Robby the Robot

Brilliant. You can tell it's Robbie. Could this be your best build yet ?

Thanks, everyone. I don't know if it's my best yet, but it is a fun one. Sometimes they start off fun, then become a real chore to get done. But this one is kinda flowing well. I mean, if you don't count the three complete restarts on both the legs and body. Lol, well at least it feels like it's flowing well.
Today I hacked off the rotating support column and moved it back to better center the main body over the hips, then went ahead and glued the legs in place.To keep him on his feet, I cut open a slot on the soles of both shoes and glued in some metal nuts and bolts.Then glued the flaps back shut. I also started on the inner portion of the head. That's about all I could fit in today.

Bib approves!


(Sorry, but the all-white Robby somehow reminded me of the Michelin man. )


I'm looking forward to how you will tackle the clear outer shell.

Thanks, Rifleman.
I don't know, but I'm kinda digging the plain cardstock aesthetic of the paper Robby. I may not paint this one. We'll see.

Here is how paper Robby is stacking up to plastic Robby:

Great looking model, but I would paint him though lest he look too Stay Puft. Maybe you could do 2 ? One painted and one plain. (But then that's double work.)🙀

Seeing both models together I can already hear him say "Welcome to papermodelers . com!"
