Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

The clear rod is a great improvement. The Probot being so light its weight won't affect the support

Agreed. I wasn't sold on the clear rod until I tried it. Looks much better with the snow base.

Yep - that's the dude I saved a link from too

I'm going to go cut a piece of tube right now just to see how it looks on the shelf, sheesh. I might soon have some tube left over from other projects - I'll let people know when I can send some out.

I would send out my extra rods, but I'm not in the US right now and that's where my rods are

The tube I had on hand to cut down was a little bigger than 3/8 - but it was no match for a heat gun set to 250ºC and come manual crimping. It'll do until the parts come in that contain the correct sized tube.

Has anyone suspended this guy from monofilament yet? That's likely how this shelf will be finished off later this year.

 

[generalgrevious]

so what size clear tube do you need for this I forget

When Lightsword sent me the clear rod he also included a clear tube, so to be able to choose the best. I like both, both are better than the black pole, but the clear rod is better than the hollow tube. The tube is now in Probot's box next to the original black rod

Yeah, a clear rod seems to be a bit less intrusive visually than a tube... but anything is better than black. I could see metal being chosen if he was heavy, but he's so light I have no fear using a clear tube.

In the meantime I also did the same with my Kenner Probe Droid

I just picked up a couple of 3/8" acrylic rods custom cut for $1 each from my local plastics shop. It's nice if you need a shorter or longer length. Also saves you from having to spend $10 on 5 rods when you really only need one

 

[Tee-Kay]

I wish i had that kind of shop around. Gotta rely on the web for my part.

 

[marker2037]

Same here. Oh the difficulties of island life

Any pics of the Kenner probot with clear rod?

Broke down and got one of these.

Very, very happy!

Dude, who still owns a tube TV? Lol just kidding

 

[Fremen]

Can't afford a better TV cause of the money I spend on this crap.

Kidding.

Dude...

That looks a like a cat, Romulus, that I took care for of a little while. Huge guy and unfortunately insanely needy for a cat.

Dude...

Maybe he calls all women Dude? Or doesn't see/read signatures.

CRT is the best, still perfectly viable depending on what you are going to display. I'm still bummed SED went nowhere as a format.
