Lara's Lego H-015 Sentry Droid

[kresty]

Well, we've gotten a bit stuck. As previously discussed, the bottom "skirt" doesn't fit all the way around the Lego greebles. We "know" the greebles are the right size because Lego's pretty much a built-in ruler and we have decent photos. The greebles do stick out a little where I know Oliver chopped them off, but it's more than that.

On the plus side, we cut out 2 sides in cardboard, and they "look OK", so the proportions seem good. So we're leaning toward scaling them up.

The head looks really good to us. the lower part might be a hair tall, but it's close (that isn't necessarily related to any drawings we worked from as the Lego isn't an exact fit for the plans.)

But the upper body part again seems off. By coincidence, the Lego fit the drawings really well for those panels, but with the oblique view, you can see that the bottom of the skirt is a bit wider than the wide part of the head. Our panels would be only barely wider.

Which might not be a bad thing. If we just scale up the skirt part, then the interface to the upper body is going to be wider, so stretching that out to reach the scaled skirt might work.
