Chthulhu, Thank you for those containers! your site is really cool and the collection of models is nicely eclectic!
Skidoosnopro, I was thinking of rolling the legs on my next build. Oh, and I notice that there is no Northwest love from Oregon for the guy from Washington!

Very nice work! If you intend on adding the storage containers, why not a small diorama? Take a look at what the late Hilber Graf did with his Dewey:

I could not see from the pics of your build, how did you build the arm attachment point? On Deuy I recessed that area even with seam line and then lengthened the legs, using the orange leg band as a cover. I did not roll the legs because I was making a "quick" build, and I didn't think out the angles.... Anyway. Huey I printed and built at 100% (then my wife claimed him ). Deuy I printed at 75%, as close as I could figure to 1:18. I just found some measurements for these guys, and I was 10% too big, so I will be rebuilding them because I am a scale snob....

MY duey is at 200% on adobe . I am not sure what you need to know abou the arm attachment point ? I Build the body as it showed and have added all the extra after the basic build . I have copys of all the things I made for him for microsoft paint if you want them ? Just let me know if I can help . Thanks

All the grills are separate and glued into place and the number is cut is glued into place. I am having alot of fun with this littel guy I am thinking of weathering him also so that should be fun
