I just got my second EZ-B in the mail today. Now I am working on my android Jen. I am using parts from an Elvis alive and going to make molds from a manikin for her skin.

She will have many motors per arm for an amazing range of motion. Making her walk will be a huge undertaking. I found some powerful linear actuators that I hope to use. I was going to build a full scale Cylon robot, but I think an android will be more of a challenge.

Wow... once you get past the sunburned skin condition look, it actually looks very good!

I imagine realistic skin color will be tricky, but you could always use blue tint and a white wig and go for the Andorian look... That way you can also make moving antennae:) And then there is green...:P

It does look better with skin. lol At least she looks like a she. lol I need to mix the color in good too. One problem is the latex is already orange, so making it the right color will be harder. I need to buy more latex soon and a ton of plaster and clay. I need to figure out how to make her smile and frown. So much to do. I am also trying a few things to get her mouth to move as she speaks.

Nice! Keep on going. I am watching you. And yes we are also learning from this idea!:)

@Gunner If I gave her green skin I would make her look like Dot from Reboot. I wish they would make a Reboot movie or just bring back the show. Reboot was made in Canada. @Chemcool I hope you share your work also so we can both learn more.

Yes! Dot would be perfect:)... and more appropriate due to the robotics/programming applications.

Nice work!

Now I need a 3d model of Dot from Reboot. My brother was in love with Dot. He might come and take her if I build one. His wife would make him bring her back. lol

I am saving to buy a 3d printer and saw this cool video about a full scale human size robot being 3d printed part by part and built. This thing is amazing!

I hope to have the money for a 3d printer in a few weeks and then the wait for them to send it to me. Then epic robot building!

Also these parts are a free download if anyone want to build his robot or use parts of it. He does this for everyone who want to build one. You will need to print them or have them printed. Something this big, buy the printer, it will be cheaper in the long run.

The info on that 3d printed robot was on here a few days ago, it looks awesome provided you can get the printer to work like it should. It's what I plan to use as a base for my next project but that's ages away yet so I'll be interesting to see how you get on.
