Ladies and gentlemen... Mr. TOM SERVO!!!

I pretty much finished up Tom Servo this weekend.  To be honest I think I went a little overboard with the multiple coats.  He looks great- the color is deep and smooth with a really nice sheen- he shines even- but he is a little on the maroon side.  I know the screen used Servos did change, but they tended to a more true ruby tint.  Maybe instead of 4 base coats and 3 finish coats, next time I'll go with 3 base, 2 finish.  The paint was a lot more forgiving than I'd anticipated though.  He could use another coat of silver on the beak and the engine block, and I have to do the inside of his beak (black), but he's pretty much done.  To display him, I have to take the head control rod off, and use a small tube, because the control rod extends past the hover skirt- I think I may do a mod on that.  He is fully functional though!  Also, the dome is held on by upside down cap that sits on top of the lower head piece and gravity.  I think if I ever take him out and about, I'll throw a couple of small dabs of hot glue down there to hold it down better.  All and all though, I am PSYCHED!

Here's the final paint, before silver.  See.. just a skosh over the line.

And there he is!  I'm going back into the front room and have another look!
