I got some good news the other day.
Some of you in the past have asked me about the B9erSteve tagline that I go by on the boards. I'll refresh your memory in case you don't remember.
The name was based upon a hobby that I had started about 6 years ago. I was building a scale model of the Robot from "Lost In Space" While he never had a name in the series, in the pilot to the series he described himself as Robot Model B9. Hence B9erSteve. Well, about a year ago I was approached by a man named Ron who wanted to buy my unfinished Robot. Since, I had been stale on the project for about a year and I had been spending more time with my Christmas decor I decided that I could part with the robot. Well, Ron has been sending me pictures periodically on his progress and he told me that he finished the project this weekend. It was a hectic week because he had to get the Robot finished because a Production company in San Francisco wanted to borrow the Robot for a television show. It is a show on Discovery Channel named "Prototype This!" produced by the same group that does "Mythbusters" and they wanted the Robot for their season finale. So Ron wanted me to see the fruits of both of our labors. I'll share the pic that he sent me last Monday before he had to transport it to the Set.
It just looks fantastic! Ron did a wonderful job. The portions that I personally had a hand in was the Legs (From waist to treadsection, I built from scratch), About 50% of the finish work on the torso, From just below the bubble to the top of the torso is all acrylic work done by me, The Arms/Wrists/Claws, and the programming bay (which you can't really see in this photo).
