zebedee Posted Wednesday at 10:37 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:37 AM Just arrived in the post this morning was a complete rodger robot from 1961, can't believe its stayed in this condition. I will be building him over the weekend, someone has already tried to put his legs together before otherwise I'd have left it, I will post some pictures when I'm done. Are these common in the UK.

robothut Posted Wednesday at 02:38 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:38 PM There is a topic on alphadrome called The last days of Roger the Robot - ROBOT TALK Where I show my Rodger the robot that I had as a kid and Later I bought one mint in box unbuilt. I then built it and it is displayed the Robothut to this day. For many years I thought there was a variation of the Rodger robot but turns out I liked the back of the body artwork better so built mine as a kid with the body turned around. I show the Rodger the robot many times in some of the walk threw of the Robothut, it sits on a shelf up above the Full size B9 robot I built back the 1990's.

zebedee Posted Wednesday at 03:31 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:31 PM Thanks for the link robothut, tinplate6 tells a sad story with a happy ending, I've just got some polyurethane satin varnish for it, did you turn the body the right way round?? I'm also looking forward to seeing it built to Andyman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedee Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago Started to build rodger at the weekend but the legs are driving me insane how a child was supposed to have built it without a maths degree is beyond me, I'm afraid of it breaking into pieces so I'll be taking my time, here's what got done.....
