Building the First Android in Science Fiction Film!

We assemble, paint, and build a custom LED display for this beautiful 1/8 scale model of Futura, the humanoid robot seen in the 1927 science fiction film Metropolis! This kit from X-Plus recreates the first android ever depicted in cinema--an art deco design that's the clear inspiration for many cinematic androids in years to come. Follow along the build of the figure and our custom display using flexible LED filament!
