Definite kudos to the creativity.

I've been busy redoing my base since I-13 hit. I still have lots to go, and yesterday it was time to work on my Trophy Room. While I was doing it I thought I needed a centerpiece of sorts, something big. Batman always has that giant robotic T-Rex in his trophy room. So I wanted something showy and big.

I stopped doing my trophy room for a bit, pondered, and had an idea. This was it:

Giant Robot 1
Giant Robot 2
Giant Robot 3
And I just had to sit on his shoulder.

I tried my best to use mostly tech items. My plan was to create something along the lines of the Iron Giant. Something looking like a toy robot built from various items and equipment. I also built him to be as tall as I can, using the lowest floor and the highest ceiling.

For concept, I'm thinking he's basically a robot made up of various equipment and parts, built by magic and is held together by it, kinda like a golem. And the usual, hero-stops-giant-golem-toy-robot, beats bad guy, and hero reprograms robot, deactivates it, and brings it home.

Can't believe nobody starred this thread Five stars for j00!

Wow, thanks for all the great comments everyone!

I had a fun time making it, and I'm glad people like it. Everyone's comments made me smile and a few even made me laugh!

With some help from friends (and a few of the suggestions here), I've decided to name him Boximus Prime!

Transformers reference not withstanding, as I see the pic with you on the shoulder of the bot, I think of the anime series:

Big O, Giant Robo, the assorted Gundams....

Whoa...win, win, and MORE win!!

That's an awesome job!!!

One question...

How do you make the items stack and "float" like that? I've had some ideas for other things and I can't do them unless I can get things to stack but they don't cooperate with me.

Duuuuude!

Kudos man! Kudos!

Gah! Was just thinking approximately the same thing. Damn you Warner Brothers!

This may not be the way the robot was accomplished, but the best method I've seen so far is to stack up 5 Large Accent Lamps in a tower that reaches from floor to ceiling, then use the large, white Floor Tile from Room Details. You can slide it up the stack of lamps in 1 foot increments and stack objects on the floor tile at whatever level you choose. Then move the floor tile up or down to the next position you desire and continue stacking items at the new elevation. Suuuuper easy!

Note: you can also stack the Floor Tile onto itself to cover an entire room at a chosen elevation. It has no thickness and everything will be at the same level.

(Not my discovery, but worth telling everyone about. I'll credit the first post I saw of this technique once I find it again. Enjoy!)

Edit to add link:
(Here's that thread link with lots of excellent stacking suggestions, begun by ExChampionPlayer.)

Most good and with 0% suck.

Sheesh...you guys just make it real tough to be proud of my base. (Considers lighting it on fire and collecting the insurance.)

Wow...



Bored much?
