MekTek Grizzly

Surely my Grizzly will take more to finish then a couple of weeks. To be honest, I didn't have time to work on it, but I'm posting some progress pics of the sub assemblies done till now:

I pinch a hole on Grizzly torso, so I can make it movable and can disassemble it to store, the second pic shows the torso and hip attached:

These parts are very important, and weren't too hard to build, although they are smaller then a finger nail. They are the joints between the legs and the hip:

Here I'm holding one of them where it belongs, you can see the size of the part. The fitting is perfect Smile

Getting closer and closer to the finished model. Looking realy awesome. You did yourself and Matthew proud with this.

Eagerly awaiting update on this! I spent most of the time I should have been doing homework in the eleventh grade on completing GBL, favoring the Grizzly whenever possible. Seeing a Grizzly with some bulk instead of the twiggy MW2 model makes my heart flutter. Very Happy

Finally I did finish a custom made joints set; it includes, besides the joints, new parts with the exact joint placement at them, to make cutting the holes easier.

The joints set will allow 3 articulation points on each leg (leg/hip, knee and ankle), torso, and arms joints.

Glad the RCA joints made it into the set. Very Happy

I'm gonna have to get started on it the moment it's all released.

Awesome work shift. Did you manage to find the high res texture for the model yet ?

Almost done:

Major sub-assemblies done:

Ams glued in place, as well the arm joints (the roseish color of the joints is by lack of blue and yellow ink color on my printer, and I'm too cheap to print other parts...):

Torso and arms in place:

Sexy legs:

Wowsers! I think that is your coolest looking one yet. I would ask for an ETA, but I know you can't rush genius. I can't wait to add this one to the army.

I'm in love with those leg details. I'm already splitting up the pieces in my head between cardstock for durability and printer paper for small folds. Very Happy
