Another tough call...

One rather wishes there were some way to indicate visually that the various Robots were successive generations of a single project. I'm not usually a fan of printing on models (it almost never looks right, IMHO) but maybe something like MK1, MK2, MK3, stenciled on...?

Nice work on both entries.  I'm having a really hard time deciding...

I figured I'd throw the Monkey assistant in the telepod just to sway a few more voters. He looks so happy before the teleportation!

Both profs are genuis! I love the robots but the 'Marty McFly' swung my vote. Uncle Mike, who makes the fly model that you stuck the head to (I assume thats a copplestone-head-on-a-fly model conversion) Tough call, though....

The 'fly' model is a 1:1 scale joke fly that I got at a local magic/costume/joke shop. I removed the stock fly head and replaced it with a spare head that I had lying around the laboratory. Pretty sure the head was from Copplestone 'skaters' or whatever.

I was a little concerned at first that the hairdoo of the model would make people think he was in the Beatles... :D

He wasn't it?! I withdraw my vote.

A big "WOW" for both entries. In any other case Orctrader's mad prof would have swung it [those are seriously insane eyes], but fly-boy and the monkey are just too good  :love:


Well done Uncle mike!
