Thanks!
Zoids is a great idea, especially their add-on packs. I have boxes of stuff that I can use. I'm working on the plans for the arms and legs now. In the end I hope to have his ams articulated and his legs. Currently the chest lifts up to sit a 25th Cobra figure. Hopefully over the holidays I will have some time to work on it. |

Series 2 Manga Spawn is something you may want to look at for arms and legs. Don't know how large it needs to be but thats what I had in mind at one point. Was gonna keep it simple and just pop off Spawn head under helmet and put on Joes head and still utilize helmet.

Interesting idea.
Great way to make a smaller version!!! However, I already made the body so a Joe can fit inside. So it will be big 12" tall or so. Not sure if they made Manga Span in the larger scale? Manga Spawn is very organic which cool. My robot is very angular which I think adds to the fact that it looks "Man-Made" rather superior alien technology. Like Cobra is making a crude version of a Transformer. Thoughts? Gota tell you these are great points, it always help to get different feedback and ideas, thanks for the comments. Keep them coming. |

Often Target, TRU and Walmart put out the "bargain" toys under an odd name Cool Toys or what have you. You can often find larger scale robots that may have light and sound features also that you mat be able to build around.

The guns on thier arms in that picture look like Gundam Heavyarms or MS-07B Gouf Custom could easily supply the right look for that gun.

another idea is the super-cheap Gundam knockoffs at Big Lots.

I have been looking in the "Private Label" isles in the stores. I have rummaged through Big Lots as well.
We're on the same page. The best thing I found for the joints was the Darth Vader Transformer, it's 12" scale with decent articulation. That is what I am using. Plus various parts I have found to glue on as detail. I'll post some more pictures on Monday, thanks again for all the help! |

Here are more pictures.
From these you can see the scale and how a driver fits inside. I couldn't wait so I started working on the gun for his right arm. You think I should make a custom driver? Or should it be the 25th Stinger Driver? Last edited by amaro; 11-19-2007 at 03:34 PM.. |
