  1. Hello My new project, That's figure from Industria Mechanika in 1:6 scale. Enjoy. [/url]
  2. Hey I am pleased to show you some pictures of my latest project. The figure was completed a few days ago. This is a resin and produced by Indistria Mechanika.
  3. Ok I thought I had better build something for this GB seeing I and the host, so here it is........well almost, it’s in the post. I had had glorious plans for this build, like bringing out one of the resin 1/48th Ju-388’s I have, or a 1/48th Westland Welkin night-fighter, or even the 1/32nd RB-51 Reno Racer (I had started it but it is less than 25% built), or even some other exotic stuff (1/48th Savoia Marchetti SM.79). But I now have limited time for the big projects, so thought maybe one of the smaller resin models I have. But I find I’m at the moment stuck in a “fixing it” phase, where I see something not right or inaccurate and just have to fix it......which just takes time. I had a few other ideas...but evilBay had other ideas, so I had to go back to the drawing board many times. So I wanted something simple and fun, sort of something to get the mojo going again and I had seen this model a few times and it just sort of started to grow on me. So much so that it’s in the post along with a couple of other items to go with it. This is the full set edition, which is no longer available but is available as separate items. This pure and simple will be a fun build...though I may play around with a lighting kit for the headlights, will have a think about it. These dudes are in a never ending battle with the evil Vegetable empire....so if I can find a killer tomato or carrot, then a diorama may even happen! I’m not too sure if I will get to finish this one in time but I intend to have some fun with it. Will post some photos once it arrives.
  4. Hi folks, I'm not sure why I put off finishing this for a month, it didn't actually take all that long to do the final assembly, wiring and scenics. But it's done now! (click for bigger/more pictures on Flickr) The kit is from Industria Mechanika, and is a resin cast of a 3D-printed master of a model by a guy called Mike Jensen. My original plan was to do something a bit shinier and cleaner, but I found that the surface was basically too complex to polish, and opted for a weathered finish instead The inspiration was District 9, and more specifically Neill Blomkamp's earlier short Tetra Vaal, so I modelled the surroundings after Soweto. I remodelled the sniper rifle from the kit-supplied anti-materiel weapon to something a little bit more futuristic and police-like, and hollowed out the head and neck to light the eyes. The paint is decanted Tamiya and Alclad lacquer, and various acrylics over the top of that. Markings are a mixture of sprayed and various Gundam kit decals. On the scenic front, the concrete is florists' foam (never again!) the catfood tins were made from thick foil with laser-printed labels, and the bees are H0 scale from Busch - only 10x larger than they should be for 1:87! More details of the build here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939124-drone-sniper-resin-figure/ Thanks massively to the people who commented on the build thread, I got some key suggestions from there which really helped shape this project! and a few close-ups: Incidentally, I spent a lot of time looking at photographs of the poorer areas of Soweto, particularly Kliptown, to get the colours and plants looking right, and felt kind of crap afterwards, like I was taking advantage of other people. I opted to donate some money to Kliptown Youth Program, it's not much, but hopefully better than doing nothing. If you want to help out, see here: http://www.kliptownyouthprogram.org.za/ Cheers and thanks for looking! Will
  5. Hi folks, I figured I should stop ogling the Industria Mechanika kits and actually build some of them I've been cleaning up the Fichtenfish but I wanted to have a go at the sniper when it appeared since it's big and cool and an antidote to this fiddly 1/144 scale hovercraft I've been building. I'm a total resin novice, I've used a couple of resin aftermarket parts but that's it, so please point and laugh or suggest things to save me from my own stupidity according to taste I started by soaking the bits in warm soapy water, scrubbed them with an old toothbrush and rinsed them off. They smelled a bit like lacquer thinner in the box, now they don't, so hopefully I got the mould release off? First impressions are pretty good - with the pour plugs removed you can dry fit the legs, lower and upper body and he'll stand up on his own two feet without the base. Which means the pose really is as natural as it looks - nice Click for bigger I did some more clean up and put the major bits together with 5 minute epoxy, using the base as a work stand. He's pretty big - would make a good Eva There was one difficult mould line on the back of the left calf - the right one is fine, the left one had a step which goes right through the socket. I've made some progress on cleaning it but there's still more material to remove/fill. Those hamstrings are cool though. I also put the two main gun components together - had to adjust the slides on the sprung part of the stock, and I also broke the lower spring guard which is very delicate, but it was easy to repair. I'll leave the spring out for now since it can just pop in the guard later. The gun is a little bit soft in detail, so I scribed some of the concave angles to sharpen them up a bit, and I've tried to do all the clean-up with a file to get lots of hard edges. There's a mould line running through the ridges on the top of the body which will be a bugger to clean up properly, I suspect it's better to ignore that one, or remove them completely? I really like the sight, I haven't messed with that at all apart from paring down the hood over the optics to get a thinner edge. Oh - there's a long barrel and one of those boxy muzzle brakes, but there's no point fitting that now since I'd only break it I suspect I'll replace the resin barrel with metal tube anyway. As you can see the gun comes to hand nicely - no issues with fit, both hands grip where/what they should. I think the clip is really a bit close to the torso and hips though, it's not a big issue but since I'm wondering about making the gun a little bit more sci-fi (different muzzle + barrel - maybe suggesting it's somehow a coil gun?) I could remove the clip, or most of it, and have an energy hose from one of the sockets on the drone's back? So primer and more cleanup next. I also have some big unanswered questions, like how to paint it, and can I light it? For the light, the head is really small so the only options I can think of would be: a) Drill out the eyes and run optical fibre through to the channel on the back of the head, and have an SMD LED there, or curve the fibre around into the body or a backpack somehow? Like predator dreads I really don't want to be hollowing out the body though - too much chance to stuff it up and the surface is too smooth to spoil. I also can't see how to run the wires to the base without drilling out everything which would imply some kind of button cell in a backpack? Have an opaque visor over the eyes, with an LED glow behind it? Same issues with the wires, but it could work. On the paint front, I'm not sure whether to go metallic (like the Geth) or something more like District 9/Chris Cunningham/Cerberus armour from Mass Effect - lots of hard white plates with orange or red contrast and black/metallic detail underneath. I really like the idea of hard white, but looking at the figure in close-up there's a lot of what looks like moving "musculature" and maybe less plating than I thought. I'm also not sure how either of these would gel with weathering - I quite like the idea of a clean and shiny robo-soldier in a dusty derelict environment, but that would need a soft touch on the weathering and not give me anywhere to hide with the paint job... I suspect there's a lot of masking in my future Apologies for rambling, hope I can keep some momentum going on this one since it feels like I've been doing military stuff for ages now. Cheers, Will
