Ok so I suppose I should comment as to why I am bothering to do the upgrade. My beloved dog has taken battle damage at cons, and inevitably so will yours. When you first do this you wont necessarily stop to think about all the little safety precautions you could add or you will find you missed a few. I am still choosing to be blind to most of the things I know I could and probably should do to protect him from future repairs. However, I believe repair will be inevitable no matter what, something will always happen.
Lets start with your options for a shell for your K-9. What should you make it out of?
First pick your material. Pick something your comfortable with. If your good with a few how to video's, books or blogs, and feel confident that you can duplicate the process koodos for you. If it stresses you out to think..'what IS fiberglass resin?' you might want to stick to the simpler products. This does NOT make your K-9 any less cool. Remember if your going to to feel you have taken on to big of a project you will either not have fun during the build or never complete it.
Second Choose what plans you want to follow. So far as I know there are 4 Choices at the k-9 builders club there is a set from Dave Everett linked below you should join this group to obtain copies. The Lespaceplie plans, The BBC released plans, and your own imagination.
k9.replicarobots.net - very nice set
lespaceplie.com - web pages currently not working
BBC - These can be found all over the net
In your MIND!
Back tracking threw sites I found that most of the plan links have shut down. Hopefully they will reopen.
That's enough for now see you later with more stuff you wont read. lol
