Last night I had a breakthrough with mini robot head design. I was trying
variations of the basic MegaTurtle

I thought the reversed Grevious head looked pretty cool...but it needed an
eye. I toyed briefly with the idea of trimming a sticker into a sort of ‘cool
robot sunglasses’ shape, but it would have looked rubbish, My next idea,
swiftly quashed, was to paint on a set of optics. I’d backed myself into a
corner, and it looked like I’d have to use something other than the Grevious
head. A real shame, as it looked rather cool, I thought.
Just as I was about to give up, inspirado kicked in.
Clikits string! Wrapped twice round the front stud and secured somehow at the
back of the model. I tried it and was amazed to find it actually worked.
If you’d like to see more of this technique, there are some pictures here:

I still need to change a few bits on the robot (better feet, nicer shoulders,
some kind of backpack, a splash of colour), but I couldn’t resist sharing
this with my buddies in .mecha

This looks so cool. You’re the small mecha genius.
Don’t get it wrong, small is the attribute for mecha!
It’s really hard to do such fantastic looking work
at this size!
I love your work

| (...) Thank you, Marco! I plan to make a few changes to this (as yet unnamed) robot over the next few weekends. There are still a few areas I can improve, I think. I'll post a proper announcement when it's complete. Pete (18 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
