i dont think there should be a be all end all concept as yet. people with story ideas create synopsis of their character.
and provide drawing designs for them. if they can't draw . still post it up for someone to colaborate with.
once a team of writer and artist are in place.
the team do a small 4-8 page story.
which ever catches steam catch steam.

Wow. I will have to start working on some concepts! I'm in the middle of a screenplay so it may have to wait a bit but I just wanted to encourage you all! You are awesome folks. Special shout outs to gpa for an awesome start. I can't wait to read the rest! And Kidchuckle who's not even showing his best stuff in this thread and if you've seen his site you know I'm telling the truth. You guys keep this up! It's awesome to be able to come here and read this. Very inspiring!

Heh but won't someone take lead and control the direction of this thing? Ed? Well,, errr, I would LOVE to take the lead...but. -Don't have much time with the daughter and convention coming up :/ My thoughts are simple though-- Brainstorm on this thread then vote on a concept. After that vote we should refine it. Then, I could feature it on RJ (maybe it will be adopted as a fan favorite and mascot). After that point we could consider a 3-d rendering of some sort. Heck, we could even render "add on parts" for the character later. Feel free to over rule me griff (I'm considering you the lead/co-lead) . ;D Ed

Nah I'm only the 3D modeler and prototype maker.

Oh ya I remembered that. Nice one, Vince's design. So how about using this as somewhere to start from? Someone has a better suggestion/submission or ideas to modify this design to something else?

Nah I'm only the 3D modeler and prototype maker. So you have access to one of those 3D printers?

nah, cant afford a printer, i own a cnc milling machine

So does the cnc machine start with a billet of metal? Can we get someone to use 3-d renderings and then chop away?

A custom diecast RJ robot? This would be a phenomenal project of epic proportions!

lol i will need to split the parts out for the 3D model and put them in sprue form before I can get the machining started. Lots of considerations in the design of the layout before the actual cutting starts. But yes, it'll be quicker if there's a rady model to be used provided that it's properly modeled without too many overlapping or messy parts Cant do diecast though Rex, at best its gonna be resin, but you can give it a shiny paint coat to make it look metal of coz

Update- I met a guy (engineer) that might lend a hand in a few months. He's a lurker here and needs to get some priorities done first.
