud of yourself. That's beautiful work. Just beautiful.

 

[Laser Brain]

Thanks a bunch guys. I wish I had the know-how to make my WALL•E remote control.

While the silicone surrounding the neck pieces cures I made his nose and joined the 2 halves of his head...

I've finished the neck and mounted the head, which can move from left to right.

Apologies for the dark photos.
