So I am finally to a point to report some progress on my omnibot hack. I call him BOB. I decided to change his color as there are so many white ones out there. I used a flat black with silver accents.

Bret,
Your bot looks great! You are doing some really nice work there!
Nice work area bret! really nice omni too. After seeing yours, i wish i painted mine black. I have this obsession with white - until i see something done well in black. then i regret it lol
black looks great on robots!
Black is bad for taking pictures of them though. Makes it hard to see the details . I like the way it looks though. Good Job!!

I love the white but.at.the.same time it would be nice for a bot to.stand.out , khudos to.Bret. maybe once bot is.running and.I'm done cutting I could go.with a candy Apple.red.iron man.scheme.
That would be cool jstarne1. A good Ironman look !

Thank you all. I love the support on this forum! You are all inspiring. I like the black and silver on Bob - even if it is the Oakland Raiders colors - lol But I think I will go with something different on my big bot, I'll have to wait and see what will look good on him. Not that I have anything against white, it's just there are so many of them.
I agree jstarne1 - Iron Man look, definitely!
If you wanted you could possibly use a fine tipped silver paint pen and run it inside the detail grooves. I wonder how that would turn out.
HMMMMMMMM? After I get him moving I will be doing some final touch up. I like the paint pen idea....Hmmmm?
