Robby The Robot

[Sonorandog]

Here is Robby from Forbidden Planet.  This was something completely new for me and it was a lot of fun.  I added a PE detail kit for it and also added lighting.

Now that's pretty cool ! I've seen this kit a few times and there's a lot more detail than I thought ,. Would love to see the lights !

Thanks. The last picture with the lights on is actually a video.  You can see the lights flashing in that one.

I don’t want you to be mislead about the details.  I have attached a few pictures to show you the factory detail, the PE kit and then what I did.

Oops.

After the post I realized I forgot a few parts(the two chrome circles).  I could not get Robby to sit for a photo shoot again so here is quick picture of him with the final pieces.

Danger, Will Robinson!  Danger!  Very well done.

I can tell a lot of work went into this. Looks great! I can almost hear the robot speak. ?

Super nice build, excellent detail!

Thanks everyone.  I think this one really encouraged me to try other things outside my comfort zone.  It was a lot of fun and he looks cute sitting on the shelf.

Really cool, one of the best Sci-fi robot from a great and timeless Sci-fi classic.

Thanks.  It was a fun a build and great excuse to rewatch the movie.
