Title: Just another Robot Apocolypse
Post by: Dr. YoKai on November 28, 2017, 10:28:02 PM: The title is a catchall: I'll be doing as many robot killing machines as I can manage in the next few weeks. Here's a start, based on concepts of Kow Yokoyama.Specifically, the Neuspotter
a mess. Some self-assembly required.

The top from a bandai 1/48 Schwimmwagen, bisected and folded, starts the sensor head

Thimbles from an old magic set, fin from a 1/48th Apache, Evergreen and Aves.

Head progresses -more tiny bits to be added.

AIs tend to be hot-heads, so proper venting is essential.

Arms attached. Fenders from an old Fujimi 1/76 jadpanther and evergreen strut

More of a ghost-noid robot :D ( It has no legs, but floats along on its anti-gravity drive ) This is the
original inspiration.

Post by: Dr. YoKai on December 05, 2017, 08:21:33 AM: Thanks, colleagues. Here's the next one:

(https://scontent.fftw1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/24775194_10214317184953047_1398538647334604020_n.jpg?oh=e9a5d6bee195ddf09a2761db45a425d5&oe=5A88CC2F)

The piece with the prongs sticking off it will be attached to the underside of the main body. They will also be clad, serving as a
mounting pylon for a missile load out.

I'm calling it a McKie Drone. It will be colorful, with a huge missile on its hip.

Title: Re: Just another Robot Apocolypse
Post by: Dr. YoKai on December 31, 2017, 11:38:49 PM: Getting close, but the weather has been limiting time in the workshop. Managed to get some brush work done yesterday, so if the space heater makes things tolerable, I may have these done by deadline.

Post by: Dr. YoKai on January 18, 2018, 12:28:53 AM: Nearly there with the McKie drone and the Schmetteling. ( The former in the bright primary colors, the latter in the earth tones. )
Also, a Punkerpan. I am hoping the weather warms enough to make Friday and Saturday productive enough to finish.
