It was really cool looking at the ‘how they were made’ pictures. I especially likes seeing the pictures of the printed instructions and the partially completed work. I guess the printed instruction came in handy.

They certainly did!

That wasn’t the only way that computer power helped on this project either... most of the base/armature engineering was done in CAD (I forget the brand but it’s industrial strength stuff, ProE or CATIA or something) by Steve, and we used a LDrawn partial head model that Steve did to get the brothers to come out looking similar. (there was also the usual PC stuff for a 21st century project... lots of spreadsheets to estimate and track things, submit expenses, lots of email and discussion and filesharing, formal project contracts and status reports and documents and lots of other mundane stuff)

Thanks again for your help, Bob. I particularly appreciated how you were so willing to tweak things when we ran into resolution/placement issues with Bricksiac early on, that really helped us out a lot.

Note for Rob Hendrix’s benefit: Dremel power also played a (small) role, we still have more pics to post...

Quite a few non-purist materials and techniques came into play for the
construction of Tony. Just off the top of my head:

-welded steel
-bolts
-wood
-carpet
-cardboard
-concrete
-glued Lego
-cut Lego
-melted Lego
