    Well when i brought my ebot
    [​IMG]
    i had plans to do a Tachikoma theme to it but life got in the way and set stoped that however time is now back on my side and i have been able to restart the project.
    Ill make this clear from the start, it will be nothing like this oneTachikoma mod
    Mine will just be a suttle mod to make it look different.
    I have chosen to do the Uchikoma/fuchikoma because it (IMHO) more closely matches the Ebot.

    Striped of most of the pannels (opps i broke the screw hole in the slimline drive tray (and hopes thats all i broke :worried: )
    [​IMG]
    Front and left pannels
    [​IMG]
    top and right pannel
    [​IMG]
    Ive striped of all the natty little trim pieces to re use later
    [​IMG]
    and now for the progress missing from the old log (BTW mods feal free to delete old log)
    The pannels are now got 2 layers of plastic prime even though i took the picture before i applied the secound coat :duh:

    looks like the paint reacted with something that was already on the surface ...
