Photos 1,2,3,4,5,6, our newest additional to this gallery. A great diorama
built by England model builder Stuart Smith. Custom alien planet base for
that realism effect.

Dallas Texas. A special alien rock base was added to this diorama. Also
moveable torso and arms add to this special B-9er.

was added for that great special effect look.
Photos, 21,22,23, built and painted by David Gutierrez. Done in 2nd & 3rd

kit was done in different grey tone colors, by David Gutierrez.

The Robot chest area was painted red instead of the clear plastic normally
left unpainted by most model builders.
Photos 31,32,33,34, is an original Aurora kit. A wooden base & engraved name
plate is included in this diorama. I obtained this kit from a "Toy Shop"
auction several years ago. The owner had many Aurora kits in his collection
and spent a small fortune to special detail to each kit made.

built by Jerry VonMueller.

special. Built and painted by Jerry VonMueller of New York.

Jerry VonMueller spent hours adding many new features to this one-of-a-kind
robot.
Photos 48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57, is yet another Polar Lights kit. This
comes from the model studio of Glenn Rodriguez of Brookfield, Illinois. A very
nice neat and clean paint job, any Robot lover would be proud of. The bottom
of the base is completely felted for that final touch. The arms and torso also
moves and rotates for a new poses in week.
Photos 58,59, are promotional photos from the Polar Lights company.
Photos 60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74, are additional photos from
Stuart Smith of the UK. As to Stuart's previous Spindrift diorama which was
featured on our website. This was the first Robot B-9 kit Stuart ever did. His
work is marvelous, and we hope to see more of his work in the near future.
