now that is the best comment tortured robot... (and because of your name as well...) to get my new update rollin´!

in the following pics you will see a newly made (painted and hat donned rivetto...)

also...and i am fully aware of this...i have an update on the walker! yeah you´ve read right... today you get two picture updates to the price of one look!!! you won´t get a better deal at this time anywhere else!

as for the current demand of new steampunky robots... fear not, soon i will prsent you a new update on the current build...

at LDD... love the idea of a monocle and a bowtie... ...i have to see how i might be able to do this...PC or GS... we will see about this...

at tortured again... only a luke warm flame war^^

at fatty.... nice offer...hmmm... have to think about that...^^ sometime in the future...i want to start a new project... i am not really sure what this might be...


at shrike... lol... that is the way i had in mind.... ^^

at galron... will try that methode...

at rogue... thanks mate!!

at dave...

Domo Arigato Mr. Rivetto

somehow that reminds me of a simpson episode...the one with homers mug on a japaneese washing soap...

at shaso...thank you sir!


and now to the for now finished Rivetto...:















and after this little entrance of cuteness...


here comes the current walker status quo...:

don´t mind the clothpegs tho...










the toes will see work as promised soon and also there is plenty of other work still needed with it... this is just the merest shapeing of the vessel...

thanks for looking....yours truly vik

Aww - I guess my friendly mock was short lived! Haha.

Rivetto looks great painted - I think he needs some friends, a bunch of them will look great plodding across the battlefield!

i am absolutly with you to the letter tortured^^ ...and i will hopefully be able to show you a mark II WIP...

Holy rivets Batman!

Vik, have you just completed something in just a couple of days?

" target="_new" rel="nofollow">


Good job sir. I deem the Mk I to be an outstanding success.

Now roll out the other models and get the production mills cranking. There's enemies to be taken care of - the blighters are after the tea supplies...

And the walker is shaping up nicely too

*big grin* LOL....many thanks monkey!

yeah... i felt it deeply needed to finish a project in a sharter time...not something like my other projects that get eventually finished and if so in a geological timescale^^


thanks...and watch out this space for more robots...^^

Great job on all Rivetto looks mighty dashing there with hat and all …….. now he needs some chums to thin the lines of the infer dales …… the walker is coming on well was wondering how you would connect the barrel turned out well and BIG WELL DONE for the paint job

That is AWESOME Vik! Rivetto kicks ass! And the boiler is pretty cool alll mounted up too! For a monacle, why not use your hole punch on some clear plastic? THen a smaller masking tape punch for the center, then paint a brass rim? I'm sure you can find some cheap jewelry chain somewhere too ;

ohoh... the monocle even with some chain attached...ohoh...you guys make some serious suggestions here...will see about that... i still have some of that very thin pC around so this might come in handy here...

thank you dave and LDD... the rivetto was rather fun to do... just pure inspiration and impulse at work here...

Yes, he is a great turn out and obviously worked as a new motivator now build him some chums and cheers !

he will defiantly never walk alone...^^

"good day, kind sir. I shall now proceed to blow your head off, if you don't mind. Cheerio!"

the walker reminds me somewhat of a bird hopping along the ground (In a good way), it seems all that family stuff has gone to your head and now you're making a goldmine of cuteness ^^

it seems all that family stuff has gone to your head and now you're making a goldmine of cuteness ^^

lol one could call it that way^^

or i reached out into the dark and grimmness of the genre and came out the other side...and now i flood the table with sinister cheerfulness and that helpfull attitude that lets oponents use their lives in wonder...

a nightmare for every emo out there^^

speaking of emos, it reminds me of a link I saw yesterday:
http://www.lolhappens.com/17833/im-stuck-in-the-90s-is-something-wrong-with-me/

yeah i read that on your facebook... couldn´t comment on that... but it was sure a nice find... and rather to the point^^

yesterday I was listening to some iron maiden in the car with my brother... he makes a point of putting his earphones in and turning the volume up. I ask why he's doing that and he says "what? these guys are pathetic"
he listens to "dubstep" and "screamo".
I spent the next 5+ minutes staring at him emotionlessly.

the only reason I didn't hit him there and then was a) because I was sat directly in front of him so it would be very awkward and b) he's stronger than me ^^

ROFL... but if he listens to this stuff...how can he beat someone anyway...? i mean...he only is able to cry someone then into oblivion...

Viktor von Domm wrote:ROFL... but if he listens to this stuff...how can he beat someone anyway...? i mean...he only is able to cry someone then into oblivion...

90% of the reason he listens to that stuff is because his "friends" do, 5% is because it's modern and he immediately dismisses everything old as bad (even monty python) and the other 5% is because he's an idiot.

that gives you 100% justified reasons to put him out of his misery... family mercy doesn´t aply here... just say the cops later on that i am ok with your decision^^

*cocks shotgun*

now off you go and make me proud^^

Also do I have permission to shoot his friends?

order...more likley... and i think it is more of a thing of doing a job poperly...

so i get the results tomorrow? and don´t forget... xenoemos need one in the face and one un the chest... better safe than sorry... because...who watches the watchmen...? Us...of course...

YAY! Shrike Is Back!!

Okay, I'm gonna call it a night. Gotta get up at 8:00 tomorrow, and maybe in the middle of the night to smother my brother with a pillow.

That robot is some great stuff. If there's something we can all agree upon, its that robots are amazing.

The only problem is when I Mr. Rivetto is, when I see him, all I can think about him dancing around like Sex Robot from that Whitest Kids You Know skit.

lol... give him sweet dreams^^

i call it a n8 too for now...

You old farts! It's only 8:36 PM!! LOL

A spectacular double feature! Excellent work all around, Vik!

I'm not the biggest fan in the world of a Rivetto army, but the scratchbuilding skills used to construct the lil' guy are commendable! Also, he served his purpose in giving you a break from the walker

The walker progress I'm more excited about! It's really taking on the steampunk look with the boiler on now! I'm looking forward to seeing a finished project soon!

Keep up the great work!
Rawson

not in these parts... it is 2:30 now... which means in short... up to 4 hours till the kids be astomping...

*waves*

so what's next for vik? paintjob for the bird or some friends for rivetto?
