That would be awesome
To make a 3d printable of Robbies transport vehicle
Yes , now if we can just find some with the time to do the basic CAD work. It would take me a month of work to get every thing just right and design to be 3d printed.
Wonderful project John.. I would like to see the Robby the robot car come out again smaller scale definitely would buy ! Ty
Also a build your own Robby the robot kit with wires and motor in small scale with step by step detailed instructions would be fun and do as well a B 9 one to .
Hi John how big would Robby's transportation car need to be to fit the walmart robby or the xplus vinyl robby would it need to be 24inches or 20 or 21 inches not sure what do you think size should be?
G i joe scale figure size
From the tip of the lower front grill to the tip of the upper rear fin the Jeep would have to be 24 inches long
"610 mm" to be in scale with the 14 inch tall Walmart Robby.
Your builds and collection are amazing. It's nice to see Johnny 5 sneaking in the video too :)
I would love to have visited your shop when you were still open. This reminds me of the time I was visiting the Science Fiction Museum near LA in the 70's. They had the original Robby in his jeep. I wanted to get a good picture, but Robby's head needed turning toward the camera. The manager helped me rotate his head and I got the shot. I'll never forget the feeling of touching the original prop from the movie!
Great story. Thank you for sharing with us.
Very Cool. As a machinist I love the blue prints.
Thanks!
- Cook): "Look @ all the stuff?"
- Robby): "Stuff, ___, sir?"
Just dawned on me looking at your large minature with RTD2 on back. The Robbie mobile predates Lukes landspeeder. If it got used in Star Wars, it would fit right in. Great collection and great craftsmanship.
Nice builds and information on the Jeep!
Thank you. More cab be found on the Alphadrome web site.

You are one hell of Craftsman Forbidden Planet was one of my favorite movies as a child you've done incredible job. Wow the Silent Running robots too.
Thank you.
Seeing that jeep driving down the road with Robbie in front would still scare the crap out of me today.
You da man!
Keep up this great work and stay safe.
Such a cool project...
So glad you found it interesting.
Robby's Landcar always reminded me of the classic 1956 Pontiac Club de Mer sports car prototype built for the 1956 GM Motorama.
This is great! I am lovin' this!
Amazing collection! Robby was my favorite when i was a kid
If you make the plans available, I plan(!) on making a walmart-scaled jeep from wood. With everything going on right now, I have the time. On the original Robby/Jeep miniature made for the movie, the 3 passengers were sculpted and cast in a hard rubber.
The plans are posted on the Alphadrome web site. Link in the discripition.

As a side note, the draftsman who drew the original plans of the Robby Jeep for the MGM art department, was Frank Paul Sylos. He has tons of art directing credits for films.
Great video, just an idea for anyone who would like to make a ride on version, for the drive mechanism you could use a second hand mobility scooter with a few alterations to fit the jeep.
the main thing about using a scooter is that all the parts are there, motor wheels battery and charger all of it.
Cheers.
Not sure if the mobility scooter could move the full scale version but it could move a scaled down version for sure. Great Idea.
Robot hut ,thanks for the fun video!
I'm curious why, on your miniatures, you didn't just take a small complete Robby and place it in the front. It appears you had Robby only from the torso up.
On the 24 inch robby jeep it is the from the body up, just like in the movie. The only time robby was full head to toe was in the special effect walking out scene. But in my miniature it left room for the speaker digital playback unit and the radar motion detector.
@@Robothut Interesting! Thanks.
Your driving me crazy😂 I don’t have the time to build this one because I would have to build a bigger garage 🤪
I have one scaled to fit the Walmart Robby. But I had to shave off his oversized hip joint to get him to fit. XPlus Robby fits better
What scale is your jeep.to fit walmart robby
How long is the jeep need to be for the walmart robby
Hi John, This is so Cool ! I was able to see the Jeep Bill Malone had in his garage in 91' , your photos brought back memories of my visit. Thank you for all the inside info on Robby's Jeep ! Would you have measurements for the 16" Masudaya Robby jeep ? What did you use for the Tire size for the 16" Masudaya Robby jeep ? Thank you for sharing info on your incredible builds !!
To many years ago, the templates for the miniatures are long gone.
@@Robothut I had your other 16" jeep from the Karris collection, it did not have moving tires, the lower piece had the wheels molded in. It was very heavy too.
@@bahihut4672 Yes that was a resin solid cast body version.
Robby is my all time fav robot from my all time fav movie. I notice somewhere in your shop you have a model of Robby on a shelf and the model has a very yellowed dome. I have one about that size and the dome has yellowed and become brittle with age. Mine is a Comet brand model and is a vac form kit with metal parts, I was wondering if yours is the same kit ?. I bought it for a King's ransom in the late 80's or early 90's I think...it's 1/8th scale and was a devilishly difficult thing to build.
I do enjoy the Forbidden Planet soundtrack as well, I have it in my music collection.
I kept telling Polar Lights they should model "Robby's 'Rod"; wish they'd listened! Do prints still exist for the C57D tractor? Thanks for this!
Page 61 0f the Cinefantastique mag has some drawing for the Tractor.

