    These are largely inspired by a guy on Etsy (Valerobots) and I decided to try my hand at making some little robots.


    This is the first one I did. The body base is made from a "World Peacekeepers" figure, which I buy because I want their accessories for my Joes.

    The next ones are pretty similar.

    This one has a more elaborate paint job and is overall more robot-y. I have a hard time capturing it in photos, but I am super happy with this one's paint job in person.

    And here's the last two:

    Love the red one. It would look even better with weapons instead of hands

    There's definitely a little bit of 9 in there. :p 

    Do it! Everyone's got lids and stuff laying around.

    The next one is definitely going to have weapon hands.

    There's definitely some 3A aesthetic in there, too.

    Thank you! :)

    :D  What's up man!?

    I saw Finn on your etsy and loved it.

    I also mentioned/linked you in a Reddit post I made about these. Hopefully one or two people found their way to your shop.

    I love it when people make robots out of scraps and other things that no one else needed and your work is no exception.
