Mech/Exoskeleton Build (Full-Size )

[GMer56]

has anyone ever told you you're like a mad scientist?

these builds are very cool though

I'm more an Adeptus Mechanicus kinda guy lol:



Spending all weekend working on the mech, gonna have a fun video Tuesday... hopefully.

 

[TurboCharizard]

Oh god now there is 2 of them!!!

Some fun about building TALOS

No officer, I swear the bicep isn't inspired by the MJOLNIR Mk VI !!!



I lied.

 

[GMer56]

I've done it bois! First inter-DIY robot punch!

You knocked its block off!

 

[GMer56]

Did you know the adeptus mechanicus have facetime? Brought to you by a Phone Microwave (name subject to change). In 2 tasty parts

I also got a custom hat

No pics, but it looks like Marduk will be on display at a regional fair in a few weeks (setup 21st & 22nd). Just waiting for the fair bois to send me the contract.

 

[GMer56]

Hoo boy things have felt a little hectic since I brought Marduk to the fair.. barely fit in the building BTW.

And I was invited to attend the Vermont Pumpkin Chuckin', where I'll have free range to drive around and do whatever thanks to a death & dismemberment/injury clause in the ticket contract. So I took the opportunity to overhaul the cockpit:

Oh, and try looking at nyemechworks.com

 

[GMer56]

Do YOU have faith of the heart?

 

[GMer56]

New control mechanism in the mech makes compound movements easier!

I'm envious on the progress so far. If I had that kind of money and cash, I would make my own car at this point!

This project is a little misleading: I've spent maybe $2000 or so on it since 2016. It is surprising how inexpensive parts are... if you don't mind using them for unintended purposes.

Here it is driving around a field: I was running low on phone battery so the recording was a little short:

 

[3DVagabond]

I know that it costs even more to make a car, but creating the one with the features I want will still cost north of 10,000. That robot is still pretty cool.

 

[GMer56]

After driving the giant robot around I've been brainstorming some... alternative means of locomotion.

 

[GMer56]

Used some of the stuff I learned for Marduk's new joystick controls to overhaul the LUCKI Mk 1 to version 1.2.0

I think I may steal be inspired by the yggrasil for the armor paneling.

 

[GMer56]

I forget if I made a Yggdrasil file or not, so I threw one together anyway. (I'll post obj files when I've cleaned it up a bit)

Spoiler: Spoilered for gif

Specifically scaled for the powerarmor frame (I hope). 1 Shin is 37 pages D:

 

[GMer56]

I made a new crane for mech assembly.

The winch motor failed because the motor brushes got full of crud. I took it apart, cleaned it and now the motor works, so now I got a spare high-torque motor. Maybe I'll use it for electrical propulsion for indoor use.

Oh, and posed the yggdrasil model

Not sure if I'm gonna start out with the yggdrasil chest first or not (need to do a cardstock mockup first?) but I definitely plan to use the arm/leg design for the powerarmor. Also might need to modify the backpack so it doesn't squish my head when the back of the armor opens.

 

[Spartan Warrior]

Dude, your mechs are so cool!

 

[GMer56]

Got the paper templates on the armor. Might need to the helmet smaller.

 

[GMer56]

I started work on the hud, after recording I turned up the computer's voltage and the framerate got better.

And I play with both arms at the same time and waffle about what this year might bring:

1) Finished Yggdrasil Powerarmor (LUCKI Mark 1)

2) Finished Marduk

3) An event sponsored by a local charity wants to host a giant robot competition. Charity gave approval for non-combat events, still waiting to hear back about combat approval. When things are more nailed down, the event organizer is even gonna help me find competitors & stuff!
