Nice! That looks like a
very clean casting.
Yeah, Randy's work is top of the line. If you want the best bot parts, go to him. So glad I got an engine from him. It took forever but it was sooo worth it.
OMG! He hacked and painted an ORIGINAL HOLY GRAIL engine block?!? :confused
Words, not...
...humanity, lost...
...faith, failing. :wacko
Yeah, I know.
The guy cut into the real engine block. Thank goodness there's not detail around that area. Randy/Gary's cast obviously restores that missing curve section.
What happened was the guy that found the engine, threw the car out (which he really regrets), and painted and glued it onto his Servo. After he posted pictures of it on the bot builder yahoo group did everyone started freaking out about the engine. Soon, the guy ripped the engine off and sent it to Gary Glover, the person who worked with BBI and wrote the official Bot Builder's Guide.
Gary made a mold of the engine and produced several casts. After that, he repainted the real engine and sent it back to the engine founder. Those pics in my previous post are from Gary. Randy sells a recast of Gary's engine, but Gary doesn't sell bot parts anymore so I guess it's okay.
Hey, I'm just really, really glad that we FINALLY have casts of the real engine instead of scratchbuilds. We still have no idea where the hands for Servo are from either. But we do have casts of them (I believe from a screen-used Servo).
Yup, he'll definitely be coming with me to DragonCon, ashden! I need to figure out a way to pack him and Crow up safely with me, lol.
