Re: Three Legs are better than Two
Well, HOORAY! The etchings have arrived:



And some of them fitted:



View through the door:



Added an 8" howitzer from a 1/35 scale kit I picked up cheap in a charity shop:



And decided to add a two-part opening hatch in the roof, partly for restocking the weapons, but mainly so there's a way to see all the interior detail:



More soon!

Re: Three Legs are better than Two
That's really good, it adds so much finesse. The hatch is definitely a good idea since hiding all that would be criminal - can you also get a light in there?

Re: Three Legs are better than Two
Hoping to get some lighting in it- probably use some flickering LEDs fromelectronic tealights.

Meanwhile, I have started on the hatch:



Closed, and open:



It has been suggested that it should be a three part hatch, to go with the rest of the design: I don't know, two doors seems more practical...

Awesome, the etchings really make it work, and add scale to the otherwise slightly toyish bot

Re: Three Legs are better than Two
Had a go at a three door hatch:



And open:



Works rather well, and goes with the trilateral symmetry of the whole pice!

Re: Three Legs are better than Two
As it stands tonight, at rest with all hatches open and the weapons lowered:



And on the march, weapons raised:



Not sure what to do with the extending arm- wrecking ball, claw, morningstar?

(though probably not a sink plunger...)

The extend-o arm should have a wrecking ball morning star that unfolds into a claw.
Obviously.

I do other things, too.

Re: Three Legs are better than Two
Possibly a bit mundane, but I think a three-clawed gripper would be good on the end of the arm - it matches the three-ness and it'd be good for picking things up and flinging them :)

Three-fingered claw seems to be the way to go!
