Again, absolutely jaw-droppingly detailed work mate.

That is some tasty sheat right there. When are you going to do the head?

Makunouchi · 30 Aug 2010 at 16:09

I hate to say it but....the arms look a little short.

Nature of the rotating shoulder mounts, they can be up high or drop much lower.

I love it when this thread pops back up on the front page of GD. I always think, 'Oh I wonder what he has done now'.

Very exciting.

Been watching this model unfold since you started and its been a fantastic display of attention to detail and master model building. Inspiring and the work of a very talented metal worker, and I just don’t know the correct superlatives to pass on to express just how amazing this bit of work actually is.

Amazing skill, and I can’t wait for the next instalment of this absolutely stunning bit of work.

Thank you all for your continued support, 2 arms done, 2 to go!

Turned the 2 shoulder joints, these fit to the shoulder disks.

cut and shaped to look as close to the picture as I can get

then the end cut flat, drilled and a pin mounted on the disk.

Building Candy · 4 Sep 2010 at 23:53

I was originally yes, but I need to do the head first to see if there will be any space left inside the body for it.

better make 2 of these

and one of these

decided to finish off the shoulder cover from the 2nd arm, i forgot about that

back to the 3rd arm

and all fitted together you see where im going with this

Candyman, when did you first learn and pick up being able to work with your material?

Building Candy · 5 Sep 2010 at 08:53

I always had ideas of how to make things but never actually did it till I was about 22. As a child I was always making things out of technic lego and things like pop up cards for peoples birthdays and christmas.

Awesome work dude.

Bri · 5 Sep 2010 at 11:39

Wow, just wow. Just read through all of this thread and am in complete awe!

Got it fitted up and attached to the shoulder disk

cut 2 blocks for the next parts and turned some disks

spent a bit of time rubbing everything down with 600 gritt to get that satin smooth finish. Most of the other parts ive done I havnt bothered yet but I wanted to do this arm as it would be on the finished model, most of the aluminium will look like this. This arm is tough to make as the original is just a piece of molded plastic so I have to think up ways of joining the parts together without visable screws etc.

again this was hard to do, the tiny screws not real on the puppet, mine using tiny tiny M1.6 mm screws and nuts.

attached, note they are on both sides,

counter sinking holes so the screws, again M1.6, sit flush with the surface.

making another 1 or 2 of these parts, had to use the slitting saw to carefully cut the slot

2 more, nearly done in their pre-rubbed down state.
