Thanks! 

Made some feet and ears out of brass this afternoon. I think I will go with a few brass parts, it looks ok. I think if I make anymore I will make the feet a little larger.

Beautiful work, reminds me of 20,000 leagues under the sea diving suit.  

 

I love orange robots, copper ones even more!  Brilliant work.

Thanks morbius. Yes I thought at the time I was experimenting with the rivet effect that it was starting to look like a deep sea diver! 😂 

Maybe Foki was originally based on one?

I will maybe make a couple more if this one turns out ok. As I said, this is very much just a trial run version. Once I have all the templates and sizes and the best methods/ways to make it and  put it together etc written down then the next one should be a little easier. I think I may make the ‘normal’ size foki also in copper and brass. I am thinking that the bigger one is actually easier to make at the moment.

Wow that looks amazing !!

I'm partial to copper & brass in a general sense

but it works exceptionally well in your execution 

If you have a list please add me to it 😎

😂 yes, folki  art! 

Waiting for a few bits to arrive in the post so I just had a go at casting up some white metal hands. Well, one anyway. It came out ok. Seems to be just the right size for this particular robot. Now I will remove the sprue  and go and cast another one up if I get time this  evening. 🤖 🍻

Great job! How did you make it? Can we see the mold?

Cool...I seen youtube videos on sand casting, even Robotics Age magazine in the 1980s had an article on sand casting 

as an option for making robot parts. interesting....🤖
