All Together Now! I pulled the Fibers from the front of the Body down through the "Tunnel". Then I glued the front of the Body to the Bottom Half of the Body. I added 2 lengths of plastic tubing in the main Body Joints and added more glue for strength. Next I pulled the Fibers from the Bodies Backside through the "Tunnel". Then I glued the Body Halves Together. Here are the Main Body Sections all glued Together! More Coming...

Thanks Emanuel!

Frankie's Legs! I got these Legs from a Wallace Figure in a Wallace & Gromit Anti-Pesto Van Kit. I cut the Legs off with a Cut-Off Wheel. I already used their Heads in the Rocket Van Project... Next I glued the Legs together. Then I glued them in place. Here is Frankie with his new Forehead and Legs. More Coming...

Stringing the Lights! I started with the backside of the Body and pulled 5 Fibers through the front of the Holes that I drilled in the Lights. I applied 5 Minute epoxy inside to hold the Fibers in place. Then I clipped tweezers on each Fiber to hold them until the Glue Dried. I did the same for the Lights in the front side of the Body. I started with 2 Fibers inside the Cockpit. After the Epoxy Glue dried I dripped Elmer's White Glue into the Head Lights and Taillights. More Coming...

Tight Fit! After narrowing the front end, I realized I needed to hollow out the Body a bit to Fit the Chassis inside. I used a Drum Sander in the Dremel Tool to grind down the plastic strip and high spots in the body. Still need to remove a little more from the inside to fit the Chassis in. I had to do some Heavy Sanding on the Chassis too but I finally got a Great Fit! More Coming...

Nice Forehead! I cut a strip of plastic and bent it with Needle Nose Pliers to get this square shape. Then I glued the end with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. I glued an extra plastic strip in the joint to make it thick enough to carve down later. Here is Frankie's first Head Fitting. Looks like we have a good fit! More Coming...

FRANKIE FLYPOGGERSTEIN! I thought it would be Fun to make a Comic Frankenstein Figure for my October Fantasy Modelers Club Meeting. The Meeting was a few days ago, so I will try to get Frankie ready for the next FMC Meeting & Halloween! I started with a Vintage Super Fuzz glue bomb... Here is the Un-assembled Fred Flypogger Body. Still in pretty good shape for an original. Real Nice Eyes! So in Great Frankenstein Tradition, I start by cutting off the top of his Head! More Coming...

Tunnel of Light! I realized that after I glue half of the Top Half of the Body in place, it will be almost impossible to slide the Fibers into the small hole at the bottom of the Lower Half of RRRobot. So I decided to make a Guide for the Fibers to go into the hole. I started with a length of plastic tubing and I cut a slice out of the side. Then I glued it in place. This made it so easy to pass the Fibers through the Body into the hole. More Coming...

Thanks for the kind words John! So glad you are enjoying them..

Thanks Joe! Finished RRRobot, so I'll be getting back to the Beast tomorrow...

Looks Great!

Beautiful Build!

Great Save Bob! Looks like a New Build...

Looks Great Ray! Love Those Cobras...

LIGHTS! I started working with the Fiber Optics by cutting 11 lengths of the Fiber. I fit them inside of the Body and fit them through the Ball Hole. I'm so glad they fit. Here is a trick I tried with the Fibers. I put a Fiber close to the Flame until it started to melt or catch on fire, then I pressed down the Hot End to form a shape like a Pin or Nail Head. If you look at the Fiber in the Top/Middle of the photo you can see the Pin Head shape I formed on the end with the candle. By making this End Shape on the Fibers I can slide the Fibers through the Holes I drilled in the Body and they will stop when the Ends touch the Holes. More Coming...

Cookie Cockpit! I cut down the Cookie Tray to fit and sprayed it Gray. Then I made copies of Dashboard & Speaker Photos and attached them inside with 2 Sided Tape. I am also using 2 Sided Tape to attach the Cockpit to the Body. Here it is in place. I will use tape to seal the edges that don't show. More Coming...

The Pilot! I glued in the Pilot/Seat Assembly as shown. Here he is in the Cockpit. More Coming...

Screen! I used Zap-A-Gap, Green Label to glue Brass Screen Over the Body Openings. Here is the front with Screen installed. The Rear. More Coming...

Thanks for the kind words Andy!

Looks Great Jim! Real Nice Paint...

Thanks Andy! So glad you like it...

Cockpit Greebles! I added some Engine parts from a 1/16th scale Cobra and a Hose from another part of the Robot. Here are the Greebles after a Black Wash and a coat of Testors Glosscote. More Coming...

Great Detail!

Looks Great!

Oh Oh!
