B9 ROBOT from Lost In Space Moebius Model w/Starling Light Kit

I started on this bubble headed booby in late Febraury, and just completed him Mid April. It was quite a task, but I'm really happy with the end result!! Working with electronics and fiber optics was quite a challenge, and the kit requires a lot of modifications to make everything work. I discovered tricks I could have used, as I went along, some before I glued parts so I could use them, some not, but I am not opening this thing back up LOL. I took pictures as I built and put them in this video. I put the power switch on the back of one of the feet, and the button where the microphone goes and modified that part and superglued it to the button. I didn't use air brushing, all painted by hand ( and I'm not the best ) and some of the parts are microscopic it seems. I've seen different kits that can make more lighting but this one did what I wanted and I'm pleased. Also there's a guy turning this same model into a remote control robot that is unbelievable compared to my humble attempt. Anyway, here he is! Hope you like!

You gotta love it when you give someone a compliment on a job well done and they completely ignore you.

fantastic how many hours did it take and what was the final $ cost? thanks

[@djembedragonfire]

I really don't know honestly how many hours, I worked on it several hours a day from February through April... but I'm not patient enough to do it consistently for hours at a time... so probably a couple hours a day I would do a small bit of it. Cost well that I don't know or remember... the cost of the original model, and the light kit, plus a ton of model paint and glue, some of which I didn't like and chose others so I am sure I overspent... definitely over 200.00 at least. Sorry for not responding I never check these things.
