Mr. Ford Prefect Front & Center!!!
Here he is making his 1st public appearance - all the way from a small planet in the vicinity of Beetlejuice - Mr. Ford Prefect.
"Hey something happened to the teleporter" "Keep that cat away from the controls" "Ahh! Thats better-no wait what happened to me head...what the... Now just look at my neck" Thanks BazookaJo for letting me test build this Fantastic model. I hope you like how it's coming out. Sorry it to me so long to post pics. Was sick for the first couple of weeks but finally felt ready to get started. Didn't want to mess up while I was ill. Any and all feedback is welcome. Cant grow if I don't know where improvements are needed, after all this is my first build. Haven't started on the head yet. Will post more pics as the build continues. Hope everyone likes it. Regards, Rick P.S. Mr. Prefect, that cat is my assistant/inspector

Looking good there Maverick!!!!
The only issue seems to be the table - I can't figure out if it's just too tall or just too big period.... If its just the height then just a quick heads-up - the central post of the table should pass entirely through the two smaller wood cylinders and slot into the top and bottom cylinders I.e. the height of the entire table should be no higher than the height of the central column piece - does this make sense? Anyway keep up the great work. look forward to seeing more :-) paul. Quote:

Quick Update
Thanks everybody - It has been a fun build.
Thanks for the info Paul, I was wondering if the center pole of the table went thru the ends. I made that change today and the table is a lot more stable now. (Added that to my notes so I wont forget it next time I build this) Finally got the top of the shoes done correctly too. I had to enlarge it at first and do a test build so I could see how things lined up. Cant wait to make the rest of the gang. hint! hint! No pressure - No none at all. OK you can have a break first. Thanks Again, Rick Breaks over - back to work

Hi Maverick - That looks a lot better
I think that there are now just 2 issues remaining, 1 being the positioning of Ford and the table on the carpet. To be honest I think Ford is almost spot on, but the table base overhangs. What I'll do is try amend the base to better show where the feet and table base should be placed. I think the position of the torso is also out and a little off-kilter so that Fords left arm is out of view. also there is a little black section that hangs of the bottom of his jumper - the idea is for this section to be stuck to the front of his trousers and mask the join between upper body and pants - not very obvious from the instructions I know....I think more reference pics might help here. I've been finishing off the images for Ford's page on my website, so I'll send them your way when I'm done so you can get a better view of the different angles BTW - you do know that the Marvin the Paranoid android model has already been finished right? And yes - very slowly but surely Arthur is coming into existence Best regards Paul. Quote:

Ford Update
Well the teleporter split poor Fords' head into 20 or so pieces (talk about a head ache) so I am taking my time to put him back together again.
Started with the face, my mistake. Now he's telling me what to do. Finally got around to attaching the ears to the sides... All that's left is to finish the back of the head, insert the Neck Top and finish and attach the face. Oh yea, and take some good pictures instead of these small ones from my phone.
