I'm the guy with the original Tom Servo engine block, if you remember me. Anyway, quite awhile ago I sent it to Gary Glover to make cast resin replicas of,...
Hey guys, I just bought a set of Crown pins (not from anyone on here)and pretty much got raped on it. So to offset the cost, Im selling some of theses pins. If...
Well, I've got one block left, and according to my Hotmail inbox, thirteen takers! So I've decided to put this last block of mine up on ebay. It's listed...

OK so I bought the copy of the original toy motor of tom. So how the hell can I kake a copy of it? I cant vacuform it, seeing as its plastic, So, I guess Id...
Well, you WOULDN'T want to vacuum form it. That's the process of taking something and basically laying a sheet of plastic on it and letting the sheet make a...
Actually, the engine block duplicate from Gary Glover is not plastic. It's a cast resin duplicate of the original. The Gary Glover duplicate is cast resin. The...
Why would you vacuform it? Out of stupidity. As best as I understood it that was the process. Ok, so its unanimous that I make a mold, and that you can buy the...
You make molds from RTV silicone (fast curing rubbery stuff), last time I checked it's about $35 a pound. Plus there's the learning curve. You can google mold...
Hey y'all. I'm looking towards making my very own Crow T. Robot, but I need some help with locating parts. As I'm sure all of you are aware that certain parts...
Hi, Well I'm cleaning house so... if you (or anyone in group) would be interested in purchasing the Crow I had been working on, along with exrta parts, now is...
Thanks Jim, While it is tempting, I simply cannot afford to actually pay a fully built Crow at this time. Besides, being a model builder, I'd rather much like...
I know it's rare but it's one of the only Servo pieces' for which I can't track down a brand name or original identity. It vaguely resembles a DUPLO building...
It's the yellow engine from a pink toy car. Only one person I know of has ever found an original, and we have no information about the manufacturer of the...
I'm sorry Jessica we may never find another orginal part. I think it's going to be like one of those "Bigfoot" or "Loch Ness Monster" type of deal. I'm sure we...

Hello fellow botbuilders! I have a report about my experience on Saturday in the newly opened "Dimensions In Time" comic store in Sacramento, California where...
Mascot has all the enthusiasm and websites but he can't use the power tools or utility razor yet. Mom is getting frustrated with Servo's head assembly!! Help...
Jessica, yes, keep cutting with the saw. I used a hacksaw, goes a bit faster; cut carefully, but keep at it. To build Tom you need to disassemble his head....

Oh my gosh you guys are brilliant! We heated the nail and it worked like a charm! What a great idea, thank you. Mascot was immediately at Tom with a piece of...
... Happy to help! ... Generally the closer to the front of that plastic piece you make the hole, the further you can open his mouth - but too far forward and...
Or just retract the beak (pull it down as far as it will go) You'll see the lever come up through the top (with the globe off) Then drill the hole from the top...
The dome is off, and I didn't break it :) The second melted hole worked great. I got in the eye hook. But then, they eye hook came out after an hour of string...
... Get a thicker eye hook if you can, it's pretty essential that it be held in by more than the glue, as that's the most stress-bearing part of the whole bot....
My advice is to start a very tiny hole with a sharp point and then actually screw the eye hook into the plastic. Failing that I'd want to hold it in place...
