MindChamber Statue

aside from the newgrounds forums, not many people have seen this statue of the mindchamber robot i carved out of clay and lego parts. I wanted to test my camera, so I decided to kill two birds here.

the song is called Entropy (preview) by xkore

also sorry for the shaking cam, hard to keep steady when youre so zoomed in..


"Created this a while back. I have it on my desk mostly as a reminder that I have a big story to tell.

Mindchamber is created with Sculptey Clay, Bionicle parts, and these cool "Friction" pistons from lego.

The lights in the eyes and chest are courtesy of Wade, who took the time to wire them together.

Originally he was fully poseable, but the nine volt in his chest added even more weight to his immense torso. So I reinforced the pistons connecting to his chest and legs with springs, and locked his heel in place. So while he is still semi poseable, he cant crouch all the way down or pose in a running position like he used to. The little boy was done in scupltey as well.

heres a thread tracking the progress:

It isnt the best figure ever but not bad for my first go around. The imperfections actually add to Mindchamber's steampunk design. This wouldnt work for Intraface (Mindchambers' more advanced copy) So I would need to get much better before tackling him"

You seriously need to put this thing in some kind of protection case.

A secure display case with a stand and claw.

And foam inside a steel carrying case.

It must be SCARY delicate.

@JakBaronKing oh man it is, pieces are crumbing off as we speak!

which is why i did this lil vid, because theres no telling what will be left in a year or two for now

What kind of camera did you use?

@Peglay

It's made of clay, most likely it'll break if he drops it.
