Back from the dead...

… and... Matilda's flywheel is about to get imprinted with the Robot Wars logo. Now, to fine-tune the horns on her crest.

I sent in the USB drive to a data recsue company after accidental formatting... hopefully they can reconstruct the data in their laboratory. I'll post the progress in this thread when the time comes!

I'm sorry I haven't kept this thread up to date, but the data is clearly lost. Sad, but true. Instead, I'm going to focus on building my very own house robot in my other, more recent thread!

... and the WIP is back to life!
« Reply #105 on: June 28, 2019, 01:17:08 PM »
First the bad news... I have completely lost all the work of my Matilda WIP I was working on last year... so that WIP is... well... "axed" and now Rusting In Pieces.

The good news though is... that after more than one data loss from my USB, I am now using at least one extra USB drive as a backup. Just in case I lose all data again.

I am now planning to either rebuild all the house robots from the original series, or the reboot. I will let the community decide on what I should model, the new or old house robots.

I'd start with the old ones first.

Some time ago, I secretly started modeling on a new Matilda chassis, based on her eighth wars design from 2016 (not the white horns, as in the ninth and tenth wars in 2017). I will post renders when relevant. Now, back to modeling.

They're done. Been wanting finish them since 2010. Then the original one's was in my mind. Now, ten years later the new one's are finally done. No textures (I'm not really a texturer, but rather a modeler).

Why thank you CodeSilver! Like I said they are finally done. I might as well do some fine tweaking on them later down the road :)

Meanwhile, here's Sir Killalot, warming up... I guess XD

Hoppin, I made a mistake there. I didn't think about that there are barely any other robotic communities out there talking about Robot Wars and such... I mean if you exclude Facebook.

I like how these look although dead metal looks a little barren and killalot could use some red eyes

Although these are based on the new one's, not the old one's. I might make the old one's someday :smile:

it would help a lot if you could put the image in your actual post. you're attaching the images correctly, just click on the 'insert attachment 0' button and it'll put it in your post. it won't show up on your preview but it will work when you submit it.

Dear community...

It makes me kind of "frightened" to see how LONG this WIP topic has existed... like, 7 years? Wow...

Anyways, I thought I would blow the dust out of this topic by saying that I AM working in Blender on a brand new model of Matilda right now! I will be making the house robots after all (no deadline set, yet...) as they appeared in 2016 to the present day.

Right now my biggest challenge is to actually model them, as Robot Wars themselves through Facebook replied to me, telling me that the plans for the house robots are highly classified...

But I won't let that stop me. I WILL be making them :smile:
Kind of funny, this was EXACTLY three years ago now. That was when my interest to first build the new one's came to mind.
Best Regards,

Skull Kid

The modeling process of the old one's begins!

The first five, plus Refbot (Matilda, Sergeant Bash, Shunt, Dead Metal and Sir Killalot) will be easiest to make thanks to the Robot Wars games (Robot Wars Arenas of Destruction and also Robot Wars Extreme Destruction), so I'll make them first. Then onto Growler, Mr. Psycho and Cassius Chrome. And maybe... also two other less known house robots that was used after the battles... :)

Matilda's first.

Might I ask, how did you open the Extreme Destruction files?
