making the Machinarium figurine ^^

Making Josef the Robot from Machinarium =)

TOOLS:

You will need Sculpy/ Fimo:

I had a bit of yellow fimo, which I did not need. The color is up to you, because you will dye it silver in the end!


The following tools come in handy

STEP 1:

kneed the Fimo and mold it to necessary shapes:

1st the head
(size determines the rest of the bodysize)

you can make a sausage type of shape and then cut it off

then another "sausage" cut at both ends so you get a cylinder


Step 2:

connect both head and body with a pin and leave the "antenna" sticking out!

with another pin, which you cut in two, add the legs

it should look like this:

you can also add shoulders with fimo
and the arms I also made by cutting and beding 2 pins.

Step 3:
The eyes can done by indenting the shape with a pen.
After that you should mold two smaller pieces of fimo in a cup size form which you also indent with a pen.

You can add feet if you like!

Step 4:
Now the only thing missing is the antenna and the stripes/mouth, buttons screws and bolts!
this is my result:

Step 5:

Bake it in the oven, while following the instructions of your sculpy/fimo material and voilà!

On the next day I sprayed the little Josef with a chrome colored spray:
