Well thanks, I guess. He does have Marvin’s giant spherical head. And his droopy eyes. I guess that doesn’t really count in the “absolutely nothing like him.”

Maybe I should have added that I didn’t have the parts to do him in white (he’s not silver in the movie) and that Marvin was the inspiration. I never work to make my MOCs look exactly like something else because I think thats not very fun or creative.

And even if he doesn’t look like the movie version, I could equally claim that he’s my inspiration based on the movie and the book. The book doesn’t mention droopy eyes, silver finish, or fat body. It just says hes a hyperintelligent robot who is therefore depressed.

Hey Lenny, I suspect you missed the joke and that, like Mark's post downthread, Steve was mimicking Marvin's version of high praise. That said, you can't imagine how many "but Orthanc doesn't really look like that, because Peter Jackson says so" (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
