Thank you 🙏
I have actually been making them for some time now. It all actually started with a contest on Printables three and a half years ago. It was a toy car contest I believe, and I wanted my entry to stand out so I decided a hippy van transformer was the way to go. It was very crude, didn't win the contest, nor did it deserve to, but I had ton of fun designing it and I've been scratching that itch ever since.
i have more of a philosophy and approach question- Where do you start? I can design a car, I can design a dude... but how do you approach it knowing they have to work together? Thanks!
I always model the base item first. In the case of Fudgement Day, I modelled a solid fudge-pop first (far left in pic). Then I adjusted the length and cut it into rough pieces. From there I take it limb by limb and fight for every mm of room I can get while trying to make everything fit.
Thank you. The Assassanana was a popular bot for me last summer. It's due an upgrade though. The joints on those older bots don't hold nearly as good as the joints on the new series.
I love these out of the box ideas so much! I envy your design, I have a very practical and mechanical mindset and lack the creativity for something like this. Well done!
