I don't presume to be any one to give anyone advise on anything, but it does look like the legs are a little spindly. Love the feet....

Yeah, Dave, is right, it's the cockpit. Also, do you plan to make the "panes" on the front clear so that you can see inside the walker?

Is it a scout or heavy walker?

ROFL... i know what you mean... it might be that unconcious i am not willing to put more effort into this model because of the not really fitting parts...

on a totally unrelated note...

..It's just like pudding and sausages are also both great, just not together.

don´t knock it till you tried it... do you know the hooters? not the dames that are a bit top heavy...i mean the band...

i guess it is something in the middle of the ones you thought about... the panes are ment to look like later on lite from inside... and i do think you are one of the few persons out there that can give lots of advice on walking vehicles^^

Nope, the only Hooters I know sells crappy chicken wings, but the waitresses are all well-endowed and wear little orange shorts.

i know of them ^^ but i ment those singers..."all you zombies" doesn´t ring a bell?...hmm... thought they were americans too...

Hey Vik, you must have missed my question in the constant flow comments. So let me repeat my plea:
Dude, show me your tool! Err, that sounds wrong... I just want to see your hole punch, that thingy that you use to poke holes into other thingies... still not better...just show me.

I dunno, your Country is crazy over David Hasselhoff too, not so much here. There are a lot of American bands Vik, hard to know them all. Anyways what about them and pudding and sausages? I was just trying to make a food example

does this help baiyuan? i got mine from OBI...for around twenty €s... and i do insist to buy a good one as the pressure you use literally folded a cheap one while trying to make it work on leather... and it is supposed to pucture that at least...

with mine i can puncture PC and cardboard and thick layers fo leather...no problem there...mine is red by the way... but i think my too...er...is not really needed to be taken a pic here... you can of course PM me for the real mccoy...^^ if that is what you want...


at dave... i only had this fleeting memory of one of their songs... "don´t knock it till you tried it..." but was unable to find it via youtube...:( and yep... hassleghof is yucky... i only came to know of him due to baywatch...and we all no the only reason a guy aged thirteen or something might want to watch that...the waves dude...the waves...^^

Wilco is my favorite bad btw, they tour Germany more than my neck of the US anymore it seems

hmm... the name sound familiar but i don´t know any songs of them...and true... so many bands out there...

New robo-gent looks fine vik You really are on a roll with these guys, keep it up.


And Dave - you don't like sausage cakes?

I think it depends on the local music scene in a city or town nowadays.

-Everyone knows that 2-3 companies own all the radio stations, and American Idol crap is polluting everything. People quit listening/watching and go local, that then hips them to certain bands. Wilco is from Chicago, so relatively close to here.

ah so... well my own rockstation suplies me with the much needed rock i have to hear... and mostly classic rock at that^^ so it is failry a good one^^

at monkey... thank you kindly sir^^

Vik, that's what I got. I was exaggerating how many sizes it punches.......

oh... i was worried a bit ^^ but you might never know for sure... after all there are eight shots revolvers out there and five, six and heck what not ones^^

Vik will embark on a quest to steal this epic (purple) weapon of mass-riveting whatever the cost!

lol...



got it^^

hmm, i think the ringmaster might be my favorite robot yet he look awsome

I liked Krull, why is it listed in the bad movie section?

Oh, I've been looking for this thingie for quite a while... What's the name of this tool?

PS:
I liked Krull too

Everyone loves Krull they just don't admit it classic it of its day hell I even liked willow as a kid …….


I have a tool similar to this got mine from home base years ago works well (UK dwellers will know where I mean) not bad little thing but some times the rivets are not small enough but then I found some craft paper punches perfect for the job

Whats next on the robot front I am thinking you need to start looking at the HQ front ….. some communication medic ( mechanic in this case ) standard (large walking flashing neon billboard) musician (I see a one man band type creation here ) and your general (this is where the monocle comes into play

The reason I have no thread is I am thinking up ideas for this all the time LOL …….

Vik, I think you need to build a quartermaster-bot! He could be half DSTs Vending machine and half espresso machine!

at max

I liked Krull, why is it listed in the bad movie section?

i think it is because of it´s age... some peep confuse age with a fading quality... it is rather dumb... i liked the movie too... it has all the major ingrediants same as star wars... in fact it is almost a one to one copy of star wars set in a fantasy world...even a hairless chewbaca is there^^

at RW...thank you mate! i like him atm the most too...because it is a learning curve...so in getting (hopefully) better the build matures too^^

at rawson

Vik, I think you need to build a quartermaster-bot! He could be half DSTs Vending machine and half espresso machine!

lol...i like that idea already... besides...a quartermaster should be a bit wider around the hips anyway^^

at LDD...

I even liked willow as a kid …….

me too!!! there is a whole range of movies like the drak crystal or others that i am atm not remebering from that time... does someone remeber space pirates? with robert urich? pretty bloddy awsome funny movie... and their funny fearsome robots?^^




well anyways...^^

i like your ideas...and yeppers, it is time for some HQ ideas... your´s and rawsons idea i will try to bring into some shape today i think...^^ i wanted to do some servo arms anyway in the future... also i like the way you are coming up with the musician theme...tho remember..steampunk has no flashy neonsigns^^

and if you could show us a pic of your holepunch i would like to see that...as i too think sometimes the rivets are too big for my needs... smaller would be nice to make via punchset...

AND...

The reason I have no thread is I am thinking up ideas for this all the time LOL …….

that´s protecting you only so long!


well aynway again...

the newest footage of the soon completed kit for the built-yer-own-rivetto... new version of torso...new boiler try... that one even has planking look...


and because some of you asked for a comparrision shot:

the family as is for now...witha gueardman and a termy thrown in...


oh...and shrike, who got banned due to some misunderstandings for some days...

the new rivetto's torso seems a tad wide- maybe it's the body not being tall enough or something, but it seems rather boxy.
other than that, great work as usual!

so hope you like what you saw...if not...well stick it where the sun does not shine

vik

LDD, you are full of gak.

er...^^

The family love it did not realise how big the heavy was he is a big bugger aint he looking good almost inspires me to start my own thread

Space pirates never seen that one but looks a corker of a film yes I remember Dark crystal as well good old puppetry those days are missed

I love the half espresso half vending machine Idea that is a good en and a must, yes forgot about the no neon oil filled lighting then

Dave you can eat my gak lol

...unless, LDD is REALLY some sort of undercover law enforcement agent from the Bureau of Welding, Fabrication, and Rivets trying to infiltrate us and tax our rivets....?

DAM !!!!!! MY COVER IS BLOWN




DOWN WITH RIVETS LONG LIVE SPOT WELDING HAHAH AH AH AH AH


No sorry love rivets they make a model every time

tax our rivets....?

wtf???? i am poor already... why is the taxagency on me now like chesap armor??? ohoh...woe for mecuase i am a true riveteer...i am not guilty for anything...you never get me alive!!!!!

er...

i guess the scaeshot was indeed needed... as the heavy indeed dwarves all other minis... might be in need for a redo?

Dont worry your rivets are safe …… for now at least

No I like the fact he is bigger after all he is the heavy ….

hmm^^ well where would i be without all my rivets...^^
