Yeah. Long time since last post.
I've had a lot on my plate lately so my Droid building hobby has had to take a back seat for a awhile. Main issue has been a little water leak in my workshop space in the basement when it rains. I've had to completely dissemble my workshop so I could fix it. I think I have it temporarily fixed so all that's left to to everything back together again.
Second issue is after assembling the new legs I found flaws in the measurements. So back to square one with that. Will have to make a new template again and get a new miter saw. Current one is decades old, slightly out of alignment and can't be realigned. Once I get the shop put back together again I can start on Legs version 3.
Droid-Con IV is this June, but unlike last time I'll only be attending one day. Need the vacation days for something else.
One new project idea I recently thought of is making the head of the droid HK-47, the assassin droid from the RPG video game Knights of the Old Republic by Bioware. Haven't figured out how I'll make it yet. When complete I want him to have glowing eyes, servo-controlled head tilting and voice track playback. He'll be automated so when you get near him he'll start twiching his head and say a phase from the game. I don't think anyone else has done this before...that I can thus far find anyway.
[Closing Statement] "Will try to give another update soon....meatbags."
