I first heard about the freezer paper stenciling when rakka did itand I meant to try it, really, I did, except, I totally forgot to try it. Then, she did it again and this time, I went out and found the medium to turn my acrylic paint into fabric paint. And then I neglected to actually *do* the freezer paper stencil. A little later, calvo made one! Which reminded me that I have both the freezer paper and the paint to do one. Sooooo
yesterday, when I was surfing the internets, I found this awesome robot stencil and was compelled to make a freezer paper t-shirt. Now, no plain t-shirt is safe. Heck, if the kids hold still too long I may freezer paper stencil them.
This guy is basically a follow-up to "Alpha Two" and "Beta Three". I'm planning on doing a robot for each letter of the Greek alphabet.
A quick update on my Jaeger project. It's still in the works. I've got Cherno stripped down to his frame and I've started to piece together Gipsy Danger. I may start posting WIP pics every so often to keep everyone up to date on my progress.
Robot is the busiest member of the Spaceship's crew: he can always find something in need of welding, wiring, soldering, or repairing. Even while he is on break, Robot walks the halls of the Spaceship, toolbox in hand and charge pack at the ready, to find even the smallest thing that needs fixing.
I present to you my latest MOC mecha that based on MG Gundam inspiration size. This is the 2nd MOC i did make after AMS H18 Hotten Imperator Mark II
Balrog was inspired by my favourite childhood Gundam model MS 18E Kempfer hence the dark blue color on most of its parts and the iconic two bazooka that attach on its back.
Arms with two bazookas, two panzefaust and a beam gun. Also boosted with 9 rocket boosters to aid it’s manoeuvre advantage in any situation battle that accord. Fit in with Action Mecha base my mecha able to do some pose with it’s armaments and some action poses. More pictures to come on the second part.
AMS initial stand for Advance Mecha Soldat and in French it mean Soldier.
Feel free to comment.
Some of my toy robot collection. Included are repros of Thunder Robot, a couple of Smoking Robots, an RC Dalek (yes, I know it technically isn't a robot) some Astro Boys and a boy on a bicycle, among others.
While Bernard was passed out from a evening of Dark Rum, Bad Science Fiction Movies and incoherent blogging, the Evil Robots of Doom came to abduct Kwaibebe...
Name: Robotic Fire
Secret Identity: Bob Roberts, Robotic Engineer works with advanced technology at Watt Industries
Age: 30 years old
Skills/Powers:
* Wears an invincible suit of mechanized armor which gives him increased strength
* He is able to shoot fire from his robotic hands
* Wears a jetpack that gives him the ability to fly
Background/Origin Story:
Bob Roberts first became obsessed with robots at age eight when he saw that robots had the ability to help other people. Bob pursued his interest in robotics when he enrolled in college and through hard work he earned his degree in robotic engineering.
After graduation, Bob moved to the city of New Brickton where he became employed by Watt Industries as a robotic engineer. Growing up, Bob was inspired by a hero named Fire Man, a superhero who was tragically lost in a toxic fire accident. Armed with technical knowledge and the ability to build robotic armor, Bob hoped to continue the legacy of his childhood hero.
Soon after crafting a suit of indestructible armor, Bob took on the identity of Robotic Fire. It wasn’t long before Robotic Fire had to test his new suit of armor against an unlikely foe, the former Fire Man. It seems that the toxic fire accident had not claimed the life of Fire Man, but had instead twisted him into a treacherous villain now named Doctor Inferno who wanted to destroy the city and Robotic Fire.
Robotic Fire now fights against Doctor Inferno in hopes of stopping his crazy schemes.
*** At Robbie's request, I watched him this weekend while his mom worked so we could tell the origin story of Robotic Fire. I helped him write the origin story in places and obviously did a bulk of the photography, but he's the one making up the story ideas for this character.
The GGE series ("George") robot is a versatile exploration robot of the Federation. With a curious, ingenuous programmed personality substrate, the George series sometimes border on naivety, though the Federation's hardwired Asimov Protocols prevent the excess of curiosity common to this series from resulting in actual harm.

Classic Space robots are fun. A completely different challenge to the large microscales and just-squeaks-in-as-a-SHIP builds I also enjoy, the difficulty is to get something expressive yet small enough to be reasonably minifigure scaled.
The name of this robot came from the wide-eyed stare of those big trans clear eyes. "George" just seemed to fit with that.

As engineer Manuel Aiple moves his gauntleted hand, the robotic hand a few metres away in ESA’s telerobotics laboratory follows in sync.
In future, the hope is that human controllers can manipulate orbiting robots or planetary rovers in a similar fashion, across hundreds or thousands of kilometres of space.
Based at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, the lab aims for robot operators to feel as though they are right there – up in orbit or down on a planet.
Stereo cameras offer 3D vision and the operator feels force-feedback, as found in high-end video game joysticks, to gain a working sense of touch as the robot manipulates objects.
This summer, ESA’s latest ATV space freighter will deliver the Lab’s Haptics-1 experiment to the International Space Station, testing how feedback operates in microgravity, as a prelude to demonstrating orbit-to-ground telerobotic control.

