I'll do one video overview for this guy. For the moment, the pix below generally tell the tale.
You can find his full build log here:

This is great! I really love that "evil" robot from Disney's "Black Hole" To me, it's just a cool looking bot. You should hook up some sound somehow :)

Wow. I forgot about this post. He desperately needs an airbrushing. I'll try to get that video review done sooner than later.

The closest I've come to integrating sounds into a model is on my B-9. I had a sound activated light module that I never got to work with him. My idea was that when people talk around him, he lights up like the show. Never getting the sound module to work, I just put a contact switch in his legs and left it at that. http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=238401

With Max, since he was the strong, silent type, I wouldn't put any sounds in him. I will say that he has massive room in the chest for some heavy electronics work though. So if anyone comes across a kit, you've got lotsa options.

I would put sounds into vincent if I ever could afford to ebay one of him since he was the talkative type. Maybe he'll get a re-release in the next year or so. I'd like to get the Cygnus too. They are both far too expensive nowadays. MPC must have made big runs of Max to be able to get him so cheaply when you do find one.

I havent seen too many instances of sound integrated into models here. I know it can be done, but have no clues on how to go about it. Hopefullly someone will demo a build of some sort.

Thanks for digging this guy up, Dale.

I have quite a few very old models I need to dig up too. Having a 3 and 4 year old sons puts my focus more on them. But I'm getting around to my old model kits slowly but surely.

Here are just pictures of the voice/cheast light circuit for the robot in my one Chariot, I'll post videos when the Chariot is done....;) It will be remotely controled from the outside.
