Fantastic

Well, the build has been on a go slow recently, due to the time of year. Dashing here, popping there putting the lights up outside etc etc...
Today has been a good day - approx 4 hours in a cold garage with some classic Chas n Dave belting out. I'm not sure but the singing along may have kept me warm.
Anyway progress on the right hand foot continued and a mock up of ST-80 standing on 1-leg.




This was followed by cutting out the parts for the left leg, nearly ready to start the progress again. I wonder what I would be working on if the original legs were scale size and not 75%!!!!!

I've got Monday and Tuesday off work, so in theory I have 2 full days working on it - but the vibes I'm getting from the wife says different. I shall have to try the Jedi mind trick on her.

I am not going to put any 1mm plastic on the legs etc until I have the wiring and motors in, just in case. And I've looked at the link James gave me and now I'm toying with putting sensors in the feet to avoid potholes, stairs etc. 
All those people out there coming up with these fantastic ideas does make it hard for those of us who are in a hurry to build it. But fantastic stuff though well done all.
