Toy Tin Robot

For this exercise I modelled a robot as accurately as I could to a image.
Ref: image obtianed from and all right to the image belong to: http://www.tintoyarcade.com/products/Mini-D-Robot-Classic-Tiny-Tin-Toy.html 


 Below is the final model of my toy tin robot
The head and body is one shape and the arms and the legs are seperate, this means I would be able to animate the robot easyier. I used the symetry moddifier so I only had to model one side also meaning there were no imperfections on the opposite side.

Basic modelling

I created three basic models using techniques such as extrude,bridge and chamfer. The three models I created were a US style mail box, a skip and a hammer, another method I use was changing smoothing group to create the look of a smooth surface when needed.
