Dutch National Champion

“Under this alien threat every country of the world has sent their best to defend the earth. Of course, the tiny country of Gouda, tulips, windmills, wooden clogs and legalised weed could not stay behind, so they built their champion. The Dutch, the people of the land of orange, the Netherlands or simply Holland sent this robot to represent their small, yet marvelous country and to kick alien butt.”

For the July National Champion monthly challenge at the Cubebrushx forums.
I won first place in the Silver League.

The design is inspired by traditional Dutch clothing, specifially a Dutch milkmaid’s outfit. I incorporated the basic shapes of the dress and headdress and the iconic braids. Some other typically Dutch things were also included, like Delft’s blauw patterns, tulips, wooden clogs and windmills. The last two are kind of subtle as they are featured in the Delft’s blauw pattern. I used the colours of the Dutch flag (red-white-blue) and orange (our national colour).
