Hello folks! Here is my non-movie accurate, non-transforming Human Alliance Barricade! I used a KO HA Barricade, and a bunch of spares from the parts bin. Thanks for looking!
That looks great! The purple highlights are a nice touch. Not enough to be blatant, but gives it a little bit of colour it wouldn't have otherwise.
Yeah...I loved the little purple bits on the original, so I thought that adding a bit more, and in a more solid shade might look nice...I think it paid off. Thanks! Yup...The hands slowed me up the most with this project...I finally said "eff it" and went with the screamer hands...I basically cut them off at the hinge...cut off the thumbs, and then affixed the thumbs to what was left of the hand. Attached them to the bot with tiny little ball joints. Thank you! Thanks for the kind words! I probably spent 35-40 hours on this over the course of about 7 days.
I think I made those hoses from some gasket material used to seal windows. This was 5 years ago, so I'm not 100% lol. I know I still have a bunch of it that I periodically use for hoses and tubing on various projects. I always keep my eyes open for stuff like that whenever I find myself in a hardware store or home improvement center.
