Greetings!

I’ve got my first robot sculpture for sale in my shop!

This character is named Wonder. They’re one of the three characters I’ve been developing, and I’d say they’re the most innocent of the three.

Here’s a video showing them front and back:

I built them so they could sit on a shelf or on the edge of a desk, with legs that dangle off the edge. I built a kind of backpack that they use to keep their key strapped to their back.

They’re made of Super Sculpey Polymer Clay, chain, wire, metal nuts, foil, wood, and acrylic paint.

Here are the making-of pics:

To fix the key to the statue, I prebaked the key (so that it was hard) and then kind of “stapled” it with wire to the back of the robot. Then I built the backpack over the wires that kept the key in place. I really like how the backpack turned out.

I plan on building more sitting robots - more versions of Wonder as well as the other two that I’ve created.

Feel free to comment below or email me with any questions! My email is Andy@AndyReynolds.net. And sign up for my newsletter for updates.

Stay inspired!
