Beautiful Work Tim! Great Progress...

Beast Mock-Up! Here is the Body set on the Chassis. The front Axle is not glued yet. Just checking fits and seeing what it looks like on all fours. Side View. Rear View. More Coming...

Thanks Dave! Yes, I like the Windows, you can look inside and see everything...

Great Contest! Check it Out...

Axles! I am using the Front Axle from the Monogram Pie Wagon. I cut off the plastic Axle Pins and drilled holes for steel Axle Pins. Then I glued in the New Pins with Zap-A-Gap. I did a little carving on these rear Suspension Parts from the Baja Beast Kit... Here they are painted Silver Leaf and glued in place. After a little more paint and a Light Black Wash... More Coming...

Beautiful Build John! Thanks for Sharing...

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Andy! You guessed it...

Eye Light Test! They Work! Frankie is almost Finished, a little touching up and we are done. I will be posting Finished Photos later this week...

Thanks Bob! So glad you like it...

Thanks Jonathan! So glad you like it...

Chains! Dolores gave me this Lucky Charm Chain a while ago. Looks like a perfect fit for Frankie. I split one of the Big Links, opened it up and crimped it around Frankie's Wrist. The Link wasn't large enough for his Wrist, so there was a gap in the Link. I glued a length of the Chain in the gap with Zap-A-Gap. I also split the Link at the end of the Chain and Glued it on. I did the Left the same as the Right, except there is only one Link left on the Chain. More Coming...

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Bob! Yes, I am adding Scars, Stiches and Staples...

Thanks Bob! I added the RRRobot Label after the Finished photos were taken...

Thanks Greg! I think I have enough Windows for now, but I might add a couple Window Posts later...

On Base! I applied more White Glue and sprinkled some "Autumn Grass" on the Base. Next I drilled a hole for the Fiber Optics. I glued Frankie on the Base with 5 Minute Epoxy. I also added a couple rocks and more Autumn Grass. Here is the wiring for Frankie's Eyes. More Coming...

Making the Base! I started with a lid to a Cookie Can and sprayed it Flat Brown. Next I smeared some White Glue on the Base. After the Glue Dried I smeared more White Glue on to create more texture. Then I sprinkled some "Earth", brown sawdust, on the wet glue. I bought the "Earth" from the local Hobby Shop in the Trains Department. More Coming...

Nothing in This Hand! I decided to get rid of the Vase, so I removed it with a Dremel Tool. Then I glued a piece of plastic in the carved out area and smoothed out the Palm with some Aves Apoxy. this stuff is very thick and you cam work with it for a couple hours before it gets hard. I like this product, especially for repairing a painted Model. Here is the Palm after a little clean up and paint. Look no Vase! Here is the back of his Hand, Finished! More Coming...

Paint it Black! I sanded the Chassis down nice & smooth. Then I sprayed on a couple coats of Flat Black Primer. I found some Plastic Tubing that is the right diameter for the rear Axle. I cut it to the right length and glued it in place. Next I fit the Body on the Chassis and marked where the Axle will go through the Body. Then I cut it out with a Dremel Tool. More Coming...

Thanks so much Ray! I really appreciate it...

Thanks Joe! I really appreciate it...

Staples! Frankie's Scars along the forehead are Stapled together. I made the Staples with RC Stripping Tape. I brushed a coat of Dullcote over the Staples to help hold them in place. More Coming...