@@Robothut Thanks!
Whatever happened to the original C-57-D Tractor? Was it scrapped?
It amazes me how much people collect and horde throughout their lives and then when we pass away, we leave it all behind for someone else to sell.
So the jeep became Santa’s sleigh!!! 😎
So true.
Where is your shop? You should be a tourist destination (if you aren't already)!
I am in the Spokane WA area USA.
This is a late suggestion but you could use a polarized filter to cut down on the glare.
That camera from 2 years ago was very old and has died. If I ever get the money for a new camera, then it would be nice to have polarized filters for it. The camera that I use now is even older and will die one day.
Thank You!
If ONLY someone would make a decent OBJ/FBX model of this (I would pay some decent amount of money for it). The only one I've found is piss-poor lo-res.
Back when I did tons of resin casting I made the Robby jeep in 3 different scales all blue print accurate. But those days are gone for me. There are a few guys working on 3d printable versions but they all have there faults.
@@Robothut I wouldn't mind even one with faults, but I'm looking for something I can do 3D animations with (I already have Robby and Mobius home and a really good Mobius, Commander and Altaira. But the jeep would be fantastic).
I know it wouldn't be practical, but I can't help feeling just a little disappointed that there's not a full Robby mounted in the jeep.
True. Not even in the movie. The scene where you see Robby walk out of the jeep was a set up shot, where they removed the battery powered front wheel drive unit and just put a flat board in there, for Robby to stand on. I guess if a rear drive and steering unit had been used the front could have just two wheels that did not steer far too the sides. the rest would be flat for the Robby to stand on.
So Robby's Landcar was based on a Crosley chassis and motor?
This is very interesting. Dig the dedication to the film and its iconic robo-props. Your collection/store/museum is amazing! Are you open to the public? I noticed a time machine was in there, and the bots from Silent Running. Could spend hours looking at all that cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
You can find videos just on the Tome Machine and the 3 drones in my Robothut channel of youtube. I used to be open to the public but old age and poor health have mostly put a end to that.
Happy to watch anything you put up about my favorite movie. I'm doing a robby arm /hand full size, you mentioned in a previous video the arm rings were 8 inch diameter, can you remember what the diameter of the larger wrist ring/cuff was, I'm thinking 11 or 12 inch? Thanks 👍
I will have to try to remember to check the diameter for you. I would love to have the original hand glove 3d scanned one day so other can have the stl file.
@@Robothut thanks, i have watched a number of videos about photogrammetry and scanning from photographs is quite possible now rather than a stand alone 3d scanner.
@@TheHateSpeechChannel Yes I can take the 60 photos needed no problem but my computer will not run the program to make the conversion.
Thanks for Sharing. Awesome video
You are amazing!!!!
I try.
@@Robothut hahahaha
Awesome. And thanks again for sharing.
Amazing !
I went to the link but I couldn't make out the measures on the blue print how long was the original jeep and how wide is it
Reading blue prints are more involved than that. You would have to look at all the profiles and keep track of the dimenitions they show to come up with the numbers you want. Save the images and print them out as large as you can. It will be help in coming up with dimentions. When I built the full scale jeep , I printed out the blue print images on clear printing material, then used a over head projector to enlarge them to full scale. You could do the same for any smaller scale as well. Its a lot of work, but all the information is there.
That's wow wow wow
Thank you.
Wow, it was on the Twilight Zone.
A little modified but still it was there.
