I posted this in the wrong section I guess, but here is a link to my newest bot - RoboRAD. I am combining a RAD 2.0 base and a robosapien.

Yeah, Bondo haha. I use it to smooth out my mods and blend them into the body. I figure if its good enough for a car its good enough for me haha. I think it's easier to build up, mold and sand than epoxy.

But you like the red huh? It is going to have black accents so I thought the red would look cool. But I am going to have some blue underlighting so I thought maybe blue would look better. I am just not sure.

Here are the pics of my first round of bondo blending in changes to RAD base.

The hole in the front is to hold my plasma lightning ball and there is the riser that will hold my robosapien.

Love the plasma globe.... just did the same through the top of the system unit that I am using to run EZ-B... a perspex case up against a red brick wall in the corner of my workshop....

A friend came over and saw what I had done and said, "Are you trying to make Jarvis like in Ironman".... and my EZ-B system heard the word 'Jarvis' and told him off saying "Excuse me! You are mistaken... I'm not Jarvis... I'm Lawrence!"

His mouth just dropped open and stayed there!

Loving it!

The laser goes out the back and does not go thru the ball.

Now I have sprayed the black that will be the accent color and once that dries I can apply the red. It will be a little while before I have pics of that 'cause it needs to dry pretty well before I can tape off, etc.
