Oh man, and that is only the left leg..!! Have to start all over again for the right one...

 

[Wurger]

Anyway the leg looks great. Did you turn it or you used thin pipes or aluminium foil for it?

 

[aviatik]

Wotjek, thin alu pipes with different diameters....
First I measured the plastic gear legs on their diameter and choose the alu pipes closest to that diameter..the rest is a little bit with an artistic licence..

 

[aviatik]

the only part I used from the kit is the Axle, the curve is too complex to replicated with any other medium..

 

[Wurger]

Grasped.. THX.

 

[Gnomey]

[javlin]

Right now I saw this long lasting thread for the first time. I´m deeply impressed on what I see! I´ll stay tuned.

 

[Totalize]

I found this build today and went through the thread from the falling shelf mishap to the current status. I must say truly exceptional detail work. Well done!

 

[aviatik]
