  1. That's Funny! The original Moonscope from the 1970's had 6 wheels too...

  3. Looks Great! Real Nice Tow Truck too...
  4. Looks Great! Real Nice Paint & Decals...
  5. Great Idea Joe! Very Original, I Like it...
  6. RRRobot Mock-Up! First, I cut a length of Brass Tubing to fit in the Plastic Tubes in the Tire Ball and the Base. Then I taped the Upper Body in place and slid the Robot on to the Brass Tube in the Base. The Fiber Optics will go into the RRRobot Body through the Brass Tube in the Base. Side View. Rear View. More Coming...
  7. Looks Great! Real Nice detailing...
  8. Thanks Henry! The next project is called RRRobot, it's in the "All The Rest" Section...
  9. Thanks Tim! Yeah, sometimes I take weeks to decide on a color...
  10. The RRRobot Base! I found 4 Great RRRobot Bases in the Kitchen! They are Burner Covers for the Electric Stove. You can probably find these at the Dollar Store or Walgreens. I punched a small hole in the center. Then I enlarged the hole with a Reamer. Next I cut a length of Plastic Tube the same size that I just glued into the Ball/Tire. I cut the plastic tube short enough to fit inside the Base with a little extra room for Fiber Optics. I glued a few Washers around the Tube to hold it in place. Then I glued a small washer on the end of the Tube. More Coming...
  11. Thanks Jason! I think I just found an Interior for the RRRobot in a package of Cookies...
  12. Great Build!
  13. Mounting the Ball/Tire! I drilled a hole in the bottom of the Ball large enough to pass the Plastic Tube through. I glued the Plastic Tube inside the Body. Then I glued a Large Washer at the end of the Tube to hold it in place better. Here is the Tire/Ball glued in place on the bottom of the Body with the Tube Cut-Off at the outside edge of the Tire/Ball. More Coming...
  14. Thanks Arno! Yeah, I really cut those Vettes up, didn't I...
  15. Real Nice Work Darryl! Love the Tiger Paint & Decals...
  16. Thanks for the kind words Niko!
  17. Looks Great Darryl! Real Nice Paint & Decals...
  18. Rock & Roll! RRRobot Rolls around on a Big Rubber Ball/Tire. RRRobot uses 2 Gyroscope to keep it Rock Steady! The Tire was a little too long so I marked it for Cutting. I cut the excess off with a cutting wheel In a Dremel Tool. Next I glued a washer on the end of a short length of Plastic Tubing. This will be the Main Support for the RRRobot on the Base. More Coming...
  19. Impala Lights! I found 2 sets of '59 Impala Headlights. I thought they would work well on RRRobot. Tail Lights! I cut out a little of the Body and fit the Impala Headlights in the back for Tail Lights. Then I did a little Cutting & Fitting and installed the Headlights. Before I put the Headlights in I cut out an opening for the Pilot. More Coming...
