More Arms!

I found these Robot Arms on a Star Wars Action Figure, The Battle Droid. I bought a few of them to match up pairs of Arms.





I needed mounts for the Arms. The Ends of a couple of these Pens will work.





Here they are in place.

Hiding Under the Base!

I pulled 11 Fibers through RRRobot into the Base. Then I glued 2 plastic tubes in line with the Fibers. I ran the Fibers through the Round tubing to try to hold the Fibers flat under the Base.





Then I used a small tie strap through the square tubing to hold the Fibers tight.





Here you can see the Fibers are taped in tubing with a LED Light in it. The Black Wire goes to the Battery and the Red Wire goes through the Switch and then to the Battery. Everything is held in with Masking Tape.

Engine Details!

I added some Hoses for the Engines. The Single Hose is from the Lost in Space Kit. The Triple Hoses are from a 12th scale Ferrari.





I made the Thrusters from the Tops off my Honey Bears and sprayed them Flat Black.

Your work is really extraordinaire and very unique, Ira, but the RRRobot tops it all. It is, from concept to more or less finished kit (so far till now) really inspireing and more than cool. And now some lighning pics please !

Cool idea with the small pipes. I never thought that I could paint details when I REMOVE paint! Fantastic details!!

Frank

Thanks Frank!
I tried painting with the point of a needle today and got good results too...

[ira]

Looks great ira,

I will have to get this kit to add to my collection of builds I be doing..

Clarence

Thanks Clarence!
I think you will like this kit, I bought another...

The Last Details!

I added another part from the 12th scale Ferrari to RRRobot's rear end. It's one of the axle shafts, painted Brass with a Red Wash. It's right behind the large Ferrari part with the Fan.





This part came from the center section of the Lost in Space Kit. I cut out the center and fit it to the front of RRRobot as shown.





The Last Detail!
I made this plaque from Chrome Contact Paper and self adhesive Clear Stricker material for the Ink Jet Printer. I just need to add more Decals and do a little Touch-Up and RRRobot is Finished!





Finished RRRobot Photos Coming Soon...

[ira]

What a cool idea!! And how good the completed part here looks. Seems, you have done some weathering on it, looks good and brings out the details. And now some pics with working lights, please!

Frank

Thanks for the kind words Frank!
Finished "Lights On" Photos Coming Soon...

[ira]

And the white glue does not affect the lightning abilities of the cables??

Frank

Thanks Frank!
The lights seem to be very bright, no problems...

[ira]

Cool! I dont know why exactly but now the pilots in it looks really sinister to me!

Thanks Hunter!
We noticed that too! He looks worried from another angle. He also looks different with lighting changes ...

Yeah, double WOW!! Congrats to this top notch build up, change up and re-design, kit bash and scratch build up! A real great model cames out of a cool kit, but with all that changes a new model saw the light of day (yep, I love me when I speak this way ). Really, I love it. You did a fantastic job!
