Hi everybody,

the new borderlands game is coming and to celebrate that, i've decide to make a decorative claptrap ! for my gaming room ;)

The finish claptrap will mesured 70 cm.

I'm using MDF ( wood also call "medium" ) to make the structure and some details.

I have forgot to take pic of the first steps : making plans, cutting parts etc

So now pics :





i glue the wood and use PVC screw to consolidate the assembly








here you can see the beginning of the arms and next the weel that will go under the claptrap




The build is not 100% accurate because i like to change things and make my own design ;)


Hope you like it

Anybody can make an exact replica, because the original had already worked out the handwork, when you make it your own, you enter into art, as long as you don't blow it ;) great job so far! I have all of the official claptraps as of this typing so with a new game maybe more clptrps keep up the good work

Was going to comment before that the asymmetrical parts riveted on reminded me of the bandit-hacked claptrap from the first game a little. I always like seeing people put their own ideas into a design instead of fussing over making it exact, plus there are already more than a few variants in the games so it's not too far-fetched to make different parts. Looks even better with the paint! He's been through a lot, it looks like. : )
 
After two games I still can't decide if I like claptrap or not, and I probably won't buy the pre-sequel. But it's easy to say I like this build! Looks real good, you going to make the eye light up?

In one of the pictures above your post there is a shot that has a metal rod that connects the robot to the base I hope this helps ;)
