Robby
Patton, I just looked to save you time. The finished Robby is on the front page and my thread starts on page 15. This is a current GB.
Patton, I just finished a Robby for the Villians and Heroes GB on this site. I described how I primed and finished him using Tamiya Gun Metal with a red primer that gave him a subtly dark violet tint. I've seen the movie more times that I can count I think my Robby came out nice. Take a look, I would love the feedback and all the best for you and Robby's legacy.
f8sader. Sorry I didnt replay till now. I don't really now how tall the actor was that wore Robby during the filming of Fordiben Planet. But this Robby was a little taller than me at 6' 1'.
I found a lot of great pictures just doing a internet search.
Hope this helps.

He looks very gloss black in some shots, and seems to vary to a shade of dark metallic in other shots.
Have you seen the YouTube video interviewing the owner of the original version?

Sorry, can't the link to work. Anyway, it showed a photo of a very nice Polar Lights model of Robby in black chrome plating. I haven't seen another like it for 10 years.

Metalic Black in a spray can is likely to be black with glitter ... a bad idea.
I'd recommend you go out and buy Gunmetal color. That's what I used on mine. Aluminum accents

which you prefer? it's your model. Given it was made back in the 1950s, semi or full gloss black, not metallic, i guess would be more correct, however metallic black would be 'cooler'.

have two Tamiya spray can options:
Semi Gloss Black TS-29
Metallic Black TS-40
what do you think would work best for 'ol Robby?
