Just set up my new LOTR topper- it's a "Toybiz" fell beast kit.
Still needs model putty, airbrush & drybrush, adjust the angle of the dangle etc.
Couldn't wait to post, what with all the excitement about LOTR LE Gold and so forth . . .
(my LOTR is a good as new standard one)


Once again you have another awesome topper Max.   ^^^

My latest "Top Hat Topper" very simple but looks OK to me.
Not sure I'd like to see Narf's massive Balrog . . .
that sort of thing generally incurs a firm warning from administration.

Answer: It's 19mm black plastic tee molding with the tee cut off and glued on with contact.
Now that I have a router, I do it properly.
It's a lot of rooting/routing? around but the result is pretty tidy.
You can get 3/4" (correct width) Black, Chrome & Red by the metre from madmat0077 on Aussie Ebay
or just plain black 19mm (0.5mm OS) from a shopfitting outlet.
I gather from your avatar you also have a TOM . . . WONDERFUL machine "the theatre awaits!"

Did you know he was designed by the same person who designed the robot for Lost in Space.. Robby the Robot also appeared on an episode of Lost in SPace.

I managed to stand inside the 'feet' of the lost-in-space "B9" robot when it visited my work for a TV special, and met Dr.Smith too.....
The voice of B9 wasn't there, so they sent a CD full of his typical sayings, which were played on cue with Dr.Smith's dialogue...
oh the pain.

MM.

Been a long time coming, but I finally found a terminator head.

Now all I have to do is pull it apart and wire up the eyes with the skull on the playfield.
