Robby Rides Again

Recommended Posts

I picked up one of the cheap Planet Robots a while

back, mainly because I wanted to steal his legs and

feet to repair my High-Wheel Robot. This left me with

an extra Robby torso lying around, and I also happened

to have this saucer.....

I deciced to change him from black to a blue metalflake...

(It was the least I could do after sawing him in half...)

A little glue, a little wire, and here he is : Hovercraft Robby !!

Heres a shot in the dark...All I added was a wheat light

inside Robby to light up the gels....

(You have NO idea how many pics you have to take before catching the front two lights at the same time :P )

That thing looks awesome in the dark! Great job robobob! I have an old Chinese toy Missile-launching tank that I am going to convert to a missile launching Robby tank. These cheap repops are perfect for this type of thing. ;)

:) Nice toy, robobob, one question though, would the robot look more at home on that saucer painted the teal or light green color to sort of match that on the saucer? I was thinking of the white, like that on the saucer, but no, that wouldn't look good, but maybe the teal green? Just a thought. I know that these robbies look so good that blue metalflake! I am going to have to pick up a cheap one to repaint in the blue met. myself! -Larry 7

Thanks for the kind words everyone !!

and L7...

Your right, he would have looked more at home if he

matched the teal on the saucer. But this was just a

cheap and dirty mod, and the only colors I had enough

of were metallic blue and OSHA red. I was just too

lazy to drive into town for more paint... B)
