Awesome works everyone!
John, congrats on the finish! Although I'd second Ian with the doubts You're not taking these photos in your garage from the 1:1 scale bike, man ;D
Here is my recent progress with the Gustav suits:
The suits themselves have received the paint and are now waiting for further weathering and stuff with a layer of future over them. A have also some plans for trying some painted scratches here and there, since these two guys are a bit too small for applying silver-primer technique I usually use. Will see how that will turn out.
Second, I've scratchbuilt the tools the fallen-in-love guy left go from his hands to fly around in zero-g.
The lady is also fully painted, only a layer of flat finish is left to be applied.
The most of the work was devoted to creating the dio surroundings to put the figures into, which are now finished and ready for paint.
I'm planning to put them on this base I've cut from a piece of wood to be displayed under some angle, which will even more increase the sense of a zero-g environment.
Here how they look altogether.
And the actors put into the scene:
Finally, as a special addition to the base created: there are some red LED's installed under the floor of the maintained section as some emergency lights and a PIC-controlled LEDs to simulate the effect of one of the astronaut's welding (see it working on the vid)
Welding effect test
Not sure if I manage to finish it in the initially planned time, but hope to complete it at least to the star of this year's BSC
Till later, guys
