Ditto, its a sweet movie that reminds me of being a kid. And its totally awesome that someone is doing a build for it!
Its awesome to see these little guys up close and in such detail, i love the little blue guy.
A big thankyou for the photo share, brings mack some memories.
As i recall, im pretty sure one of the parent ships were destroyed id heard, there is some ref out there of both, but its one of those "sensitive" issues sadly, still, its great to see the little guys.

Would like a set of these.
I would like to know what model parts , if any were used on these. On the larger brown one it looks like a morser karl part was used.

I know this is an old topic, but I never got the pics in the link sved to my HD. And now the Hi Res seems to be gone. At least I can't get them to work. Does any of you have a copy of these saved, and if so could I possible get them as well?
Thanks

great stuff. A good friend of mine was 2nd unit AD. Would love to have a set of robots to give him!

I may do a set of posters of these. But for now it's just for building them. I found them in kit form. But they are horribly cast, a lot of detail is missing. I'm just trying to replicate as much lost detail as possible. I got Flotsam and Jetsam. And at least the legs are totally unusable.
To illustrate my point, this blob of almost clear red resin is supposed to be the eyes and intricate detail seen behind the in the photo below.
I will cut off all material and only leave the "figure 8" shape, and scratch the rest. And even that will require a lot of clean up, due to unwanted air bubbles.
Don Bies worked on these!!
Those are Golden Armor kits correct?

Yes, and they come highly unrecommended.

Some of the reasons why I will not recommend these kits from Golden Armor.
The eye part for the blue guy, basically just a chunk of clear red resin.
Almost all detail on the sides are destroyed, and unsalvageable. The domes for the eyes are textured and has big gobs of resin spilled around the rims.
The "glasses" are bumpy and filled with holes. These are the only thing I will keep and try to repair.
Do not get these unless you have a very intimate relationship with your rotary tool.
I cut of the the back, and cut out the eyes. These will be replaced with glass marbles.
On this knee joint there is a clear visible fingerprint. The leg has been broken, and glued back together. There is glue spilled all over the joint.
Besides this the details are all wrong, uneven, and in some areas that should be crisp they look like they were done in play-doh.
Legs for this one, and the copper one will be rebuilt from scratch.
