Splatter and Dodge/Behind the Scenes

Gauge 1 Models
Splatter and Dodge's models were recycled from 'Arry and Bert's models, which were custom built to run on Gauge 1 track and created out of molds of Diesel's model.

The chassis' were constructed from scratch (CNC). They were powered by electricity from the track via the pickups on the metal wheels.

There were five different facial expressions sculpted for both Splatter and Dodge, although only four were used on screen. The faces were first sculpted in clay, and from that resin casts were made using a silicone mold.

The eye mechanism had two servos, one for up and down movement and one for left and right movement. The up/down servo was attached to the body. The left/right servo had a rod attached to the arm, which connected to a bracket. The eye balls were coupled to the bracket, and locked in by the face-plate, so whenever the servos were powered, the eye balls would move however the crew member desired.
