More Tommy updates


The lower legs and feet are done! I started on the chest-mounted gun as well, but no caps of that yet.

Updates [Tommy]



Today hopefully marks the first day of me getting properly back into the swing of things. Maya is working on the new computers, and I was able to get in this afternoon and do a few hours of work. The 'Ancient Aliens Megazord' files aren't opening on the new machines, and I hope to get that sorted tomorrow.
For today, I've made some progress on the Tommy. After some minor adjustment to the shoulders, the arms and hands are in place. The main work for today involved placing some basic blocks to get the size and proportions of the legs right, after which I focused on the pelvis, hips and thighs. I did possibly far too much work on the hip and thigh cylinders while they were at the odd angles you see above, before realising I should have done said work before putting them at their silly angles. Ah well.
Anyway, I'm happy with where those parts are at the moment. Jobs for tomorrow [aside from getting those Megazord files working] will be finishing the lower legs/feet/tank treads, doing the weapons [the larger handheld one and the smaller body-mounted machine gun], and putting rivets all over the damn thing. Probably a few more mechanical details here and there.
If all goes well, should be another update tomorrow. Stay tuned.
