PAINTING AND TRIMMING THE BODY

You can paint your version of Questor any way you wish, but if
you are making a duplicate model of my version, the following
photos, Figs. 6-19 to 6-22, will better show how he is painted. I
only painted the upper portion of the robot so the robot would
look as if he were wearing a tuxedo jacket. The two colors used
are black and white. To paint the arms it is best to remove them
from the body; the upper arm is covered with lengths of leftover
black hosing from the vacuum system. Simply cut the hose to
length and slide it over the upper arm; the end-cap at the top
will hold it in place. Make sure you also paint Questor’s serving
tray, if needed, to match the rest of his body.

TRIM

There are still a few gaps on Questor’s body that need to be
covered to enhance his appearance; four of these gaps appear
where the panels of the upper framework meet the two access
panels at the top of the framework. Cover these gaps using
