First time attempting a replica, so here goes. Presenting DIOTOIR!



3mm Ti. Based on the Robot Wars series 3, 4 and Extreme 1 version.  May submit this for Thyrus' Middleweight pack too, but much like the actual robot its performance is somewhat suspect :rolleyes:

As much as i find Diotoir effing UGLY, that is a pretty good build for a newcomer.

You probably lurked.

@Everyone: Thanks for the comments :)

@Badnik96: Is there a thread for this, as i'm certainly interested, although I know nothing about it.

@Naryar: lurked for maybe a week before signing up, had to make sure it was worth it ;)

Cunning plan didn't have wheels on the outside, IIRC. But it's not too bad, it's quite a simple rep.

My second replica, Raizer Blade



Based on the Series 3 appearance:


And quite possibly my entry into the Replica Wars 2, presumably going in there as utter cannon fodder. :bigsmile:

5mm Plastic armour, and pretty much everything is visible. Wasn't much I could actually play about with regarding the internals, hence my cannon-fodder ambitions.

I used the same photo as the comparison one I posted. and using Paint Shop Pro 7 (aka Vintage PSP :P), I scaled, skewed and manipulated the photo until I got the right angles and such for each side of the body. tbh its not as good as it could be, i'm limited by the .tga having to be 256x256, but it's something I enjoy doing, and honestly would like to help others with skinning their replicas  :smile:

A challenger appears...

Think about it though... Sonny's knack for skinning the components and making the robots work right, plus his ingenuity, combined with DSC's skills at skinning things that would take forever to do by hand, this could be a great match for replica making.

@DSC: Just remember that Sonny is still replica king though ;)
I built that big robot on that TV show that time
