Toy Factory COMPLETE



It all started as a bunch of wire and goo. Now, it is the most amazing thing I've ever had the pleasure of creating.



Here's my 1/4 done pic of my toy. It's bones are coat hanger and wire, his organs TIN FOIL! On occasion I had to use a vice grip to hold certain parts firm as I sculpted the main parts.




Completed phase 1 raw before baking. I needed to do my bot in stages as to end up doing it properly without going too far away from my original concept sketches.



Look at his jet pack BLAST OFF!



Phase 1 bake. It took about 20 mins to harden properly. After it was done I let it cool for about 5 mins then continued on with phase 2: Detail Work.




Phase 2 Pre-bake, I added in the antenna detail, the jawline, shoulder pads, joints, and his big legs and feet.



It's coming along nicely, so far there has been few problems. The mohawk burnt a bit on the tip but not very much. I was still able to keep it together. Bake time: 15mins



I managed to use my left over can of Warhammer citadel primer. There was barely any left in the can but it was just enough to cover just about all the main parts to paint.



Me going nuts trying to cover the black undercoat with my dark red acrylic. I had to do 6 coats to get it to cover properly. 3 coats dark red, 3 coats my own blood from slitting my wrists. What a pain in the ass. The end result was well worth it.

AND DONE
After 40 hours of conceptualizing, testing frames, sculpey tests, drilling the base, wrapping wire on the frame, connecting it all together, finishing the skeleton frame, applying the sculpey, refining it, adding detail, painting, inking, touching up and finalizing everything. IT'S FINALLY DONE! WOOOHOOOO! Now... The good stuff.



BE AFRAID *Robot sounds*



The head that comes off. The ink really brings out the detail. GREAT SUCCESS!



The front of my mohawk sporting badass robot dude. What a crazy mofo!



Back details, the jetpack has a little grill on the bottom to show that it is indeed a jetpack. It's either that or his lunchbox or a 24 case of Molson.
