Prime color
Shadows / light surfaces
Weathering details
Chiping
Rust

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...

This is one of the better shots from when I got my wiring complete (yay!) including:


2x Raspberry Pi mirco computers (1st for motion control, 2nd for face tracking)
28x Servos (18 for legs, 4...

This is almost complete frame (except "arms"/weapons) and close to complete electronics:
