I would love to have visited your shop when you were still open. This reminds me of the time I was visiting the Science Fiction Museum near LA in the 70's. They had the original Robby in his jeep. I wanted to get a good picture, but Robby's head needed turning toward the camera. The manager helped me rotate his head and I got the shot. I'll never forget the feeling of touching the original prop from the movie!

Great story. Thank you for sharing with us.

Your builds and collection are amazing. It's nice to see Johnny 5 sneaking in the video too :)

@PeterAgostiniJdcap26 3 года назад

Wonderful project John.. I would like to see the Robby the robot car come out again smaller scale definitely would buy ! Ty

@PeterAgostiniJdcap26 3 года назад

Also a build your own Robby the robot kit with wires and motor in small scale with step by step detailed instructions would be fun and do as well a B 9 one to .

@dannychristlieb5813 3 года назад

That would be awesome To make a 3d printable of Robbies transport vehicle

@Robothut 3 года назад

Yes , now if we can just find some with the time to do the basic CAD work. It would take me a month of work to get every thing just right and design to be 3d printed.

Just dawned on me looking at your large minature with RTD2 on back. The Robbie mobile predates Lukes landspeeder. If it got used in Star Wars, it would fit right in. Great collection and great craftsmanship.

@leniere309 Год назад

Great video, just an idea for anyone who would like to make a ride on version, for the drive mechanism you could use a second hand mobility scooter with a few alterations to fit the jeep. the main thing about using a scooter is that all the parts are there, motor wheels battery and charger all of it. Cheers.

@Robothut Год назад

Not sure if the mobility scooter could move the full scale version but it could move a scaled down version for sure. Great Idea.

@johnkeller9290 3 года назад

@dannychristlieb5813 3 года назад

Hi John how big would Robby's transportation car need to be to fit the walmart robby or the xplus vinyl robby would it need to be 24inches or 20 or 21 inches not sure what do you think size should be? G i joe scale figure size

@Robothut 3 года назад

From the tip of the lower front grill to the tip of the upper rear fin the Jeep would have to be 24 inches long "610 mm" to be in scale with the 14 inch tall Walmart Robby.

Hi John, This is so Cool ! I was able to see the Jeep Bill Malone had in his garage in 91' , your photos brought back memories of my visit. Thank you for all the inside info on Robby's Jeep ! Would you have measurements for the 16" Masudaya Robby jeep ? What did you use for the Tire size for the 16" Masudaya Robby jeep ? Thank you for sharing info on your incredible builds !!

To many years ago, the templates for the miniatures are long gone.

@rbarker1706 3 года назад

If you make the plans available, I plan(!) on making a walmart-scaled jeep from wood. With everything going on right now, I have the time. On the original Robby/Jeep miniature made for the movie, the 3 passengers were sculpted and cast in a hard rubber.

@Robothut 3 года назад

As a side note, the draftsman who drew the original plans of the Robby Jeep for the MGM art department, was Frank Paul Sylos. He has tons of art directing credits for films.

@dinofrangiamore Год назад

This is very interesting. Dig the dedication to the film and its iconic robo-props. Your collection/store/museum is amazing! Are you open to the public? I noticed a time machine was in there, and the bots from Silent Running. Could spend hours looking at all that cool stuff, thanks for sharing!

@Robothut Год назад

You can find videos just on the Tome Machine and the 3 drones in my Robothut channel of youtube. I used to be open to the public but old age and poor health have mostly put a end to that.

@potrzebieneuman4702 Год назад

Robby is my all time fav robot from my all time fav movie. I notice somewhere in your shop you have a model of Robby on a shelf and the model has a very yellowed dome. I have one about that size and the dome has yellowed and become brittle with age. Mine is a Comet brand model and is a vac form kit with metal parts, I was wondering if yours is the same kit ?. I bought it for a King's ransom in the late 80's or early 90's I think...it's 1/8th scale and was a devilishly difficult thing to build. I do enjoy the Forbidden Planet soundtrack as well, I have it in my music collection.

@jayducharme 3 года назад

I'm curious why, on your miniatures, you didn't just take a small complete Robby and place it in the front. It appears you had Robby only from the torso up.

@Robothut 3 года назад

On the 24 inch robby jeep it is the from the body up, just like in the movie. The only time robby was full head to toe was in the special effect walking out scene. But in my miniature it left room for the speaker digital playback unit and the radar motion detector.

@TheHateSpeechChannel 3 года назад

Happy to watch anything you put up about my favorite movie. I'm doing a robby arm /hand full size, you mentioned in a previous video the arm rings were 8 inch diameter, can you remember what the diameter of the larger wrist ring/cuff was, I'm thinking 11 or 12 inch? Thanks 👍

@Robothut 3 года назад

I will have to try to remember to check the diameter for you. I would love to have the original hand glove 3d scanned one day so other can have the stl file.

@TheHateSpeechChannel 3 года назад

@@Robothut thanks, i have watched a number of videos about photogrammetry and scanning from photographs is quite possible now rather than a stand alone 3d scanner.

@walterlyzohub8112 Год назад

This is a late suggestion but you could use a polarized filter to cut down on the glare.

@Robothut Год назад

That camera from 2 years ago was very old and has died. If I ever get the money for a new camera, then it would be nice to have polarized filters for it. The camera that I use now is even older and will die one day.

@dannychristlieb5813 3 года назад

I went to the link but I couldn't make out the measures on the blue print how long was the original jeep and how wide is it

@Robothut 3 года назад

Reading blue prints are more involved than that. You would have to look at all the profiles and keep track of the dimenitions they show to come up with the numbers you want. Save the images and print them out as large as you can. It will be help in coming up with dimentions. When I built the full scale jeep , I printed out the blue print images on clear printing material, then used a over head projector to enlarge them to full scale. You could do the same for any smaller scale as well. Its a lot of work, but all the information is there.

@lurkerrekrul Год назад

I know it wouldn't be practical, but I can't help feeling just a little disappointed that there's not a full Robby mounted in the jeep.

@Robothut Год назад

True. Not even in the movie. The scene where you see Robby walk out of the jeep was a set up shot, where they removed the battery powered front wheel drive unit and just put a flat board in there, for Robby to stand on. I guess if a rear drive and steering unit had been used the front could have just two wheels that did not steer far too the sides. the rest would be flat for the Robby to stand on.

@MikeDKelley 3 года назад

If ONLY someone would make a decent OBJ/FBX model of this (I would pay some decent amount of money for it). The only one I've found is piss-poor lo-res.

@Robothut 3 года назад

Back when I did tons of resin casting I made the Robby jeep in 3 different scales all blue print accurate. But those days are gone for me. There are a few guys working on 3d printable versions but they all have there faults.

@MikeDKelley 3 года назад

@@Robothut I wouldn't mind even one with faults, but I'm looking for something I can do 3D animations with (I already have Robby and Mobius home and a really good Mobius, Commander and Altaira. But the jeep would be fantastic).
