upper arm assembly rubber taken from self tapping screw  second arm cloned from first  elbow "hex's" added these get peirced with hot needle for actuator axle  rough lower arm (ppc) assembly  was given a bag of warhammer 40,000 bits these buildings look like they might scale in nicely once painted  the plates on the torso are xray film with the holes being made with a hot needle (not red hot or hole will be sloppy) this is just "build" detail that gets added to help keep everything in scale. when the "body" is complete then the whole model gets detailed again, then final paint, then weathering/damage |

nice work...as usual...question....the arm for example...did you carve the 6 sided piece from a chunk of wood? or is it 6 seperate thins pieces formed into that shape.....in other words is it hollow or solid?

It can go either way the forearms on my madcats are carved from whole blocks, but in the case of the panther it was evolution.
i started with a rectangular block of the approx length and height, then added two sections to either side cut from sheet balsa, i wasnt satisfied with the shape so two more slices were added top and bottom and sanded to fit, so its six pieces glued around the core block which runs up the inside

Super work Capt. Kirk, I just wanted to shot the Puma. It looked so real. I notice that great looking Daisy on the last picture. I almost jumped in, and was really for combat. You have talent Capt. Kirk. Which is the Best? I vote for the Daisy assault mech. ;D. Question how do you get those 50 foot mechs in your back yard?, and don't draw the army into your area.  Scare the hell out of your neighbors. Can I borrow one for a week end.  I have a >>>>>>> ..Well you know, Star Warrior |
