3D Transforming Optimus Prime

[Lord Libidan]

Well, the title says it all really, its a 3D articulated transforming Optimus Prime action figure that can change from robot to truck cab.
I used a series of different things to make it, but it all started from a sprite from an online game, so i thought i'd put it here.
If anyone really wants the pattern, i'll need to fiddle with it a bit (make some improvements), and write some instructions, but without further adue; enjoy!

WOW That is so cool. I would never even have thought of something as clever. How did you do it? Was it very hard?

[Lord Libidan]

harder than i thought it would be. and i'm never ever doing it again. its just that hard. although glad i did it... glad you like it though, thanks

[johloh]

thats really cool, never seen anything like it. great work!

[WhoDatIs]

How the hell did you do this? It looks Bad A and I'm not even a huge Transformers fans. All my friends are though.

[Lord Libidan]

thats really cool, never seen anything like it. great work!

thanks, i wanted to try something i hadnt seen before. makes a change, right?

[RenaeNaeMarie]

Wow this looks great! How did you attach all of the pieces so that it could transform?

[nesdude]

That's incredibly awesome. I'd love the pattern for it if you ever get the chance to make the improvements!

Did you use the plans from a papercraft model to make this? If so, it's a good idea. It might be worth looking into other papercraft models that could be converted.

[Lord Libidan]

ah servotron, nothing gets past you. that was the initial pattern base, yeh.

and i'll get the pattern out as soon as i have some time to finish it off.
