This is the second outdoor fun entry level mech warrior. This is following begginer level competition rules from mech warriors.com which is a competition ran by trossen robotics. Rules indicate the robot must have a torso and a first person view camera in the torso or head following the ideal that is where a pilot would be if the robot was built to real life scale. Then you can remotely control the robot against other robots in a real life video game! The first robot has already been started and is 80 percent done and my little sister was jealous and she wants her own robot to play with the guys. Three competitors should be more fun so three ez robot cameras are in the way and servos for their gun arms.
From what I see in the photo, the grey actually helps with the real purpose of camo (pattern breaking)... but for your purpose I would think Pink, White and Red would be nice for aesthetics.
I will let this dry overnight and get back to it tommorow when it is warm agian and I can see better.
Due to certain areas not sticking and flacking off I must wait till this fully dries sand it wash it and then use etching primer before painting agian.
Thats a shame it flaked and wrinkled. Im sure the sanding and primer will work the next time. I have the same problem with photos going sideways. I just have to upload them to my laptop first, rotate then post. :/
Yea I hate it came out like that so I will sorta start over but now I have a idea of the pattern im doing and I will make smaller flexible stencils. In the mean time rad got hungry......
Feeed me!
Nom nom nom cheap oakleys nom nomI have another rad robot body primed and getting an pink paint job. The previous on you see here had some serious finish problems. This is a robot for my little sister as a toy she is 10 yrs old.
Some say it was silicon contaminants on the other body. The primer has not wrinkled at all so thats a great sign. There is a large gauge on top of the head I will cover up with filler. I did salvage three good darts for the original chest cannon to use on her robot. Updates will come for this project soon as it gets that spot on the head filled
You would think I had a robot assembly line in my apartment ha ha. Least my roomate puts up with me dremeling at 2am.
Ok the robot was primed and now painted watermelon pink. Once this has dried a day or two I will add some accents. Green is what my little sister wants so this robot will have a watermelon theme. It will get a EZ Robot fabric paint stencil in green , Aponi (her name) and I will use the fabric paint to add water melon seed accents speckled all over. I may even make a leafy vine going up each side in green too. As you can tell Im making these as Christmas gifts for us all the play with. She said she didnt want guns but I know better. I have two guns ready for when she says she wants to play mech wars with the boys
