fester's Project Log: Reminder and some updates.

Posted by fester

Just a quick few things....

1. Don't forget to Vote. Go left, clickity clickty, etc.

Also vote on that other guys poll thing too! (stealing my thunder!)

2. I was kind of disappointed when nobody complained that I had pulled the Hellblade off my project list... so I made myself feel better, and built one.

This is 4 night's work. This also lets me prove to you that I am not all talk and no shovel. (forgive me this Aussie politics joke).

Anyway, proof wasn't asked for, but proof you will get!

The bottom has steel sheeting in little shapes as I magnetized a Valk stand, you can see these here.

I know I haven't super-detailed this, and that it is nowhere near as nice as a legitimate one, BUT, this was about 10 hours work and cost about $6AUD.

I like. For a model built practically entirely out of plastic card and for so little cost and not too many man-hours of work, it's pretty good! :)

Is it foamboard/core for structure and plasticard for details you have used? It's well done, and I for one have never understood some peoples need to find all the "official" details in someone's scratch-built work. I mean, "You made that? God damn that's sweet!" is a proper reaction. "The real one looks better" is not.

However, I agree with Sorrowshard that the guns detract from the rest of the model. Mostly because they seem to be crooked.

I think the guns extend out too far. Cut back some of the smaller tube would make it look a bit better, I think. Currently, they look more like eye stalks or something.
