I recently made a giant robot head. It was a float in the Clarendon Mardi Gras this past week. I thought you'd be interested in seeing the process....
 |
| Rob Lindsay created the model of the Giant Robot Head scaled at 1"=1' |
 |
| I started by creating a frame that was supported by the shaft of an old gymnasium fan mount. The pole terminates into a pillow block, so that the head will be able to rotate freely. The eyes, which were donated by Dave Moretti are old street light lenses. |
 |
| The frame was then covered by four luan sheets creating the basic head shape |
 |
| Vic and Ed show up to help me put the jaw on (and work through the electrical needs of the float) |
 |
| Added a nose, upper teeth and sideburns to hide the pipe hinge in the jaw |
 |
| Added eyebrows, moustache, ear domes, and lots of "bolts" |
 |
| Grey paint job on the outside, black on the inside...also an antenna crown, complete with strobe lights! |
 |
| Still photo on parade day! |
 |
| This shows the scale a bit better...and the gold Caddy! |
