PauliusLiekis Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks! Why can i not buy this and why has no company offered a resin casting. There is a poor resin cast, but it's a really crappy one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauliusLiekis Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Happy New Year everyone! I finally found time to get this project going again - there isn't better time than a night of New Year celebration I hope to get a better camera soon and make a final photoshoot.... Here are some older picture about what happens when your 3D printer messes up your print and shifts half of a piece. Anyway, there is no thing that saw, glue and putty can't fix ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunchMunch Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Freaking amazing! Fantastic job. As someone with a 3D printer that has yet to get anything to print, amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauliusLiekis Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys! Painting the robot was a lot of fun. I've done these layers: Prime color Shadows / light surfaces Weathering details Chiping Rust Weathering sufraces Oil/dirt I overdid the chipping, but that's what happens when you're doing it for the first time Edited May 31, 2016 by PauliusLiekis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman1942 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 OMG what an awesome build. You are really showing what can be done with a 3D printer and a ton of skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauliusLiekis Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 BTW: people at a maker fair though it's made out of metal. Maybe the chipping is not as bad as I though. LOL. One of the goals of the project was to make the robot move in the nice, fluid way. A lot of work went into things that can not be shown by photos - coding and preparing the moves. To make it even more fun I had to redo some electronics - the robot stopped working after just sitting idle for half a year Anyway during the preparations I prepared a storyboards - my final animation was supposed to resemble the original movie: I turned my flat into mini photo studio for a couple days I'm not a photographer or filmaker - using a tripod is as far as that goes but I decided to try using a couple of spotlights and a smokemachine The smokemachine turned out to be harder than I thought. You basically have to know how to use it. Having a good camera dosn't gurantee making good photos - the same for a smoke machine. Anyway, I needed it for making photos of the lasers, so it wasn't completelly waster Oh, and I haven't reallized that smoke from smokemachine raises straight up. You need cold smoke in order for it to sit on the ground, so I had to improvise that. 5 liter bottle filled with ice cubes served as cooler for smoke: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauliusLiekis Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 To celebrate the new Ghost In The Shell movie, I made a video about how awesome the tank in the old one was! I loved how it looks so much that I built a robot from scratch and I tried to match the motions as close as I could. https://vimeo.com/212772719 BTW, the robot in the new movie is not as cool, calm and menacing. Although the rest of the movie visually is amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
