marco Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Some time ago I merged a rare robot head of a Jalisco saving bank together with the body of a star strider and that one turned out very nice. Time to add a second variation to this, what will become, a series of Rare custom made star striders :) ! Number 2 in line is Topolino Star Strider. I have plans to add some other variations to this special star strider series, and I will make a maximum of 5 robots of each variation. Ok, back to number 2 now: Topolino Star Strider. Of course everybody who is into robots will recognize this one of a kind head of Nomura`s Radar Robot ( aka topolino robot ) I found an original head some time ago without the ears and nose and I decided to buy it. I designed the ears and nose in Fusion 360 and 3D printed them in high resolution to complete the robots head again. From there i made a 3D Scan of the head, printed that and made the exact blue color so that the head would match the robots body. added the blue with airbrush and handpainted ( I respect the japanese more and more ) the details..the handpainting, jeez its so dammed difficult... The result is a second member of the special force of star striders: Topolino Star Strider. As with the Jalisco star strider, I will make a very limited series of 5 pieces each.. The robots body is tinmade, original metal house and works with shooting guns and walking action. Have all a great weekend ! CHeers Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
