Hiding Under the Base!I pulled 11 Fibers through RRRobot into the Base. Then I glued 2 plastic tubes in line with the Fibers. I ran the Fibers through the Round tubing to try to hold the Fibers flat under the Base.  Then I used a small tie strap through the square tubing to hold the Fibers tight.  Here you can see the Fibers are taped in tubing with a LED Light in it. The Black Wire goes to the Battery and the Red Wire goes through the Switch and then to the Battery. Everything is held in with Masking Tape.  More Coming...

The Last Details!I added another part from the 12th scale Ferrari to RRRobot's rear end. It's one of the axle shafts, painted Brass with a Red Wash. It's right behind the large Ferrari part with the Fan.  This part came from the center section of the Lost in Space Kit. I cut out the center and fit it to the front of RRRobot as shown.  The Last Detail! I made this plaque from Chrome Contact Paper and self adhesive Clear Sticker material for the Ink Jet Printer. I just need to add more Decals and do a little Touch-Up and RRRobot is Finished!  Finished RRRobot Photos Coming Soon...

Ira, you are a true visionary, you see potential in kits that no one else can see. And you have the skills to make your visions into reality. The Rrrrobot is just the latest in a long line of fantastic work that you have shared with the modeling community. Keep 'em coming!

A friend inspired me with the Rolling Robot Idea when he showed me his "Munimula Robot" from the 1950's "Ruff & Ready" Cartoon Show. It brought back many memories of the Scary Alien Robot Cartoons I watched when I was a kid... |
