this is just a small project which be build in the last days...

When wee see the trailer to Disney Pixars upcoming animation film Wall-E wee knew that this will be the theme for a new project...
because it reminds us a lot on the old Nr.5 and wee just love Wall-E on the first sight....:-)

So wee grabbed an old Gamecube which stands here around doing nothing and started to mod him in a Wall-E style.....


First wee build a movable platform out of a child toy and a rest of Plexiglas.
Then wee build a cover for the Front ports and attached it to the Platform so that it can hide all ports when they are not needed. In use you just pull down the cover and plug in the joypad....

The Gamecube itself is covered with a thin layer of acrylic which wee airbrushed like the original wall-e.
The Arms were made out of some plastic and plexiglas tubes and rods. The arms and the hands are both moveable so that wall-e can take up various positions.
The Eyes were made out of several acrylic layers which wee put together and bended a stripe of plastic around it. The mounting plate for the eyes is bended out of some metall which wee attached to the backside of the cube.
