Lost In Space Sky Pirate Parrot

[KevinD]

Here is my scratchbuild of the parrot from the Lost In Space episode The Sky Pirate. I'm not a great fan of the series but I can never resist a robot bird.
This one seems a direct ancestor of Polyphase Avatron from Doctor Who, one of my all time favourites.

Model is made from milliput, plasticard, aluminium sheet and a couple of plastic candle moulds.

Man a ton of Lost In Space fans would want that, with me at the top of the list!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Thanks, much appreciated.

Just to show you my penchant for tv birds, here are some others I've done.

The Iron Chicken from The Clangers

Also a Wol from the same show.

Sage the Owl from The Herbs

Professor Yaffle from Bagpuss

I know, I do need to get out more.

Some awesome builds there, especially love the Professor!

 

[KevinD]

Thank you, yes, I think he is my favourite, along with Polyphase Avatron.

That turned out great!

Thanks, I'm quite pleased with the little chap.

Here’s my 3D printed version. I haven’t finished the speaker under the beak yet.

Nice, another world for me, 3D printing. I'm still using a modelling knife, glue and filler at the dining table! Very much analogue rather than digital is my stuff.

Old school skills are worth holding on to!
