Thanks, Its taken me a while to get to this point and I like the result so far.
I had many people ask for the plans I used to make my WALL-E and while I was building him I found a few things that needed changed before I posted them to the Original WALL-E Builders.
The file isn’t perfect but there is enough information to make a great scratch built WALL-E.
I can’t make pdf files so anyone who wants a copy needs to have a .dwg .dfx viewer.
One thing people need to keep in mind is that once better information is out there the file will change.
We are in the process of converting the file into something more professional but since so many people asked me for drawings I felt something was better than nothing.
If you would like the file feel free to join the fun here:
Well, The original thought was to have a full build.
I started creating a set of drawings for WALL-E last year but due to lack of good images and known dimensions it was slow going.
I stumbled across a set of high resolution images and it helped bring the drawings to the point where I could start building.
I wanted to have him ready for the premiere but as time started slipping away the project had to be scaled back.
It went from a full build to just his body where the body would shake and his eyes would peek out the top.
Then the American Axil Strike idled my plant and I was layed off.
This made it so he was only going to be static.
Other issues were that good images of his suspension were not avalible to make the track system accurate.
This build was also used to see where my drawings needed to be adjusted.
I have made changes to my drawings and they are now avalible to anyone who wants them.
If you would like a set you can either join the WALL-E Builders Yahoo Group or you can send me your e-mail to my Pixar Planet messenger and I will send a set to you.
The next WALL-E I will build will be more accurate and R/C.
I will be sure to post about that when I start.
All in all I think he turned out pretty good and I am happy with him.

I have never posted a photo of myself on the internet before and had just made my first appearance on Youtube.
