H.I. Gosses Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 A wrecked and armless X-70 turned into the 2005 model the ... (drumroll) .....X-71! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.I. Gosses Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 It has arms from the might robot and decals on the front. It was totally sandblasted with the exception of the head.The mechanism and most of the body isn't what the makers sent out. It had totally rusted away, so it had a new batterybox frame new sides to the bodyand a new toplight that began life as a screwdriver. (very good source for clear, coloured plastic)I had wanted to enjoy the fruits of my labour a little while, but it has gone already. On the sad and empty place where it stood, I found some pieces of paper with figureson them though. (..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbius Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Very nice, HenK! B) Colours are impeccable as always. And the workmanship...what can I say!! Did you add one of ROBOTNUT'S laugh chips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dratomic Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Real nice, Henk. I'm a big fan of the X-70, but never loved the arms; yours are a distinct improvement. (Great coloring, too.)So what does it do, exactly? Walk with light up head light... anything else? Does the head open at all, or did that mechanism fall by the way-side? Regardless, I like it a lot.

Pagnott Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 VERY stylish and tasteful modification Henk! The colors compliment beautifully. The arm design works, especially since you have kept the original "ass pinching" hand design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothunter Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Henk - Awesome looking robot! I especially like the arms which I think are a great improvement over the original look. I think what I like the best is the huge shoulder bolts. Reminds me of the arms on the tall Yonezawa Jupiter robot.Nicely done! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxastrogirl Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 great improvements...colorwise, arms and all. I am guessing it has matching panties (cause up to Bart a tulip is not a tulip if...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 He now has a far stronger more masculine look with your enhancements Henk (despite the matching panties!!!). Really impressive to say the least!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
