T3-M4 Progression: Day 1

Rock that body!

I've decided to start out by making a prototype T3-M4 out of cardboard and PVC pipe so that I can work out where motors will be mounted, whether I need some sort of skeleton, and all of the crazy things I'm sure I'd pull my hair out for if I were using styrene from the start. This seems to be working quite well thus far. After getting the plans online with the proper dimensions, I just started drawing them onto some boxes and hit it with the razor knife. Little bit of hot glue and suddenly he starts to take shape. Here are a few more shots I took on day 1.
