Just another Robot Apocolypse

[Dr. YoKai]

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

Alla God's Robots got guns...

I see like arms and eyes, is this a humanoid robot?

I see like arms and eyes, is this a humanoid robot?

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

[Tophe]

Interesting project!

Nicely done so far

[Dr. YoKai]

Thanks, colleagues. Here's the next one:



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.

[Tophe]

Uh? I thought I was crazy, all alone in the World, but you make me feel better, thanks!

[Dr. YoKai]

I do my humble best

Progress:


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

[Dr. YoKai]

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.

[Robomog]

Love the detail, looking forward to seeing
this one finished

Yo Doc... great stuff. This is coming along nicely

[Tophe]

Your workbench is incredible, so different from mine (focused on airplanes)...

[Dr. YoKai]

Thanks, Tophe - and Happy New Year everybody!

[Dr. YoKai]

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.

   OMG those are huge if that A7V is 1/35 scale   

[Dr. YoKai]

 That is the Emhar kit in 1/72*, so, not so big....


 *Being built as an Imperial Walker.

[Dr. YoKai]

I'm calling these two done enough.




A couple more pics in the finished thread.
