I probably would have never got started otherwise.

I might go for a warfare type of mecha,maybe something like the mecha from the game ring of red

Possibly more of a modern feel.
Might even end up looking totally different. ;D
I will make a start tomorrow.

Re: A scratch built mecha

Thanks guys, i hope it looks good when it's done.


Ok,i used an old resin tank a friend gave me a little while ago and cut it up to make the main body,i'll sand down the scratches on the side a little later, tomorrow i'll add some greebles and possibly build the legs.........maybe, if i dont have to go anywhere.

[java]

Re: A scratch built mecha

Cheers fellas.

Yeah, as i dreaded yesterday, had a couple of chores today so only had time to do a little work on it.

Added greeblies,built the head and some type of engine also added a sensor turret in the lower body area.
I'm trying to go with a futureristic/WW2 look.

This one's gonna need a load of putty work later on,sigh.

[java]

Re: A kitbash mecha

Quaralane:Thank you,Yeah i do finish builds quickly,i think Beork explained it perfectly on the ma.k forum how i manage to do it:

finishing at least a build per day, somehow bending Space Time to finish it yesterday.

Jingles:Thank you,yep I agree, it is more like a kitbash so a name change is in order

Grendels:Thanks mate.

I will do some painting tomorrow (Day off ) and possibly make a base for it.

Thanks.

 

[Quaralane]

Awesome.
Looks like a kit now that it's all pained up. Excellent work

 

[Grendels]

Very well done!!

 

[Dave The Chef]

Well done mate, that is awesome 8)

 

[java]

Thank you all very much,your feedback is always appreciated and it was a great bit of fun too.

Now i can sit back,relax and watch as you all breathe life into builds.
Well at least until i start building something else.
Model on! mates.

 

[MrNatural]

outstanding! ;D

 

[java]

Hey! thank you MrNatural.

 

[Junkie]

Looks awesome Java - sorry I missed this one.

I LOVE that you added a figure to this build. I tend to lose a sense of scale with these builds and that human on this back is excellent.

 

[Noddy4000]

Ah, good stuff and done at your usual, manic fast pace too. You are the fastest modeler I can think off, posting on any of the forums I look at, by a long shot. And it's all such cool stuff too.

 

[DXM]

Absolutely Great... 8)

 

[java]

I thought this one was long forgotten.

No need to say sorry,thank you Scott.


Thanks mate, Hey! Noddy are you calling me a crazy,hyped up,model building freak?...........mmmm i think your your on to something there
Don't forget Mario and Leopard they are pretty fast too.


Thank you DXM.
