Hello all, so recently I've started on a life-sized replica of a protectron from the videogames Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. I've been taking many pictures of my progress these last few weeks so I will make a few posts in this thread attempting to give some details about how I've been going about this so far. First I started with in-game pictures and a few drawings that I got off the internet. I decided that when it is complete, I wanted it to be about 1.5meters(5&1/2feet) tall(I work in the metric system because its easier to do proportions). I'm going to be using cardboard, alluminum rods to stable the legs, and hot glue for the basis and body of the robot. I am not going to add all the details yet, because when I complete the body my friend and I are going to fill in all the gaps with bondo and smooth it all out to reinforce it. Then we will proceed to add the details like grooves and vents by sculpting with the bondo and sanding. First I started out with the feet of the Protectron so I could build from the bottom up. I looked at the shape of the sole of the feet, did measurements and proportions, drew them up on cardboard, and cut them out.
