Another ISM with a twist..Frank-in Space..Man

[Micromeister]

Last time I ordered MMX motors I picked up a couple Fliskits on-line as well.
One was an Intergalactic Space Man Kit.
The Kit want together in no time at all (I didn't realize he's a feather weight recovery model).

As I finished the building I noticed one of the front leg pieces formed an interesting void in just the right space... My Spaceman has a belly button!!! Which got me thinking about how I wanted to paint and finish this model. Again looking at the flat head and other features it struck me he might make a Robot or robot frankenstein... or Frank-in-Space...man.
So with this as a base, started adding Rivets and looking for suitable neck bolts...we'll find something Soon I'm sure.
It also struck me why not start him off as a robot in the Steam-punk vain then expand from there. Perhaps a 2-Faced, Happy and Sad "Frank" or Halloween Green faced Frank... he's still a work in progress.

Went together so quick I didn't think to take build photos...had to start with Frank in primer Here's where we are at the moment.

Working on custom face decals. I'll likely use some of the provided decals as well when I finish the detailing...Hair or no hair...Green face, hands or arms... still a bunch of undecided things to go This one has been really fun fooling with I must say

Frank got his green features , usual flat top and his two faced personality over the weekend.

Printed his new face on inkjet rather then my Alps just for fun which ment I had to back up his big smile and open frown with a small patch of white vinyl that seems to have worked out will.

digging through my micro scale fasteners last night I finally found some 00-90 machine screws and tiny hex nuts to make his neck bolts. Sorry I didn't have a change to take a photo of them installed.
Once his neck bots are set and I've printed and applied a couple "Frank-in-Space man" decals on this ring fin base we'll call him ready for flight

Now, THAT'S creative! A face on the front and back, depending on his mood

I love it!

The one face looks like he's constipated O'K maybe not.

Sorry, but I was trying to figure out what the middle fin in front was supposed to be

Easier to balance on two legs than three, silly

We'll ignor the lude comments, remembering this is a Family friendly forum
instead going directly to the finished photos.

He's ready for flying. sorry for the slightly out of focus pics...this little camera seems to have a mind of it's own when trying to get closeups.

Great details on a really small rocket, good job!
