Doris

I had received a request two years ago to fabricate Doris from the Disney movie "Meet the Robinsons". Just recently I stumbled onto a handful of crab shell cracker tools and set about completing my mission. All aluminum horn mute "hat", a bunch of bicycle reflector arms, crab/lobster shell cracking tools, cantilever bike brake arms and the lens out of a microscope.

Who says robots can't have fun? I have to admit that finding (...preparing?) the parts for this bot were as much fun as actually creating it...hic! I've just returned from a job in Amsterdam and for some reason this beer icon was on my mind. Well, it just kinda fell together...can't wait to fabricate my next beer-bot...ah, the robots of summer.

Here's my "fat" entry for this weeks Illustration Friday subject. After checking out Illo Friday's new format which breaks out different categories, I wanted to try an assemblage creations. My wife suggested that the caption for this bot would be...I gotta stop SuperSizing!
