Who would've thought that Hell would exist ... and that it would be in Germany?

Just a little (written) update:

I started building the legs but they don't .... look that good at the moment. I'll post pictures when they're done. 

[Reply #121 on:]

I started building the legs...

Yay! 

... but they don't ... look that good at the moment. I'll post pictures when they're done. 

Aww...

I'll just... ooze... back out under the door now...

[Reply #122 on:]

Ok, ok ...  

Ps.: I'll change the right leg again. It looks a bit strange the way it does.

Say what?
It's a work-in-progress; it's supposed to look that way.
It seems to be developing quite well.
Not that it's any complement, but it's light-years ahead of anything I could produce!
Keep it up - and thank you for posting the image.

Looks good

[Reply #125 on:]

Thx, but I'm not that happy with how the position of his legs turned out. Unfortunately I ruined one of the screw nuts on the left leg so I can't get it off anymore (what would be necessary to bend the leg again) and I don't like the right leg at all and since the materials I used are only worth a few cents ... I think I'll redo both of them. 

[Reply #126 on:]

Ok, I changed my plans. I will finish his upper body first before I finish the rest of him because I'm not 100% sure about the legs at the moment.

There will be an update later (or tomorrow...).  

PS.: Happy new year 2010. Perhaps there is a chance that I'll finish the model this year.

[Reply #127 on:]

Well, regardless what you think is going on with the legs, it's coming along smashingly. The proportions look good, too.

PS.:  2010. Perhaps there is a chance that I'll finish the model this year.

Now you're just being cruel.

[Reply #128 on:]

I decided to lurk around the fan-art board, and I have to say that you're doing some fantastic work Bender-1729. This is probably the most in-depth fan-work I've seen by a PEELer. I'll have to remember this when the PEELies come around next week.

[Reply #129 on:]

Thank you, i_c_weiner.  

@ sick pickles:

I'm happy with the proportions but I don't like the pose of the legs. They just don't look like they did in the drawing.



You see what I mean? ... Anyway ... here's the promised update. I added Bondo to his upper body which is now a perfect conic barrel.

[Reply #130 on:]

Hmm.. maybe if you kept his right leg bent, but straightened his left leg out at an angle.. so he's sort of.. gesturing with his leg? You know?
/vague

a perfect conic barrel.

PERFECT!

Sorry, I didn't have much time this week.   

I hope to continue this sunday.

You can't rush art!

[Reply #135 on:]

Sweet mollassess of awesomeness!

[Reply #136 on:]

I go away for, like a wekk, tops, and you go and just about finish the whole project! I missed out on quite a bit. Ok, not really. But still, you've gotten quite a bit done since the last time I visited your thread. He looks fantastic. I couldn't do better myself, not even with clay, which I can at least halfway work with.

[Reply #137 on:]

Hi everyone!

Just in case you're wondering: Unfortunately I still have a lot of stuff to do at the moment which keeps me from finishing the Robot Devil project but I'll continue as soon as possible. I just wanted to let you know! 

In the meantime Robot Devil spends his spare time at the windowsill next to my computer looking at me ... which is kinda creepy by the way ...   

[Reply #138 on:]

He's probably plotting something, something ironic no doubt.

Well, who would have thought that, "as soon as possible" means nearly 1,5 years ... but I went through some serious sh*t the last few months. I'm sorry!

Anyway, I just decided to finally finish the project. That's why I drilled the holes for his arms and painted the upper body today.

Stay tuned for more updates.



Ps.: Robot devil spend his 1,5 years of vacation in a display cabinet next to my Darth Vader helmet ... Nice couple.

[Reply #140 on:]

Wow, your Robot Devil looks really great!

It'd be _also_ really cool if you show your work in the German forum (I'm also there) to bring more activity since there isn't much up. Thought of this because you'd shown your Robot Devil also there.

[Reply #141 on:]

Nice 1729! Loving it so far.

[Reply #142 on:]

Update:

First I added Bondo to the lower body.



Then I sanded the whole thing and drilled the holes for his legs ans his tail.



and ...



I also tested the color for his arms, legs and his neck. In most scenes it's a red which is darker than the rest of his body but sometimes it's almost brown, so I took a very dark red. What do you think?

[Reply #143 on:]

Looking amazing, very nice job. Looking forward to seeing it finished, clool ...

[Reply #144 on:]

Wow, he's looking great! Can't wait to see the finished product

[Reply #145 on:]

Thx everyone!

I just had an idea about "the other arm". Maybe he could be holding his top hat next to his head with it. Which of course means I would have to build a top hat, too ...

PS: I already got an idea how to build it.

What do you think?

[Reply #146 on:]

I think that's a fantastic idea.  It's nice to see this thread again.

[Reply #147 on:]

Just a quick paper model to test the size of the top hat.

Ok?

[Reply #148 on:]

Looks wonderful!

[Reply #149 on:]

Das ist wunderbar!...

[Reply #150 on:]

I was just wondering whatever happened to this thread/project the other day. It's looking great so far and I'm glad you didn't give up on it.

[Reply #151 on:]

He looks upset that he doesn't have any arms or legs.

[Reply #152 on:]

Wow, he's looking great! Can't wait to see the finished product

Second. Seriously, that's a fantastic looking model. Perhaps when he's finished, you could work on a forty-foot-tall version for your back yard.

It seems to have took him long enough to make this one.

[Reply #154 on:]

Art takes time, especially models. It can be a soul destroying task...

[Reply #155 on:]

I just noticed that there would be a problem with the top hat. It would be too heavy the way I planned to build it. :P

I think I'll just build an "ordinary" arm first and then come back to the top head when everything else is finished. Since the arms and legs will be mounted with only one screw nut it shouldn't be a problem to replace the right arm later.

By the way, I'm making progress with the arms but I don't know yet how to build his hands since the base is conic again. :P

[Reply #156 on:]

(Little) Update:

I bought new color today.

Since I couldn't get the same color I used for his neck before, I had to repaint it, too. :P

[Reply #157 on:]

Looks great!

[Reply #158 on:]

Sweet!

[Reply #159 on:]

Looking good!...
