Plasmaman Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 While these aren't typical models, they may be unique because they were cut from 11 gauge steel. Each figure is approximately 19" (48cm) long. The machine used was a home-made CNC plasma cutting table using a Hypertherm 45XP plasma cutter with a machine torch. So far, I have painted six of the figures. A couple are shown below. The last picture shows my little cutting table. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Church Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The cutouts representing things like chrome tank trim are great--very nice use of negative space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshift Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Utterly superb! And that’s an impressively elemental way of modelling, fire flames and steel, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Surely the Brough has to be in Lawrence of Arabia/Aircraftsman Shaw chrome and black with a neat little brown saddlebag? Plenty of pictures online, but all copyrighted, so I'm afraid you'll have to Google them yourself! best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
