robothut Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 So what color should I print the torpedo body in ? And of the two robots what one looks at home on this guy. If it was not a robot project I would make a Slim Pickens figure to ride this bad boy , Dr. Strange Love style. I have added a red nose to the torpedo as a test.

ROBODUDE Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 John, I personally like the colors you have already used-The yellow-orange and red-And I like the Non Twiki head the best--Very Cool !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Great colors and that non-Twiki version stands out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDerby Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This one is great John. I agree with the rest so far that the non Twiggy version is better. Non Twiggy has a really great look. The benefit of easily accessing the inside is always a plus and something that I try to keep in mind when thinking about my own designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Great project ! I personally like the winged head guy in the strip with the fin at his chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Very cool, Mr. Rigg. I lean towards non-Twiki as well. Any thoughts on doing the red/yellow color scheme from the comic? Those poor flying torpedoes going on one way missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 I am working on the comic strip version now. And I guess spray paint could make it the red / yellow version, but comic's only had limited number of colors they could use . So things were not always the way the artist wanted then to be but how they had to be. I will do a new thread with the comic strip version once I get it done. Maybe I will post it non painted and just printed in gray filament at first, then try painting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 John, is the rocket thruster section red filament or painted? If filament then the man could be the same red, legs silver as shown or red and up to someone else to choose rocket cone if you don't want to paint it. I'm highly anticipating the strip version and would love to purchase it for my Buck Rogers collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 I like the silver robot but added more red highlights to it. The comic strip version is coming along, have to wait for paint to dry so that slows up things more than the 3d print time does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
