Hi folks,

Well I just finished my Marvin model from the 80's Hitch Hikers guide to the Galaxy TV series. He's fully poseable but I'm still tweaking the textures a little. Built and rendered in Lightwave from reference stills found online and of course the TV show itself.

And remember, He's your plastic pal who's fun to be with!

Enjoy!

    Even though I liked the version of Marvin from the movie better, the mini-series is far superior to the film. Not to say it isn't good, but Douglas Adams packed far too much cool stuff into the book for a single movie to handle. The mini-series format suited the story better.

    That being said, you nailed the look of everyone's favorite...er...favourite paranoid android quite well. Excellent work!

    This is a very nice work of yours. A job well done.
    Further note:
    Yes a different Marven rendition but this IS the song that lead to me knowing about Marvin.

    Long live the legacy of Douglas Addams.

    Thanks for the comments guys. I grew up with this marvin so he's my favourite. I might do some more of the TV version stuff now. heart of gold? just model a shower head!

    Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

    The movie was fun, and I like the re-imagining of Marvin, but the BBC miniseries was superior. They should have at least made a sequel, which would have been easier if they'd stuck to the story...

    I wonder how hard a Marvin suit would be to make for Hallowe'en?

    I've been thinking of building a model of the Heart of Gold from the mini-series for years, but reference pics are nearly impossible to come by. If anyone knows where I might find some, I'd sure appreciate it.

    Hickjacking my own thread now but heres some reference grabs from the TV series. As there wasnt much detail in the old shower head it shouldn't be too hard to build it from these.
