Kodiaks galore

So I sold my Kodiak scratchbuild to the amazing artist David White, illustrator and designer of the MW4 mechs (including the Kodi) but as it sat there about to be boxed up I realized I really really liked this build I did and wanted to keep it.
But since I couldnt (I took his money after all) I quickly scrounged enough rubber to pour all over it and now with my LIMITED casting skills Im making a few copies.
They've  needed  cleanup of course and Ive been doing what I can to fix the bubbles and voids. Ive also been doing partial assembly.

Ill maybe get 6 or 7 before these molds fall apart. If you dont mind cleaning up resin with all the air bubbles and such give me a shout and Ill sell you one of six

UPDATE: 7 are spoken for.  No more guys , sorry. The molds just wont take it and are done.
                 Next to be kitted, the Catapault.

A Locust build.

Just a quick post for a shot out to my bud Scott Christian and his build.
Its grainy sure, but you can see the way a Locust should look. Speed incarnate.

Looking good!

Legs

Just a quick look at where the legs stand (no pun intended) right now.

I shortened them slightly to change the center of gravity and because I hated how tall it was.

You can see the plating added and where I intend to add more as per Alex's art.

Marauder in progress

So I've had  this old kit since like 03 or so . A 1/72 Robotech/Macross Commanders battlepod, which as you all know was used in Battletech as the Marauder.
The original art by Loose altered it slightly

Not by much. The main difference is the nose area and of course all the extra panel lines that, to me, made the mech seem more human in a way. Less cartoony and Alien.

I picked up this kit because I was led to understand that when built it would stand in scale  with my Armourcast kits. Well I built it and was immediately disappointed.

It was just to Robotechy and not very Battletechy. This is not my kit but one I found on the net. It builds nice but it just isnt for me.
 Sorry, I have no pics for size comparison,. but believe me, to my eye it was WAY too big. Standing like 2 inches taller over my Madcat. Not right when both are supposed to be 75 tonners.

So it went back into the box and away until I could figure out what to do with it. I paid over $100 for it after all.


Until I saw this painting by Flyingdebris.

And that did it. The old Imai kit is being transformed with this pic as the main inspiration. My final build wont be a perfect match but Im using it for a guide and this is where Im at now.

Im on the way.

A sneak peak

Any idea what these may be for?

Locust update

Hello gentle beings, you'll all be happy to know that I have received the replacement legs for all kits and I will be shipping them out this weekend.
Thank you all for your patience and I hope Ill will see some finished and painted kits soon. (I think Ive only seen one Argus painted up and no Hollanders.)
