Good for you that they diden't stick with the auction, I was expecting the shells to go for more, good price. Which one have you got the white or green?

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

Exactly, I couldnt resist at that price! I got the White one and the feather, matt got the green one

Ok, keep it standard put in a decent FP or LP system. I'd go with poly on the existing armour to bulk it up. From the pictures the white one looked quite rusted around the seams how are they under the paint?

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

ill probably go for an envy style lp system but obviously with a rear hinged flipper. i dunno what jonny has planned for his

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

I'm planning on putting a merlin-esk style fp system in. The rust isn't too bad, i'll probably take of all the rust and paint then repaint it either blue and black or green and black. Slap a picture of a pug on it then maybe paint some skulls on

I may go FP but it depends on how my sponsor goes

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

Slightly off topic but if I made a robot which used a baseplate type chassis, what ways are there to do the armour/body work?

[mattsdragons]

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

in what way do you mean 'do'?

[Danjr1]

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

Mount it properly

Re: alternitive armour or different thickness

You tend to bolt the shell to the base plate
