Custom Metrotitan

So I guess we might not be seeing him till next year ?

Depends how early you start partying on New Years Eve.

Actually, the only thing that's going to seriously foul up my plans is if my wife goes into labour in the next 48 hours. We're due in early January, so we'll see.

Congratulations on the impending addition to the family. (I meant the bub, not Custom Metrotitan ).

Difference between Metrotitan and M-Bot Jnr? I didn't scratch-build Metrotitan.

Bots before Tots

But in all seriousness, best wishes to you and your partner. Bet you can't wait

Wow, firstly huge congrats on the soon-to-be-birthed bub! Hope it all goes safe and sound.

Secondly, what a day to pop back in here. Love the details and how you make the decisions to make simple things pop ridiculously well. I know it's a not a simple custom, but the effect is that "simply brilliant" juxtaposition.

Well done, can't wait to see the final piece and gallery!

Haha, "Bots before Tots". I think if I trotted this one out, I'd be sleeping on the couch until 2016...

Marathon session last evening to reassemble (ask 1Azrael1 about that!!), he's 90% done. When he's all in pieces and you're painting all the parts independently, you really need to depend on a picture in your head of what it's going to look like all assembled. I am so happy to say that put together he looks great. So happy. After work today, he'll be completed and together, and I'll be taking some basic pictures for a mini gallery to be posted tonight before New Years celebrations. Watch this space about 6-7pm tonight, all going well!!!

Excellent! Can't wait

Finally!! This mammoth assignment is done. When I say done, I may still tinker a bit here and there, there's a few spots of paint rub that I didn't properly anticipate, and you can see them in the pics if you look hard enough. To be honest, as happy as I am with how he turned out, I can see all the flaws, they kinda jump out at me. Trying to see the forest, not just the trees! I WILL fix them!

Please also keep in mind that in my haste to get a gallery up, I mis-transformed him in a few spots.

Thanks to all who have supported me in this endeavour, my family for putting up with my plastic crack "problem" and all you Ozformers out there who have cheered me on, and given me such great and constructive feedback.

That's not the end, though. I have something cool planned for showing him off in the next couple of weeks, and you'll see it here first!!!
