Merry Christmas

hi everyone,

i just want to wish all of you a merry merry christmas and you know... all this stuff everyone wishes to his/her viewers at the moment ^^

So what's going on at the moment?

-I started the right boot of Vanille. And i tried out another method to build it, because i thought that it would be better and easier that way. ... I was wrong -.- ...
I think i will finish it in the next 2 or 3 days depending on how much time i can afford.

-ok what else? hm i got my 800ml bottle of glue for christmas :D:D ... and paper too.

-oh and the maintenance faciltiy thingy for the patlabor robotsuit is finished. i will upload a photo later..


that's it so far. Please stay tuned =)

Vanille WIP 9

Left leg finished !

After ...what was it.. 4 days? I finished Vanilles' left leg. I hope you like it =) I would like to get more feedback about vanille. Don't be that silent!

Vanille WIP 8

Hi everyone

i continued the work on the left leg today, and i recognized that it bent in another direction than it should because of the glue and the 3 layers. So i decided to attach a horizontal plane at the height of ~20 cm which forced the layers back in position:

I have to add more paper stripes to hold it in place but it works =)

Vanille Wip 7

Leg arrangements

hey everyone,

before i build the second boot, i want see something new. so i decided the left leg would be the best thing to build next.

i am not sure how much support it needs to hold all the weight of the body. at the moment i use a method containing 2 additional layers at the inside of the leg. here is an illustration:

1: outer leg layer
2: horizontal small stripes (i add them vertical too sometimes)
3: horizontal big stripes

i think the inner side of the leg will be compressed more than the outer side. so i will maybe add a 4th layer at the inside there.

so far so good, let's see if it works...

Vanille: Left Boot finished

3 days later and the first boot is completed:

Vanille WIP 6

Hi everyone,

so after a lot planning and designing on pc i started to build the first piece of vanille; her left boot:

The first part of the boot.

Here i am gluing the top to the rest of the boot. Fits perfect !

I want it to be as detailed as possible

This is how the boot looks from the inside. All red areas are 4 millimeter thick cardboard to reinforce the boot.
