My Build-up of Jake Parker's Chompbot #5

[FichtenFoo]

I started my pre-release build-up of the Chompbot #5 yesterday. It's a fun kit and goes together quite nicely. I'm doing this one weathered-up and I decided to drill out the resin eye-bulbs and replace them with LEDs to light it up. Pics, details, and video here:

Thanks! The whole bot with canopy (not shown) is about 9 inches tall. The body ball is about 4.25" wide at the shoulders.

Why does looking at this thing remind me of the "Restaurant at The End of The Universe"

No idea what that movie, book(?) is.

I forgot to show the latest with the lighting. http://fichtenfoo.net/blog/in-progress-chompbot-no-5-discolorations-pre-grimed/

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, an absolutely hilarious read.

Looks like he'd nip off a finger if you're not careful!

Heh... I've actually made what's left of his adversaries.... just need to paint them up and post pics. Mutant veggies!

Michael ,

   Another winner from the studios of Industria Mechanika . However , to me it looks sort of incomplete . I think it really ought to have shoe laces tied with a nice bow  ! Just to give it the human touch .

That's actually a cool idea. I can't do it on my build-up as it's supposed to be the OOB product. (mostly.. I did add lights, but wanted to show that it can be done simply.)

  Oh , I'm glad to see that I'm not regarded as complete fruitcake by everyone !

You're just in good, like-minded company here. :-)
