Praetorian V0.0

Praetorian V0.0

So like any good obsessive, I've long harbored a desire to create my own bot. I've been sketching on the Praetorian model for awhile, and have recently attempted to get the nuts and bolts worked out in CAD. 

Check out this vague image!

Perhaps you can tell that I am a Syd Mead fan.

I have no idea what those legs are doing as of yet.

I'm keeping it blocky, at least initially, to make sure the mech actually works physically. No anime magic for me.

I'll keep the blog updated as I make progress. I'm thinking of chip-board next.

Update: Now with better legs!

Great! I just started working with 3D myself. Looking forward to seeing the finished bot!

Cool. For what it's worth,

Cool. For what it's worth, I've been 3d modeling for a decade and the best quick and dirty, test of concept software is Sketchup. Free and easy to learn.
