I'm still trial fitting some of the parts on the Scrubber.
I'm happy with everything so far, But I wish the lights were smaller.
Brenda painted the black hoses silver and the eye holder.
We're still working on the top hood area, Not quite happy yet.
The eye has a Pc board that fits inside and I have it cut.
and I didn't like the way it looked so I cut another in a full circle.
I also noticed there is a green Led inside the eye and I'll have to work on it.
I also started test fitting the buttons on the side to see how they will look.
This is as close as I could get to the buttons on the side of the Scrubber.
a CO2 cartridge from my BB gun and glued it to the oval for the bump.
After it dries I can clean it up and it should look OK.
for them to charge as they don't need it as much.
I'm working on the other end of the Scrubber hood.
This is the area where the large hoses will be attached.
I covered the red lid with styrene ans it's not looking too bad.
Still more work to come.
Well actually I should have said Goodie in the mail.
Anyway, The Vmusic came in today.
I'm following the setup from Astromech Factory to get sound in both our droids.
going and it will control the sound.
The other item I located this weekend was the bubble for the Scrubber Droid.
It's a Christmas bulb that separates and I can use one half to make the eye.
I'll need to fit a metal lid and cut the lid for the bubble to fit.
It should look similar to the eye on the original Scrubber.
I started making the end for the hoses to attach.
The hood is starting to look like the scrubber.
There will be allot of trimming and filler to get the parts to come together.
The led setup is under the hood and glued into place.
The only bad part of this build, If the leds go bad too bad.
Cutting a hole large enough to fix them would weaken the box too much.
I did alittle work on the hood and the Led setup.
I used a piece of aluminum I had and drilled some holes for the leds to mount.
I'll have to blackout the inside of the hood so the leds don't show through the top.
I'm not being real picky on this project, Because it's just something to do for now.
Here's a flasher setup I found at a online Auction.
The sellers name is Donnie and ships extremely fast.
He has other Led colors, You just have to ask for them.
flash modes,speeds,brightness and a connector for a external button.
He has other types of boards also.
I plan to use this in my Scrubber droid under the rear hood.
I know it's not movie correct, But it looks so cool doing the Knightrider flash.
The toilet plunger housing came in today!!
You can see it comes with a base and it's pretty easy to pull it apart.
I'll show some more pics tomorrow and you'll see how it turned out.
This was Azman's idea from his Scrubber Droid.
I've always wanted a real (Almost Real) Arcade machine.
have a stand up Arcade.
I'll add a design and cover this with clear Plexi.
I guess you guys have noticed I'm jumping around on projects allot.
But I have so many goodies I have been saving and now I'm using them up.
of styrene to cover the top for a smooth finish.
Since I have so much Vex goodies left over, I'm working with it to make the drive system for the Scrubber.
I need to get 2 small casters for the rear and it will drive easily.
I hope to get the lights and other goodies working and controlled by the Vex.
After removing the letters from this area, The panels are glued into place.
These aluminum panels are leftovers from my R2 skins and they fit perfect.
Yeah I know everyone knows what this will be used for, SCRUBBER DROID!!!!!
I've been wanting to build one and right now I need a break from R2.
Here's all the pics and videos we took at the show.
This is how you feel after the event is over.
Here's a pic of how we got our droids to MegaCon.
and taking pictures and video. It was alot of fun watching the faces.
I just wanted to Thank Jim & Yvonne for inviting us to MegaCon with the group.
This has been the most fun we've had in a long time.
Keith & Carolynn were there to put up with us again.
Doug with his R2 and as usual, Helped me solve some of my drive problems.
Jerry C. with his ideas for Brenda's R3.
Brad was so funny and kept the party going.
Aaron & Cassey for giving R2 a body guard.
Mark with his unusal goodies.
Trent and his happy attitude and others where there also.
wait to be there again.
I'll post some more pics soon.
Well Sunday was a different story for R2.
Seems like R2 was getting alittle moody and started showing off.
He decided to take on the Umbrella soldiers.
Here's a small video of the area where the droids were setup. Brenda has some more Video on her blog. We took alot of video and pictures and I'll post them soon. Some of the video was taken with our camcorder and I'll have to find a way to transfer them to our blogs.
