is pretty scary
Got some delrin rod, using it to make the black bits that sit in the middle of the shoulder disks
that bit in there
Also through the post a nice selection of hex head bolts from scale hardware. the heads on these brass hexes are 2.4mm across.
I got hungry and ate some more of my pork rind so decided to fill in the gap with yet another blob of filler.
next part to make is somewhat complicated
one of my more funny diagrams there. All marked out and staring to cut the rough shape out.

I do! that would be very helpful, can you email me or vice versa let me know what sort of files you can accept and approximate costing. Thanks!

milled all the angles straight
took a long time to mill the 3mm groove out the middle, no easy way to do this, had to take tiny cuts as the 3mm tends to wander a bit especially at this length.
more cuting and hacking and yes I filed the radius by hand
pretty good effort
had to set it up in my swively vice so I could cut the recesses to look like the real thing
and then attach it to the upper arm, the grub screw tightens to lock it in place.

I will do them FOC, as this is awesome.
I work in CorelDraw, so every type of vector or bitmaps are cool. Vectors are the best because if they need white backing they can easily be spilt into the needed print passes.

Thank you 
thats jolly kind of you, I will speak to you nearer the time.
Did some more work on the chest plate, smoothed the edges and got them to a nice fit on the shoulder disks.
and tuther side
got some M2 hex head screws through, took me a while to find them, so finally able to sink them into the disks, 8 per side.
took me some thinking to get my head around this part, I just couldnt think of a way to make it one piece without taking forever about it so I just turned a disk, cut the slots out of it, then made the lower piece and drilled through it (twice) and screwed into the disk to hold it together. you can just see the join.
mind you, he doesnt mind, just look at what a happy little elbow he is! who's a happy elbow then......... to be honest I think all this metal work has sent me a bit strange :s

When do you get to the part when you lop off one or some of your fingers?

Thanks for all your support and praise
metal, hardware (screws, etc) and plastic totalling a couple of hundred so far, not a lot really.
Dont joke about that, not funny
take a chunk of metal (add some candyman)
cut in half, drill and hacksaw the majority of the middle out
square it all up on the mill
angle the edges a few degrees
very carefully make stepped recesses both sides, on both pieces, the same. Each recess has 6 sides, they are not square, took ages to do these.
start turning the wrist
go through the usual drilling, taping, etc. Also used the slitting saw to cut the slot. also had to make a pin that joins the 2 pieces together but allows for it to swivel.
and looks a bit like that
Looking very impressive so far
Probably been asked before but how much is this costing you so far?

But ED209 is sooo much cooler (in my opinion of course).
Edit: but your work is awesome none the less. Excellent stuff.

I think they both look pretty cool. I'd imagine the ED209 would have a lot more glass fibre work and less metal work, so might not be as impressive as this when done.
I want to have a go at making a T-800, but I think that might be just a tad too ambitious for a beginner

Made these little tiny bits out of delrin, they fit on the side of the cylinder.
Now on to more little hydraulic fittings, this is the smallest size I will have to make, the last were 5mm wide, these are 4mm. First cut 4mm down to little 4.5mm high sections and drill 2mm through the middle
Then cut a 4mm semi circle in half and drill tap the sides of the others M2
and put it all together, the other 5mm on the left and latest 4mm on the right
if you hold your finger up to mine you can appreciate that they really are little!
now drill tap and attach to the wrist............ is it just me or does it look like a little bloke having a jive?
also shaped the delrin bits a bit more

I'm beginning to think you're some sort of genius. Been going through updates on this every few days and haven't failed to be enormously impressed every time. As well as jealous!
