robobob Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well, here he is ... My first of 2 kits.I must say again, the amount of work put into these guys is awesome!John and Andy, I bow before you. You have put together a super robot kit !!And thanks to Nikola Tesla for the great original design that started it all !I decided to leave this one bare metal, just polished it up with some Blue Magic.(It's much shinier than the pic makes it look.)I wanted both antennas to spin, so I made a new longer horizontal one and ran the shaft all the way through, then used a couple spare Chief Robotman antenna assemblies to mount it all.I added some chrome eye rings, replaced the single chest bulb with 12 flashing LEDs, and paintedall the assembly screws red for contrast.Thats about it, really. Didn't want to muck up such a clean design.(Number 2, however, might be a different story)I'll get a video posted later, my camera battery ran out taking this pic ...
