Cappuccino One - Completed
« on: December 11, 2018, 05:59:39 AM »
Hi All

Back in the saddle and doing something i get great enjoyment from.

I was in McRons having a veggie burger and with my mum and Mrs Lady Mog when both of them caught me fiddling with the plastic top of my McCoffee.

"I recon i could make something out of this" i said

Mrs Mog gave me her 'he's off again' look then to my surprise she called my bluff,

"go on then" she said " go for it and make something"

So Here i am.

It took a while for something to formulate but the brain cells finally collided and i now have a design in my head.

Here is the collection of starting parts, i may not use them all.......

by Robomog, on Flickr


You can probably guess what its going to be,  but i will tell you, its going to be a 50's style flying saucer to transport the little green monster in the middle of the photo above.

I've named him Monty. He was my lucky charm given to me by my late father in law and was with me through a number of cars until i got T-boned three years ago.  I found him in the odd bits box when putting this project together and was a perfect pilot for the design.

The first problem i noticed was the letters engraved in the caps so i had to cut the center's out and lose all the circular details. On the plus side i discovered that the clear lid Fromm the top of a '99' Cornetto fitted almost perfectly in the opening and made a perfect canopy.

Below first parts coming together, three of the cd protectors have been stuck together and the edge sanded to a profile. The bottom body has a piece of plastic stuck on and trimmed to cover the embossed letters. The top body has had the center removed and a trial fit of the canopy.........

by Robomog, on Flickr

Made a trial fit of the parts and found Monty sat a bit low so i created a platform on the bottom body ........

by Robomog, on Flickr

It is fixed with gel superglue and i found a novel way of keeping the pressure on the parts until it set.....

by Robomog, on Flickr

Also started on the undercarriage and controls.........

More as it happens...................


Thanks for looking

I love GBs like this because I can never figure out where things are going almost until the Big Reveal.

You really found a nice collection of objects and I'm going to enjoy watching your progress.

I can only applaud your discipline at not draining the ale before the parts set.

Me, I have no such level of self-control.

If you'd kept the outer 6 x press-button-thingies, you could have had an "alien" control panel. ;)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Brian - The Beer was not there long, gel super glue is quite quick to dry.

Old Wombat - may use the press button thingies to decorate the outside.

i'm currently in a quandary as to weather to trick it out with engines and a nose  or keep it simple in true 50's style, currently leaning towards the latter at the moment.

Yup, envisage some chrome parts, hoping to recreate those eyebrow style lights in a pod either right at the front on the disk or either side of the upper body, rear lights also, possibly around the canopy and the undercarriage legs, may be more, depending on how the build morphs.

 It's already changed considerably since my first plans  and I've only just started the initial construction.  ;D

Hi all

Got a bit more modelling time and made some more progress.

As I said previously the engraved text became a bit of a problem which is very evident in the photo below ..........

by Robomog, on Flickr

There is also a ridge around the edge of canopy which needs to be covered so to kill two birds with one stone it's out with the circle cutter (an absolute life saver on this type of project!) To manufacture a cover plate to hide these problems.

Trial fit looks good ........

by Robomog, on Flickr

Also started on the internal detail, constructing the sides of the cockpit.....

Hi all,   more progress at Mog Towers,

The control panel is complete and will be detailed after painting.........

by Robomog, on Flickr


The base casing has had some futuristic bumps added using ex pill packets, also  the engine array has been assembled and shown placed in position in this photo it will be properly stuck down when the casing has been sprayed ...............

  by Robomog, on Flickr

by Robomog, on Flickr


Monty has had his steering handles attached and some stretched sprue pegs inserted  in his feet to attach him in the cockpit. I'm waiting for the glue to dry here before trimming the sprue

by Robomog, on Flickr

Incidentally Monty is two inches high, so if he is six foot high in "real life" that means the model roughly equates to 1/35 scale quite a departure for me from gods own 1/72 scale.

Work has started on the headlights, I'm using the ends of some pens and inserting the ends of the ink barrel here to give a fifties feel, I'm still trying to work out a way of making the eyebrow detail..........

More when it happens .........

Now, judging Monty to be roughly 55mm tall, I've calculated that in 1/72 scale he is approximately 396cm/12' 101/2" tall.

Let's just make it 4m/13', much more fun that way. ;)

Hi Old Wombat, in 1/72 scale Monty and his space ship will be huge,  I will do some comparison shots with Arthur Brain in my next post.

Incidentally I've just noticed that Monty is in a slight crouching position, so my scaling is a tad compromised ...... ???  ::)

Hi all, more progress

Cappuccino One is now in the spray shop.

by Robomog, on Flickr

And the alien controls are nearly finished ........

by Robomog, on Flickr

Note to Old Wombat one of the button thingies did become  an alien control.

And another pic for Old Wombat, This is Monty and the base of the space ship set against Arthur Brain, Arthur is six foot high in 1/72 scale which makes Monty massive in that scale ! .......

by Robomog, on Flickr

Getting close to final assembly now.

more when it happens..........

Why should an alien be 6' tall? Why can't he/she/it be 18' tall? ???

Hi Guys

During the build some of you reckoned Monty would look better at smaller scales so as promised

"Scale to Taste"


This is Monty at my intended scale  approx. 1/32 - 1/35 with soldier for reference,  apologies didn't get him painted...…….

by Robomog, on Flickr


Now at 1/72 - 1/76 Scale he towers over Arthur and his Land Rover...………..

by Robomog, on Flickr


And for the people who want there monsters absolutely MAHOOSIVE!   Monty at 1/144 - 1/150 Scale against an N scale Land Rover.


by Robomog, on Flickr

Apologies for no figures in this shot, i've put my packet of N scale figures somewhere safe...……  so safe I don't know where I put them.

-Sigh-  another brain cell dies...………….

Thanks guys, sadly no film offers yet, Mr Spielberg has not beaten a path to my door with a fist full of wonga.

But I'm happy to remain a humble modeller, when your passion becomes your job it's no longer fun.

Thanks for looking

It can be, if you look upon the design parameters of the director & the deadlines as challenges, rather than as inconveniences. I admit I probably couldn't but it'd be fun to have a go & see how I went. ;)

Hi Antonio

Not so much forgotten more I haven't got any 1/48th scale figures  ;D

Chop the head off the 1/35 scale figure and you will be sorta  close  :icon_vader:
