MELE KALIKIMAKA YOU CRAZY KIDS!
Well, actually got to progress further on the robot Tiki side,so I guess I'll post some progress shots! Got a Dremel tool with a gazillion attachment bits for Christmas,so keep your eyes peeled for some actual wood carving! Well, not really carving...dremel-ling you would call it!Don't want to diss all those muscular carvers! But, being the boy with the atrophied arms, I figured I'd start with the Dremel and go from there!
Anyways.....Hope you all had a grand Holiday and here's some pix to make your season brighter!
Here it is in total,half painted/half dialed to perfection....
Please excuse the raggedy outline on this shot-bad cropping! Sheesh! Looks like TeaKey cropped this one in his Paint program! :lol:

here's the top, powered by the brain of a shrunken head! I know,I know,they remove the brain and fill the skull with hot rocks to shrink it or something like that,but this is a Robot Tiki! That's already pushing the limits of believability and Tiki,so let it go man!
Here is the Head,encased in some sort of bubbly liquid...

Here's the middle, coming along alright....I decided to make this side a bit more colorful than the wooden natural side,more so I don't get bored ....

Here it is a bit further down...The middle is actually the hardest to paint because you have to paint it sideways.(well I do 'cause I rest it on my lap...) I can handle the right side up and upside down painting,but sideways messes with me for some reason...

And lastly, here's the bottom...I photographed it on it's stand, so some detail may be lost, but I'll present a decent more detailed pic without the stand when it's done!

That's about it! I gotta date with a dremel! Hope you're having a Grand Holidays Ohana!
