mslz22 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) I've been spread between doing the 1/24 build up (should have an update this week), casting the other pods and working on this a bit, so thought it might be nice to share a bit of progress. Right now i have almost all the major parts at least "roughed in" with some detailing started on some of the parts. I still have the usual stuff to refine, scratches, small changes, more detailing etc. as well as some scratch work to do on various smaller parts. Main body thruster is a casting. I am hoping to have this done for display at WF contest tables, but not sure if that will happen. More as it comes. Soda can and drill for scale, this thing is HUGE! thanks mike Edited April 8, 2012 by mslz22 Quote

MechTech Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Insert the can into the barrel and fire it out Looks like you've hit another home run - in a LARGE ball park might I add. - MT Quote

jenius Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I called my wife over and said "Honey, how cool is this guy? He can make the toys he always wanted." She laughed at me and patted me on the head... but I still think it's super cool. Quote

mslz22 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Hey guys, little delayed after being home with a sick kid for a few days but back at it today, got the rotocaster spinning for the main body engine and main arm cannon, nice and light castings. Body detailing is done, need to mold that soon, handful of other molds are already done. Couple more weeks to go with my other work load but getting there... Pardon the messy work bench, always gets the worst right before the end of a project. thanks mike Quote
Mommar Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Wow man, this thing is really amazing. You've somehow, in a very short amount of time, managed to top that 1/48 Battlepod. Quote
peter Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Man, I can't wait to see people's personal builds, and pics of these things next to their 1/48 collections! Quote
