G.day everyone,
Here are the progress photos. will add to this post as we go along.
Undercoated and will get glued on after Wall-e is finished.
Arms and neck are next then his head, Don't worry the robotics are coming.

Love it!
Can't wait to see the finished Wall-e
Hi Guys.
Finished the neck but it was terrible mounted on that cheap plastic tilt thingy so I totally re-made the mechanism using a good standard digital servo an a push rod.
Check the pics a videos, you really cant see how bad the first tilt mech was but it was to gutless a wobbled badly as it will be holding his head it has to be nice and solid. The problem was the plastic piece of rubbish and not the mini digital servo but I decided to use a decent servo as well the second time arround.
Just a tiny bit of detail work to go no his neck.

Videos: sorry for the bad lighting in the vids MK-1 ...no good(piece of rubbish)
The MK-2 neck
amazing
Great , second video the servo had great control
I'm so excited to see what the head!
WHY did you mount the servo vertical and add braces , wouldnt you save several cu inches my mounting the servo horizontally? It would be only a minor change but you will have more room for the ezb, batteries and servos for the arms . If you had this planned in though I don't mean to criticize. Good job.
@jstarne1 You are spot on and I have already done that. I am happy for all suggestions and wouldn't call that a criticism as I'm just building Wall-e as I go along and don't have a plane as such it just all in my head. So tell me how would you make his arms work exactly as the real Wall-e's ones do and ideas on his head are most welcome. Ohh one thing that is very important, no servos are to be visible.
Rich P.S. Please don't yell at me.. "WHY"
This is a totally awesome project. I've been considering doing something similar to get my kids and nieces/nephews interested in robotics. Can you elaborate a little on the tracks? Did you buy them or make them from scratch?
Keep up the great work!
