I just realized what you meant there...Lol, I have it inverted. The good news is, that I can still use the same design, just use the lines instead of the panels Bad news is I cannot unsee it now and will have to fix that..Slow on the uptake sometimes.
Looking at images from the show on Reddit, when it hit me like a ton of bricks!

Here's where I am now on the bigger B9. I'm up to the top of his saucer like head. It kinda resembles the Jupiter 2, now that I look at it painted. His head, I mean.
Also, check out these cool little stepper motors I found! I think I am going to try and incorporate these to maybe turn his body or something. I believe they are designed to work autofocus in cameras. I have some small geared DC motors that I can use in his feet as motivators. Control it all with Bluetooth from a phone. Big dreams. Maybe I can at the very least put an LED in his head

Looking sooooo sweet!

Marvellous!

I'm looking forward to building this. I was downloading images as further reference material and noticed a difference. On the foot pods, sides, the details appear to be pushed out rather than sunk in. As an added fun photo, I found this key chain

Where can I get one of those key chains?

Thanks.

Yup, someone else had pointed this out earlier in the thread. I have adjusted the design for the sides of the feet, but I'm probably going to just leave the door as an extra piece on top of the front, right foot. I'm going for as much detail as I can manage, but anyone is welcome to add more In fact, I hope someone can keep adding to the project, would sure make me proud.

I used to own that keychain, many years ago, lol! I've seen some not so good knockoffs around, but not that one in a while.

Here are some more photos of the head details.


I used clear plastic sheet for the dome. It's cut and glued like the card pieces, though, similar to the clear covers around the bottom of the body.


You can see from Iron Moebius, this B9 is pretty much 1/6th scale. (I think, anyway)

Looking gooooooood!
