I can’t remember if I’ve outlined the project before but in brief I am making 3 or 4 small toy robots based on the above designs, and then a large scale version of one of the designs that would be like a display model in a toy shop or something. The small ones are to be sculpted in yellow foam and then cast in resin and the big one sculpted in chavant and cast in fibreglass. The ultimate aim is to make my part of the show look like a section of an actual toyshop by casting out and packaging loads of toy ones and printing up graphics and stuff.
I spent 2 days carving and sanding this guy in yellow foam. He’s obviously still not done, I need to finish the horn thing and make another one, even the feet out and generally tidy him up but so far I’m pleased with it. I’m figuring out all the armature dimensions from this today and hoping to weld the steel frame next week.
