AV-98 Ingram - Patlabor Gundam

Rhaven Blaack · May 27, 2016

Here is the finished "pelvic" section.

I attached the legs.

I set my coffee cup (which is half again larger then an average coffee cup) next to the legs to show the size.

This is the beginnings of the "torso" section.

Here are the beginning photos of the "torso" section.

I mounted the "torso" section to the "pelvic" section.

The hands are attached.

Rhaven,

Great project you're working on!

Looks incredible! :Bravo: thumbsup The work with the hands portion is outstanding! :bowdown:

I'm sure your son will enjoy it once you're done with it.

Hope you finish it in time for X-mas!

Thank you for the compliment! I do not think that I will have the entire project finished before X-mas. I still have quite a bit of work to do. I am planning to build the patlabor maintenance facility for it as well. When it is finished, it (should) look (something) like this:

Here is another update. I have finished the lower part of the legs.

On to the upper part next.

I have decided that I am not going to use the stand that comes with the kit. Instead, I have decided to use the maintenance bay that Julius has made for it (as a display stand). Here is what it (should) look like once I am (COMPLETELY) finished.

I like your solution better!! The pdf is openable..but the page you wanted had a glitch, maybe with the layers..works fine for pdf or anything but opening! But ..I don't let little things like that stop me...if you run into something like this again..give a holler...may be I can help.. I have it broken down to individual pdf's...when opening page 9 to inkscape...it wanted to allocate 6,291,456 bytes to open...it crashed

Thank you! The reason why I chose the maintenance bay to display the Patlabor robot is because I think that it looks better and adds another dimension to the model as a whole. I will start the maintenance bay once I start finish robot. I will be posting photos of the build (of course

)
