I have just kept on reading and reading... just imagine when B9 was built for the series, who would have thought that there would be a group of people looking at details to recreate the Robot. If there were a way to go back in time and record their process and later interview them I wonder what more would we know
Well I sent out for mine

Thanks Chris, this is super, it will be a great addition to my B9 library. But now instead of just upgrading my treadsections, I may have to redo most of my old B9! Not! But maybe some stuff. But for anyone building new, this would be the ultimate research tool. Reminds me of I recently went through seasons two and three on the newly released DVDs and tracked the colors, type and positions of the belly light lenses to see how they changed over time. Actually in season 3 they stayed the same the whole season! Season 2 they varied somewhat from time to time. I had to stop and step through back and forth as lights on or off behind the lenses can be deceiving. So my point is, I can t even imagine how much time and effort you have put into this project. Can t wait for it to arrive. Bob G. B9-0017

To: B9Builders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [B9Builders] New Club Vendor Added - Chris Pappas Thanks, Dave, for that awesome review! Those who know me will know the lengths I will go through to make something as good as it can possible be. This collection is the result of that drive. To make the best robot parts, I knew that I had to have the best reference library. One didn t exist, so I made it. Having information like this at your disposal is invaluable. I m sure everyone wants their robot to be as accurate as possible, and what s the key to achieving that goal? Visual reference. In order to have accuracy, you have to have reference. I spent months putting together the material for the disk, not including decades of tracking down publicity photos, sometimes buying the same ones three or more times to upgrade the quality. For the screen caps, I literally went through every scene. Back and forth, over and over trying to get every bit of data possible on the robot. To get a handle on the changes the robot underwent, I named the files with an FO-## (filmed order) prefix so they could be viewed in the order that the episodes were filmed. This was especially important for the third season where many episodes were not aired in the order they were filmed. I ended up with more than 6,500 frames. You get it all; close-ups, extreme close-ups medium shots and long shots. There are so many things yet to be discovered about the robot. One revelation from this project has been the definitive rib count which I have already shared with the group. The link for the disk is:

Subject: [B9Builders] New Club Vendor Added - Chris Pappas
Hi fellow B9 builders, I have an exciting announcement! ............... As I've hinted the past few days we've added a new club vendor................... We're fortunate to have had Chris Pappas approach us wanting to offer the club an amazing collection of over 6500 high resolution screen shots from virtually every shot the robot ever appeared in. Tat's not all! there is also other media included like publicity shots and proof sheets. It's an amazing collection and the detail of every shot and resolution offered is stunning! Chris's attention to every detail in this collection is head shaking. You've got to see them to really appreciate this! This offering is going to be an amazing aid to anyone building a B9 Robot weather you are scratch building or building with acquired parts. There's really nothing I can say that can describe the quality and details you will see in every shot and how valuable this will be to anyone building a B9. So please visit Chris's vendor page for a full description of this unique reference material. There are a number of sample pictures there that you can click on that will take you stright to a full resolution HD screen shot. Near the bottom you'll will find a easy to use PayPal button to order. Here's the direct link:
