I'm new to the forum and thought you folks might like to see my latest project. Let me know what you think.

1st off: Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forumsMake a Toast [#toast]  This is an interesting piece of work. Seems somewhat familiar
from Robo Cop perhaps?

It was based loosely on the Ed-209(?) from RoboCop. I had always wanted to make a mech using one of those plastic eggs, and this is what resulted. As for the C-130, it was a conversion of the Italari C-130 kit to a WC-130 weather bird. Unfortunately, it is on my workbench because my cat jumped in the middle of it and broke out all of the landing gear and part of the scratchbuilt interior. Seams split right down the middle and the props are pretty busted up. Haven't had the time for repairs.

You did a fine job on the robot. That's kewlSmile [:)]  So, the WC-130 got cat-a-pulted ay? (sorry, couldn't resistMischief [:-,]) It's not uncommon for that kind of cat-as-trophy to happenBig Smile [:D] infact, there's been a few threads on this subject. IIRC there's one in the ships section.

Anyhow, hopefully the damage isn't too bad & you're able to get it fixed up as good if not better than it was.
