Vulcan!

So check what just showed up at my house. A 1/60 Vulcan Battlemech grown directly from CG files by Bob Green of Green Pixel Projects.

It cost a little bit more than your average garage kit but I think its worth it to have a one of a kind item.






As you can see from these pics the detail is pretty damn good and yes thats a 1/60 figure there at its feet so I think the size looks right on.





Oh I cant wait until I can get his Scorpion and Hatamoto Chi.

Awesome!

Fresh from the primer its the MW4 Awesome.
Once again I used the paper pattern as my template and Im so happy. The Awesome has been one of my favs since the original TRO Loose drawing.
Granted the MW4 style is a bit different than the original but I still love it.




























Next up......

Some more Hollander pics

This one is going to be for me and so I had to mod just a couple of things for a new pose. Its just going to be a simple step forward pose but that requires I remove the locator bit on the hip/leg bit.




oh and I drilled out a hole for the hands in the forearm. You can do this or remove the stub from the hand, either way works fine.












On the feet, I removed a bit off the back of the "toe" so it would pivot .
And thats basically all Im going to do to it before painting.
























And the next one I build for myself will get this big ass gun!
Too much?

Mon Remonda update

Its been a slow week thanx to work, but last night I was able to do a little more to the MR.
Basically finished off the scribing I wanted to do, although I may go back and add some more.
Then I got busy attaching a bunch of blisters to the hull.
It looks like more than enough right? Nope. Just take a look at the Anigrand ship and you will see several hundred little bits, mine has maybe 60.
Anyway, more to add.
Oh and my plan for the engines failed. Gonna have to rethink that.
Or maybe commission someone to turn a set. Any volunteers?

A little extra

a few photos of mechs sitting in primer awaiting final colours.

Dragon

Here I go again. Another BT mech quickly done by using the paper plans to help.
I really have to say its not as easy as you may think. Sure the plans really help you get the size and proportions right, but all the surface details, the cut-ins and recessed details can trip you up if you dont plan ahead.
That said, this only took a little over week to get to this point. Next time you see this one it will have a urban camo scheme.
