Spoke to Jim Quinlan tonight. He has completed so many huge projects. He loves the alphalphabot and Jeip. Alphalphabot Lies with joe. Awaiting installation on his upper deck. Here is a link to Jim's site. http://floridarobot.blogspot.com/ He has entered into the world of sheetmetal and welding. Loves it. Says there is nothing that replaces sheetmetal. His welding skills are improving. :D Jim is a top notch builder.

So, this project started a little over a week ago. It was to be the bus stop robots. Well things were going well until I ran out of 20 gauge sheet metal. That meant putting another project aside. I wasn't about to do that . Has happened too many times lately. So what to do with the male. Thursday night one of the flight crew brought in an old wagon. Said she was saving it for me. Great, now what to do with an old wagon ? I was headed to the scrap pile and it hit me . The bus stop robot. So here he is in his glory ! Full throttle in burner. I still have to put the rocket motors on tonight.After he dries, I'm going to antique it like old copper. This was fun. Now what do I do with it ? Anyone wants one or wants to build one or a variation of one ,,,,,let me know. :P Oh yeah I just added his antenna/hair ;)

This is just great. Having seen others on this site building custom robots I've been looking at making a couple of small scale versions of the robots from the old Aussie Sci-fi TV shows - Interpretatis, Vega 4 and Phoenix 5 - but now that I've seen this I'm wondering whether I should go full scale. For the Phoenix 5 robot large scale might be easier as some of the parts are 6 switch light switch panels, a metal mixing bowl and the arms and legs look like long narrow versions of the collapsible camping/"party ice" bins.
