Marvin the Paranoid Android (BBC)

Been a fan of headnockers and H2G2 (BBC version) for quite a while, so figured I'd have a go - and yes the does wobble thanks to the spring from a retractable biro ;D

I've just the parts to label and some simple instructions and it's there I reckon.

Oh, and since Marvin is by nature a mundane chap I decided the only way I could add a little interest was to throw in Eddie and a bucket from his car park days

Anyway - hope you all like it.

And I will probably provide a scaled down head for those of you who are desperate for Marvin with correct proportions.

Regards

Joe.

This is one kit I'd enjoy having and building, Hearty Congratulations, BazookaJoe.
Like others, I echo the hope for a "to scale" head, but that's just aesthetics.
The model as you show it here is certainly a neat addition to a SciFi character collection.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Cheers - I thought it was time for Marvin to have his day seeing as the TV show came out over 30 years ago (wow! never realised that till now). Just glad to be the man who gave him his first model (that I know of anyway).

In time I'm hoping to do a few of the other characters too Ford, Arthur etc.

Some hope :D - we shall see.

I had started a Marvin head for my Helmet Collection,
but as usual I get sidetracked by other things.

good job!
