Frankenbot

"Make a mechanical man from spare parts?", said Harold the local haberdasher, "you must be mad! In fact, you must have some serious brass cahoneys to make that claim!" Dr. Victor Von Frankenbot was mad. When you're an evil genius that kinda comes with the territory. But his theories on the mechanical brain and indoor plumbing were not to be denied. "It's alive!", shouted the jubilant doctor as his creation rose from the gurney. Frankenbot was born. The robot monster then ate his brief former master, a mob of pitch forked townsfolk laid fire to the place and yadda, yadda, yadda...

Really nice Andy. I agree with Bill, the jaw really makes the head! How did you get the circuit etch patterns on the body? They look great too.

Thanks, guys.

Joe, those are actually plastic circuit contact sheets found inside computer keyboards. I have two different kinds layered on top of each other and wrapped around his tin can body which is painted black.

Thanks again everybody. I actually started this guy back in November and he went through quite a few frustrating changes. Sometimes you get projects that don't seem to go anywhere so you just keep banging away on it until you find some sort of direction to take with it. I'm quite happy with the outcome but let me tell you that it was definitely an 11th hour save.

Frankenbot was already in progress when the competition was announced. If I can finish my current project in time I will certainly attempt a more serious effort.
