Julius has designed a great paper model of it. I think it can be made articulated.

If you are referring to the one that is one the Paper Repika site, I have it. I just need to build it first "as-is" so that I can map out how things go before I attempt to make it articulated.

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. It is a fun build so far.

As for the ED-209, I have thought about building it!

I'd buy that for a dollar! (I want to see you build that!)

I am sorry that it has been awhile since my last post in this thread. However, real-life crept in and took over during that time. So, now, I have returned to this project with the intent of finishing it. Here are photos of my current progress.

Starting with the internal components for the legs.

Revell-Fan · Apr 3, 2019

Very cute!!!

Rhaven Blaack · Apr 3, 2019

On to the bottom component.

Rhaven Blaack · Apr 3, 2019

These are connector hoses that go from the body to the legs.

Rhaven Blaack · Apr 3, 2019

Now for the assembly of the legs.

The internal components are installed and attached in place.

I attached the bottom component.

The leg posts are attached.

The side components are attached.

The feet are attached.

The connector hoses are now attached.

X2 on that. You are knocking this out of the ball park. I don't know if the scale would be right, but I wonder if "Flexible" straws might give you some options with the arms/legs?

I like the idea of the flex straws. However, I will have to wait to rebuild them to try that trick.

Here is another update.

This is the front face-plate assembly for the arm system.

Here are the parts.

The face-plate is assembled. As you can seem I raised the rivets and some of the other components.

The face-plate is in place.

starting on the arm assembly.
The bracket for the base of the arm. I layered the part where it connects to the arm mount.

The bracket is in place.

Rhaven Blaack · Apr 6, 2019

Going on to the arm assembly now.

I raised the screw heads, some of the connector heads and a few other minor detailed components.

Rhaven Blaack · Apr 6, 2019

Continuing the arm assembly.

I raised some the texture to add a bit of definition to this piece.

The piece is in place.

Here are the parts for the actuator "hand".

The actuator "hand" is assembled.

The hand is attached to the are arm.

I attached the arm to the rest of the robot.

The template came with a "poker" hand of cards. However, I did not really like it, I decided to to make a deck of my own for this project, so that you can see each card.