This time no motorcycle model from Max. But still a technical construction that moves on wheels! ;-)
The Metal Smith is a feared opponent among all groups of metal. He grabs partly formed metallic bars in his teeth and hammers, heats, and pulls the metal against it's will into a final useful form.

Lately, I haven't had much time for building because all of my spare time has been put toward completing the game Kid Icarus: Uprising(which is awesome, by the way!).
This little guy has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. I haven't even been able to think of a cool name or career for him. I was thinking that he could be an ammunition handler of some kind. I don't know why you would need four arms for that job, but I guess four arms are better than two.
STROBIST
One YN-568C on stroboscopic mode (4 flashes per sec, 20 flashes, 1/16 power) in a Honl Traveller 8 softbox -- a little styrofoam reflector is placed on the other side. The flash is triggered via RF-602 modules.

5d3, 24-70 f/2.8 on f/10 and on 38 mm; 5 sec, ISO 100; tripod and a dark room ...
NOTES
There is a chopstick fixated to the robot arm with gaffer tape, so I could move the robot sort of remotely :-))

To end it all, here is a smattering of leftover pictures. There are still more robots though, as apparently we are moving into Transformers Week next...
A metal sliver ground off with a slight heat tint and a hint of carbon. Garnished with fine drilled shavings and topped with 5W 40 engine oil.

Rampax is from a series of six 5" plastic robots made by CGGC in Italy. They were sold in kit form and had to be assembled. I don’t know when they were first produced, but I was given the individually boxed Rampax in 1985.
The six robots were not completely different, but shared components such as arms, legs and feet. These pieces were all interchangeable and it seems that some were randomly packed out, so the makeup of specific robots was inconsistent. Each robot had two distinct, spring launched weapons. The long weapon for the bent right arm protruded from the elbow and hooked in place; pushing up on the hook launched the weapon. The left arm had a mechanism in the shoulder that held the weapon in place while the arm was down, but launched the devise when the arm was raised.
The robots were also distributed in France by a company named Remus, which sold them in two sets of three. The French packaging was quite different from the Italian boxes that I’ve seen, but the plastic parts were still molded in Italy. Again, I have no idea of the original time line for these, but I obtained an incomplete set in 1991.
Five of the robots - Drakis, Torang, Fergus, Argon and Rampax - kept their names for both Italian and French issues. The sixth one, originally Satan in Italy, was renamed Mirox in France. I guess that the French didn’t want kids playing with the devil.
Nothing is entirely immune to the harsh environment of space. Out there, things and organisms degrade at a faster pace and in different ways. To understand how materials age beyond Earth’s atmosphere, up to 141 samples are spending a minimum of six months exposed to outer space for the Euro Material Ageing experiment.
Radiation, vacuum, temperature extremes and even space debris are hitting this selection of inorganic materials on Bartolomeo, Europe’s ‘front porch’ on the International Space Station.
No filters or protection allowed, each sample has a bare surface of 20 millimetres cramped between two aluminium plates. The diverse palette in this image shows metallic glass, ceramic composites, silicon, diamond-like carbon, carbon fibres and plastics, among others.
Europe has years of experience in sending biology samples to space, but this is the first time ESA and the French space agency CNES expose inorganic materials outside the Space Station.
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Nick Hague used the Station’s 17-metre-long robotic arm last December to place the Nanoracks airlock on Bartolomeo, where the experiment is facing the full spectrum of space environment hazards.
As Nick Hague said in a social media post, “Materials research is critical to our exploration of space. Vacuum, extreme hot and cold, radiation – these are the harsh realities of the space environment. The right materials can help us survive in space and dare to go further, and can also improve life on Earth!”
Euro Material Ageing is testing how exposure to space can be bad for the health of spacecraft components. Whether a mission is orbiting Earth or operates in deep space, unwanted effects include discoloration, embrittlement and buckling.
The Space Station experiences frequent changes from sunlight to darkness while circling our planet. Materials go through drastic temperature shifts from up to 150°C in sunlight down to –150°C in the shade. Such thermal stresses lead to accelerated ageing, potential cracking and misalignment.
Samples are exposed to highly reactive atomic oxygen formed at the topmost fringes of the atmosphere and known to eat away satellite surfaces. Materials in this experiment will also cope with ‘outgassing’ in vacuum – the gradual boiling away of chemicals and solvents – which could contaminate sensitive satellite surfaces such as lenses.
Results from the Euro Material Ageing experiment could inform the design of fire-retardant and rust-resistant materials, and better protection for satellites could in turn help improve plastic siding for your house.
The exposure time is planned between six and 18 months. After completion, the facility will be transferred back inside the International Space Station. A new set of samples will be waiting for a second immersion into the harshness of space.

1 A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

"Runaround"
Tre leggi della robotica
1 Un robot non può recar danno a un essere umano né può permettere che, a causa del proprio mancato intervento, un essere umano riceva danno.
2 Un robot deve obbedire agli ordini impartiti dagli esseri umani, purché tali ordini non contravvengano alla Prima Legge.
3 Un robot deve proteggere la propria esistenza, purché questa autodifesa non contrasti con la Prima o con la Seconda Legge.
