ROM Spaceknight

This is my first attempt at ROM Spaceknight. Made in Tinkercad, the design was based on original drawings by Sal Buscema. The model started as just a bust, but ultimately deserved arms and legs. A lot of the construction is influenced by the original Parker Brothers toy.

In issue #2 the narrator states that ROM has "red eyes blazing like live coals!" To recreate this effect, I've left the eye holes hollow and made the back of the head wall thin enough to let light in. This model has a slot on the top of the head to insert a small piece of red lighting gel. When light passes through, it should give the appearance of glowing red eyes (untested).
I do realize ROM is a cyborg, but there is only a Model Robots category.
