Confusing Underleg

So after about 3 days or so i finished the left underlegs' part. It really confused me it was hard to build cause it has these panels in front of the knee...

I post a Gif-Animation again. It is fun to see things moving and better to understand how a part really looks when you can see it in 3D.

The Pads

As mentioned in the last post i added all the pads to the main body:

This time in a Stop Motion Gif =)

The tail

Tail is assembled now.

I will go on with the shoulder pads i think... after that i only need the legs and rikku to complete the model !

Big steps

Ok, the next parts really bothered me.

The next pictures are all about double layers, combining parts, creating pillars...

...and well, the final result =)


I had to create my own stand for the figure (in Google Sketchup). As i mentioned before i don't believe that the legs can take all the weight on their own. So i decided to put the weight on these two pillars. The legs won't touch the ground in the end -there will be about 1 cm between ground and feet- so they don't have to take any weight.

Oh, by the way, the model is still removable from the stand...it is not glued to it.

Here you can see the double layered part on the bottom of the body. Inside of it i inserted the second pillar.

Current Progress [February 4th]

The upper legs and the head are assembled to the rest of the body now:

The robots' body

As mentioned in the last post i am building the body now.
We have this here:


Later we will assemble the Rocketlaunchers (?) like this:

Head finished

Ok, the robots' head is complete. Now the Body will be the next piece i think...

Robot Head

At the moment i work on the robots' head:

All in all the model works fine till now. i hope rikku will be as "easy" as the robot. i decided to build an extra pillar under the body of the robot. i dont think that the legs can take the whole structure...

A new part

Today i built this part of the Robot. It is the part Rikku will lay on later:

1 day more and we have this:

FFX-2 Rikku [Machina Maw]

Ans here comes Rikku... on her dangerous looking Robot. This special "Robot Form" is also part of the Final Fantasy X-2 series. It is a special dress for Rikku.

This time it won't be a "big" project. Only 20 cm high. I don't really have many photos right now but stay tuned. I will post my progress with the model regularly!

Here is a first "test build" of the left shoulder pad:


And one more of the "backblasters":
