monster rider challenge

i  enjoyed making that hat

made from super sculpey, vaccuformed styrene, cast resin parts,
a crap load of bondo, some metal sheet. this guy was a multimedia
nightmare

i tried to make a helmet but when i vaccuformed the arcylic huge bubbles formed in
the dome. the lil starfishsquid guy's controls were going to run
into the helmet. right now i'm not sure who's driving


why the hell would you strap a hermit crab monster to
robot legs? this makes no sense



he's a little fragile . i was going to have a guy at
work who's a great photographer do this guy right but
i was afraid of something breaking in transit before documentation.
these photos aren't the best quality


the straps are elastic bands like in your whiteytighties with little
bits of sheet metal for the clasps


you can see the  vise clamping the steel support that runs through the right
leg. see the " escargot" thread to see more of the early stuff.
i worked so fast that i didn't take time to document as well as i'd like
