laserman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I had a couple more chief Robotman conversions started but not done after I finished the others a year ago that have been setting in totes all this time. Busy with other projects, and dealing with some health issues this past year, I finally got around to finishing these two conversions. Here is the first: Gearbot. The head is made from a PVC plumbing coupler. The gears are direct drive from another motor as seen in the pics. I vacuum formed the clear cover for the gear box. The bot's basic functions is the same as the Chief's except for turning gears and no spinning antenna. I have a few more things to finish up before I post the other conversion.

Andyman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I must say that LM does the some of the most cleanest and tightest conversions around. They could easily be mistaken for production models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserman Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks Andy and everyone else for the kind comments. Commentary and even criticism is welcome. Sometimes at home, I rush up from my shop to show off a project I worked hours and hours on, to only get comments like, "oh, that's nice..." On another note I was wondering how many conversions have been made using the Chief Robotman/Smoky body. I know John Rigg has down at least a couple dozen, RoboBob has done several. I have done eleven to date. Here is a pic of the previous nine. I still have one to finish up and post pics. Thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Excellent conversions. The Chief Robotman can be made in great looking robots like you have done. They remind me of proto-types as to what may be coming some day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Robot and Son Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Another great conversion. All of these are quite imaginative. Nice mix of materials and variation in heads. Unfortunately, I to am very familiar with the "very nice" comment. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
