Thanks everybody for the kind support,
I would prefer to go back where I started from, the "Land" thread.

Thank you Brian,
here are the pictures of the finished pieces and sub assemblies.

Still missing the two main pieces, I mean the framework of the vehicle, by the way here we go:

A bird's eye view on many small pieces:


The framework holding the Instrument Panel and the Machine Gun
(pilot side)


(front side)


handlebars


"nose" assembly


Seat and lights the will be put on top of the green framework above pilot's head


Inside of the seat


Sides of the seat


Missile throwers


Wheels
(front)


(rear)


Axles and other details


Rostra for the front wheels


Engine




Thanks for watching!

By the way, here are the final shoots:

Walkaround:










Closer looks to details

Thanks again for your interest and patience in following this build!!!!

That's an amazing model, Antonio!

There's so many great details I could keep coming back again and again and probably always spot something new.

Absolutely delightful!

As Brian said....   and can study and restudy finding features.  Picked up on clever use of hose clamps.
Amazed you conceptualized "The Thing" coming about from all these parts. 8)

These struck me as partially filled in hose clamp material.  But may be parts resembling hose clamps.

OK now I understand, they are PE parts from an old fret...
But your idea is indeed a good one to have panels with louvres...

The Thing (How to paint the Genius?)
« Reply #99 on: February 25, 2019, 05:34:30 PM »
Hi guys, yesterday I had some time to work on the Genius Driver of the Thing.

Using sophisticated techniques of mechanical surgery I have installed some iron artificial legs and feet on the patient.

I also installed the first piece of upper limbs, then I stopped.

I decided to paint the figure and to glue it at its place before installing the forearms and the mechanical clamps he'll use as hands.
In this way it will be easier to connect the forearms to the handles on the handlebars.
At the end I'll put a helmet on his head and that will be the final act of this funny build.

This is the situation so far:



The small holes on the torso were there when I found this puppet in the parking near my car.

Now I ask you: how would you paint the skin of this non human driver?

I need to hear some ideas from you guys and then decide how to proceed...

Thanks for your collaboration in advance!!!!

Antonio
