Sparkrobot Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think Andys on holiday at the moment,but I'm so pleased with the Andybot I bought from him ,that I cant wait for him to get back before I post a picture ,It also gives me a chance of showing a few more clasic robots I've aquired recently.Here's a picture of UB-1 [uglybot- 1] in his new English home ,along with a nice Wheel-a-Gear and Electric robot ,plus a colourful Russian plastic and a couple more vintage bots..P.S,,,,Scott if you read this post ,it's great to have you back,,,,,,,Where you belong! ,,,,,,,Along with Eagle ,,Me ,,and all the rest of Alphadrome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike van Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Sparky, just my 2 cents here - The 2 big bots should have the shelf to themselves - They kind of "overshadow" UB 1 if you know what I mean? I just think he'd [i'm guessing it's a he] would do better on a different shelf. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to re-organise my collection,but I dont want to get rid of any of my bots at the moment also,I dont want them spread all over the house ,so in a couple of weeks time when I have finished renovating my house ,rearannging the Robot collection will be next on the list,,I will then [with a better camara I hope] post the whole new set up,Thanks again for your comments,it helps me to get it right :huh: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic guy Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I know the Russians are famous for drinking, but their robots? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkrobot Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 AG,,,,,,,Yea,,you noticed did you,,,,,,,,,I used the glasses to hold the shelves up ,it seemed a good idea at the time,but now I see it in the picture ,maybe not such a good idea Oh well,back to the drawing board.......

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Spark - I've mentioned before that I really like your Russian (Bulgarian?) robot and and am keeping an eye on getting one myself one day. But untill this picture I didn't realize the scale. It's actually smaller than I thought.One quick fix on the glasses might be to turn them upside down - then they might look more like "art glass" pillars and not so quickly recognizable as drinking glasses. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've just remembered an idea I had a while back,but havn't got round to trying yet,,dont think I've gone mad,but I was thinking of using those wedding cake pillars ,preferably in clear plastic..Have you ever written something and then thought 'Oh no !what am I gonna sound like here..Well I've said it now ,so it's too late :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I'm glad to hear UB-1 made it over the pond in good shape, Sparks.BTW-The name "Ugly Bot One" came from his first incarnation...he was a lot uglier! ;)Regarding your shelf...consider candle holders of sorts.

mike van Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 On the shelf support, you can get round dowel shapes in Lexan, Derlan, Plexiglass and others too. It comes in all diameters, you can epoxy 4 "legs" to the bottom of the shelf, and it'll just sit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller (than I had expected) scale makes it even more desirable in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkrobotik Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Nice bunch Sparko.The Wheel a Gear is a robot that I keep meaning to have a go at but its hard to find one without bits damaged.I like the glasses as shelf supports it's so , so British. Perhaps slip a gin and lime in there, after all, the yanks did'nt call us lime'is for nothing ;) lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
