Does it work?

You fool, of course it does!

Does look very nice indeed. It's difficult to get right in RA2, because it's such a wierd shape. But you've done pretty well with it. If you put the stabilising bar thing on an axle mount, it had one either side, if I remember rightly. Then the tail could swing over, and the stabilisers would stay put.

Will have to try that in the future, cheers.

NEAT

I couldn't make a decent counterweight without screwing up the drive, so mine wouldn't swing.

I thought I'd have a go at another axlebot, Wheelosaurus. I've done the Series 4 version with the disk at the front. It's been done before and I was inspired by the person who did the other one to use the disks as wheels. I thought I could better replicate the chassis by making it on its side. It means that it lands on it's side when you start a battle, but you can right it and it is fairly controllable. I also figured I could make the dustbin lids and spikes by using more disks.

looks pretty good, i like how you did the wheels

You newer guys are really churning out some nice looking stuff! :D

MassimoV · « **Reply #4045 on:** June 14, 2012, 11:05:25 AM »

Really cool, but I would use iron spikes on the wheels and the smallest DSL bar for weapon.

Damn, I suddenly feel like an amateur in comparison

Probably Rob · « **Reply #4047 on:** June 14, 2012, 12:28:58 PM »

Just a quick one I did of Diotoir last night.

NFX · « **Reply #4048 on:** June 14, 2012, 12:35:19 PM »

Not too bad for a first attempt. Diotoir is one of the trickier reps to get right, largely due to its complex shape, with the wheelguards and pointed front end.

Ducky · « **Reply #4049 on:** June 14, 2012, 01:57:18 PM »

Yeah thats pretty good. I haven't attempted Diotoir yet... Just made some slight alterations to Wheelosaurus. I've changed the castors to proper wheels, added some disks between the chassis and the main wheel (as the real thing seems to have gear wheels here. It also makes my model wider, which it needed). Finally I've also changed the cutting disk to a DSL bar as suggested. I think it is my final version. Oh and thanks for the great comments! This is only my second ever replica, my other being Blade https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,3680.345.html

An almost finished Demolition Demon. It's a pity it can't have a pointy top. Is there any way to get the shiny metal effect as the robot should have?

change the ant saw to the 60 cm saw.

you can probably get a pointy top by putting metal sheets on 2 skirt hinges and pointing them up in the point

and selecting ti gives a nice shine

Ducky · « **Reply #4053 on:** June 16, 2012, 08:49:44 AM »

I would use a 60cm saw but it's a bit too big. It would dig into the floor and the bodywork.

Probably Rob · « **Reply #4054 on:** June 16, 2012, 08:51:30 AM »

While I'm writing this, I'm still making it. Here's what I've done so far.

Mace 2.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #4055 on:** June 16, 2012, 09:05:40 AM »

The chassis is maybe too wide, don't you think?

Yep.

Ooh that Mace is good! I might just have to make one for myself...

Cheers Ducky.

Version 2:

NFX · « **Reply #4059 on:** June 16, 2012, 11:05:15 AM »

Looking good. what I might do is raise the lifting arm motor, to get the angle a bit more correct, and perhaps try to add those flailing things on the back.
