Claptrap Progress!

John and I are back to working on poor, long-abandoned Claptrap from Borderlands, since we'd love to debut him at MegaCon next month.

Remember this guy?



No time for commentary, since we're hip-deep in this and other projects, so please to enjoy a bunch of my build photos up to this point!
















Eat your heart out, Vanna White.






Oh yes - he IS wired for sound.

 The better to annoy you with.



At this point even I'm having a hard time telling what's 3D and what's just paint. SUCCESS! :)

Still have TONS of painting to do, plus John has to make and attach a kickstand and handlebar (I'll be pushing Claptrap around.) Stay tuned for more!

  7. Even though I am not and will be never be a do-it-yourselfer (it's just not amongst my skill set), I am always in awe of what you two create; plus, your tutorials are the best - so thorough and selfless (in that you make it possible for others to follow in your footsteps without expecting financial gain). It makes me want to be a DIYer, but all I'd ever create would be half-finished (ok, at best, half-finished) projects lying around taking up more space than is necessary!

  8. How amazing! I agree with Michelle M that it would be super cool to see a matching cosplay with it! (easier said than done, I know.)

  11. So amazing! When you are at MegaCon, look for my friend Josh Ulrich on Artist Alley. He is an awesome comic book writer and artist and just generally cool guy :)
