Great Progress! Beautiful Work... -
Lower Front Panel! This part is from the Center Robot Section, the one with the second set of smaller Arms. You can see it in the Robot Box Art. I am going to make it part of the RRRobot Body. First I cut the back section off. I cut it off, following the contour of the underside of the Front-Bottom edge of the Body. Here is the part after a little more cutting & fitting. Mock-Up! Here is the part in position. The center of this part has a clear plastic piece that fits inside the indentation. I will probably cut out one of the sections, so you can see what's underneath the clear part... More Coming...

Thanks Chris!

Up Front! With the Back of the Body fit in place, it's time to position the Front. I started by adding strips of plastic to fill the gap between the Front of the Body and the Lower Half. Here is the Front in place, a little higher than earlier. Here is another Front View. The Top of the Body is not glued in place yet... More Coming...

Laid Back! I worked on positioning the Top of the Robot on the Bottom for quite a while. Then I pulled the, back half of the Top, back until it touched the, back of the Bottom. That looked Right! Next I cut away areas where the Top touched the Bottom Details, until the Top rested against the Bottom, nice & tight. Here are the areas that were cut away from the Back of the Top to make it a good fit. More Coming...

Rollin' RRRobot! This Clear Plastic Top came from a Bubble Gum Machine-Toy Container. It looks like it might work as the Big Tire for the RRRobot. Fletch, a member of FMC in San Francisco recently Scratch Built a Robot from the 1950's Cartoon Show "Ruff & Ready". Ruff & Ready was my favorite TV show back in 1959! The Robot featured a "Ball' that it rolled around on. This was the inspiration for the RRRobots Big Tire, Thanks Fletch! With just a little Trimming & Fitting it fits perfectly! Here it is with a spray of Primer. I am looking in the parts box for a Pilot for the RRRobot. This one looks like the right size. More Coming...

Turn it Around! I glued the bottom Body Halves together and then sprayed all of the Blue Plastic with Primer. The Primer Surface makes it easier to see and to write on with a pencil. I ended up turning the Front lower half of the Body around to the back. Now I have the Front of the upper RRRobot Body matched to the Rear lower Body. I needed to do a little Cutting & Fitting to get the Top Body Halves to fit over the Lower Body. A little more Cutting & Fitting and the Top Halves fit together pretty tight. More Coming...

Playing with the Parts! I started with the 2 main upper Body Halves and the 2 lower Body Halves. The most of the lower Body Halves are supposed to fit inside the upper Body Halves with just a small bit of the Round Bottom Section sticking out, as shown on the Box Art. I am pulling the lower Body Halves out of the upper Body Halves to form a new lower Body Section as shown. The photo shows the Front of the Robot with the lower section taped in place. Here is the back of the RRRobot Mock-Up. This is about the time I decided to get serious and go ahead with this New Project! More Coming...

RRRobot! I started this project by playing around with the Robot parts to see what I could come up with. Most of the parts come from the AMT "Lost in Space" Robot. I am going to add a 12th scale Pilot and Fiber Optics Lighting. I am also planning to get rid of the Robots Tank Tracks and replace them with a Big Round Tire. Lets get started! More Coming...
