Industrial Mechanica OTIS.M Mecha 3D printed and then converted and pimped

[BKirwan]

 

 

This is the Otis M Mecha which I bought the stl files from Industria Mechanica and printed. There were over 80 files in the set and it took me about a week to print including short-shots and replacements. It was was first serious sojourn into 3D printing with my Longer Orange but I enjoyed t and it was relatively easy to do, 

 

Anyhows having printed (bagged and tagged here under) and cleaned alot of the parts I came to the conclusion that I didn't want a standard Mecha with feet and wheels. I also had serious issues getting the pelvis printed. In the end I just took the best of a bad lot and milliputtied the gaps. This and the gatling gun were the most troublesome parts to print. 

 

 

 

I decided to do a static mecha in a bunker-AAA  type setting. 

Above the packing materials form the 3D printer and an old lid of a pot. What you are looking at is the midsection of the mecha heavily modified to act as the body with retracted legs. All of the pimping and extra detailling has been coverd with a layer of MrSurfacer to even out some of the detail. I added alot and there is more to come in the form of piping and cabels.    

 

  The cockpit was pretty dull out of the printer with little detail so I went nuts inthere adding in stuff most of which will be hidden .......... 

 

 

 

The vision port on top of the roof is the intake form a 1:48 Hurricane and most of the detail is just Evergreen. 

 

I will add more during the weekend as I am further along than what I show above.

Gents here is a quick update; 

 I progressed to the gattling guns ; the support arms are  upside relative to the orginal so that they rise over the cockpit and into the air.  In the photo below you can see I hav started to pimp one gun but not the other just yet. I repalce the tubes with some tubing but still need to tidy up the fit . 

 

 

 

It will look something like this mounted onto a socket . And this is the collection of bits that will form the final product 

 

Thats all for now; I actually did a lot of work on the second gun on Sunday so I will post that up soon.

Really like this, makes me yearn for a 3d printer! All things mech really floats my boat 

Great job upgrading the gun, it looks way better, look forward to seeing more
