Tinplate6 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Morbius, I think the fact that you used real light bulbs made a big difference in the figure, it looks much more authentic when compared to the animation. I always liked this robot, really great job. I took this photo on the left at the last Botstock; I see you have made changes since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks Brady, just added the 'vents' to his body with a Sharpie. His 'hardware' moves around from scene to scene to another in the cartoon. This was just a quicky build that took a couple of hours. Nothing on this is meant to be precise or evenly cut as it's supposed to be cartoon-like...this type of plastic is terrible to try to cut or sand. Still need to make the M antennae and fix a crumble on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megastellar Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Good work Morbius! Now you should make the robot cat and mouse from the Chuck Jones Tom and Jerry Cartoons. You can wrap a strip of paper around as a guide the body to help you make the line straighter on this guy. Making curved lines are tricky.I used to have to stamp parachute cans with a numbered ink roller. It drove me nuts!!!! Now I don't have to drive there,it's a short walk.
