Take heed, some day he'll be a lyrical poet... for now let's focus on scrubbing the 27 years of lead battery acid and insect detritus from his yellowing shell - with a little help from Jacques the crab and, ever the looky-loo, Mr. Bubble!

I wanted to called this guy Mr. White Christmas but my son Z was set on Vanilla Ice. He's in the early planning stages and remains as yet unmodified. And here he is all uncovered and bare, getting his clean on before his eventual transmogrification...

Let's kick it!

Yeah man your bot is looking pretty rad, I love the sideways nixie idea, keep up the good work!!! I've been getting inspired by your stuff and have been building and made a few break-thrus, I'll try to share sometime this week. I always seem to be too busy for posting, hopefully that'll change soon. mad

I hear ya skater_j10 - limited time is a killer! I've been forcing myself to post updates after reaching certain "milestones" in the build process. I try to do it as soon as possible but it can be a challenge when you'd really rather continue on with the building. Just remember:

A finished product is awesome; having a record of all that went into it is priceless...

DJ, I'm just a lowly acolyte with cranial chemical deficiencies, lightning reflexes and a penchant for Swedish Fish (the small red ones please)... And someday I hope to have a fully functioning robot to show off your mad programming skills!

Viva La Robot Revolution!

I love it!!! Did you make that?

I used Robot Fist by mattandrews from deviantART and added the red swirls and text. I wanted to use the Robot Revolutionary Front (RRF) logo from Astro Boy but couldn't find a decent image of it...

VERY COOL WORK!!! Have you thought of creative placement to add a model railroad smoke generator to go with the colored rods? I can imagine a "robot gone mad" script. :D

Great idea! I have one or two of those lying around somewhere. Could be a good rainy project once I get the eyes finished...
