I have the pictures of balamb and galbadia in case you would like those to.
Please tell me if you decide to do any of them

 

[Orthanc]

Actually I especially need Garden reference pics. I don't have a single one. Thanks for the videos, but still photos are still preferred, especially since I don't know how to save the videos from YouTube to my computer

 

[Stormrage]

Saving YouTube stuff?

I`ll fetch you a link to a thread that explains that, when I digg it out

 

[HunterAnubis]

Im not sure how to upload pictures here so it would be better if you gave me your email so I could send those pictures to you

(not sure if this will work)

 

[HunterAnubis]

you can always use hypercam 2 to save video and everything on your screen or use MWsnap to cature whats on your screen

if you need more pictures Ill try to get you some

 

[Orthanc]

Send me more Garden pics via PM if you can find anymore, if you can';t I'll try to work with these (when I get there).

Meanwhile, Rex has begun! *ROOAAR!!!* Ahem, well there isn't too much done yet, but I have the waist, joints between the waist and the legs, and almost done the kinda awkwardly-located laser. So here's the 1st WIP preview, and a little something related I found on deviant art while looking for more reference pics (I should draw a Coca-Cola version to compete).

Orthanc,
can you show me a pic of the thing you are making? Whatever it is, it's looking good (nice prism )

 

[Orthanc]

Here's a real model someone made of it, it's called Metal Gear Rex. You can't really see in these pics the parts I've built already:


Yeah the blocks are just boxes with a boat-load of other boxes subtracted.

 

[Stormrage]

The pepsi one is great!

And yours is coming up great too! w00t!

 

[HunterAnubis]

sure but whats pm?
Oh man if my PS2 wasnt broken I would record you 3D model and send it to you by mail

 

[Stormrage]

PM = Personal message. Top right corner of the site

 

[Orthanc]

"Whose footprints are these?"

Yeah, so a new Orthanc unit is out! A PAIR OF LEGS!

*Ahem* Anywho, so got most of the legs done. They still need the real feet, the retractable heels, some flap thingies, and of course, you know, a TORSO. I've also cooked up a new set of camo textures for this unit, and with an inane amount of moving parts (there's 13 already at this stage), this is definately looking to be quite a unique unit for Mr. Boat Man over here.

I never thought I'd say this about a pair of robot legs, but those look pretty badass.

 

[Stormrage]

Woo! Kicks ass!

Odin - its actually a vehicle - walker*

*no, not the texas ranger

 

[HunterAnubis]

hmmm what is that REX missing.......I know I know pair of bots!!! I knew I would figure it out

great work so far

 

[Orthanc]

Woo! Kicks ass!

Snake: The new Metal Gear.

Colonel Cambell: Yes, it's Metal Gear... NORRIS!

Snake:

Colonel Cambell: Yes, a pair of massive, armored legs. It doesn't need nukes, it just roundhouse kicks its target for the same effect...

 

[Stormrage]

 

[HunterAnubis]

I can say only one thing at this moment

Otacon: Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

 

[Orthanc]

Legs are all done, still working on the head, but got enough of the basic shape down for an update to be warranted. Jaw/Cockpit, 'engines' at the back, Radar-thingy and Ginourmous-Uber-Rail-Gun still left to do.

What's interesting is they expect a mostly male military population to be able to control a walking robot, that's essentially wearing high heels. Thank goodness those are retractable...

 

[Stormrage]

Yeah, but the has a huge dangling.. laser between its legs...

Metal Gear Transvestite!
