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

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

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:

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.

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.

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!
