Scifi and Fantasy / Re: Ian McQue style diorama
« Last post by Kerick on Yesterday at 12:10:14 PM »Well its been quite a long time since I posted anything here! I got the urge to get out the junk parts boxes and try to build some bots/droids. Not something I've seen in a lot of Ian McQue's art but if he did this is what they might look like.
This is the first one with the main body made from some sort of breech block for perhaps a tank gun.
Here's the boys gathered around the table. I hope one of them is programmed to serve drinks!
The one on the right is a bit of a throw back to Lost In Space. The one on the left is made from a missile parts and OV-10 Bronco main gear I've been saving for decades. At least I finally found a use for them!
I felt he needed a tail wheel even after I shaved a flat spot on the wheels that actually balanced. Once I added the arms he fell forward so I added a lead weight to the back of the inside. Sits well now.
This guy might end up a busy looking windmill yet, I don't know.
Dueling droids?
Tool box
And I added some camera eyes. Some might say like WALL-E but, hey, why not? The eye holding bracket and the arms are from some 1/48th scale landing gear molded in black from I don't know what.
So this is what I've been fooling around with between planting a garden, watering plants, running to doctors and cleaning the air conditioning condenser from all the grass clippings from the last three years. And it's been fun, so that's good!

I can't paint indoors so during the winter months I put together as much as I can hoping that I can actually get to prime and paint them once the weather warms up.

I resemble that remark. I am Chinese-American. Not a big fan of Chinese equipment but those later style ZBL 8x8 vehicles are pretty cool but all the kits I have are being converted to what ifs.

« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on Yesterday at 07:46:26 AM »When the Revell kit first came out there was no conflict in the Ukraine and it was relatively peaceful. No idea why Revell changed the packaging details on the models with the Liebherr brand name.Revell Germany had some 1/32nd-1/35th scale construction equipment that was a snap-kit. I had a similar idea to add an excavator to the back of an MLRS to create a tracked excavator vehicle.Jeff: I like the look of that kit ... although the Liebherr brand name puts me off (Liebherr being one of those business-as-usual-in-Russia hold-outs). Maybe Revell is aware of this negative association? I've noticed this same kit advertised as a generic "Raupenbagger R 900 C".
Link: ScaleMates > Revell > Liebherr R-900C Litronic Excavator" Easy Kit" Snap Together Kit
As for the excavator kit there were two versions. One with wheels and one with tracks. The name branding is easily covered over or removed.

The falling bombs have a cut-and-paste/modify feel to them. So, Photoshop would be my guess ... but nicely executed.
