The box is a mark of genius! The arm looks fantastic. Keep pushing.

So I kept at the clear PLA prints at zero infill (hollow).
Ran this run at 100 microns in high res...nice sleek shinny exterior and a hollow interior.

The paper is the thin kind used for sale receipts.
Artwork is merely drawn with markers lol

So fonzie became a donor.
Continued down the path of hollow parts with the artwork inside..built as one piece mind you....
A tad fragile because they are very fine and very thin...but ain't like its gonna do anything other than stand in a box lol...

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him...

You are a true pioneer! Really cool and luv the chances you are taking. The arms turned out great. Luv that you are taking the concept of the BBP/Kenner figure and expanding upon it.

Thanks Chris!
Actually, I didn't even think of BBP's bionics when I conjured this up - I was thinking more along the lines of the old stuff:

Had to do a photoshoot so I could gather images for my box idea...here is probably the last time the bionics see the light of day once his clothes go back on...

and didn't want to spend a huge amount of time on it, but here is the final design of the Kenner box in 8" scale...

Love the look of those bionics. I assume you went with Fonzie for the arm raising action feature?

[Chris]

Wild! I luv it. The pix of the bionic arms made me smile.

I love it, my Steve custom has a fonzie body as well, you have taken it all to a whole nuther level.

[noelani72]

Thanks folks!
The fonzie body was a mere fluke...I needed a donor for the legs...happened to have one in the parts bin...and once I saw the lever....it just clicked and gave me my bionic gimmick so I could finish my box artwork.
Gotta get it printed and make my chest decal then he can move to finish customs!

Looks awesome.

[kngfu]

Very cool work on one of my favorite heroes

[Earth 2 Chris]

Wow, this is coming along great. I like how you are building in some very toyetic aspects. The Fonzie lever will give it some of that old Kenner fun.

[starsky]

very cool!!

[Neutron X]

Wow! It's looking great! I'm trying to figure out if there is a model car engine block you could use to match the original.
