I've been wanting to make a custom Mego Twiki from Buck Rogers, but couldn't decide on how to do it. Originally, I was going to use a 5" child body with a cloth suit. It wasn't working out for me, so I decided give a nod to the 12" Mego walking Twiki and make a hard plastic version.
I 3D modeled a robot figure using LightWave. I then had the model printed on a 3D printer. It's constructed so that the shoulders, head and legs move. Dr. Theopolis will be removable. I've still got a little more tweaking to do, along with painting it silver, but it's on its way. I'll post pics when I finish it up.
