A pair of interesting war machines... |
 |
The one on the left is a MW:DA Behemoth with a new turret that I sculpted and added spare parts to, and a set of added track guards. The one on the right is a radically altered Necron Destroyer. |
 |
Star Wars Titanium Series toys converted for tabletop duty! |
 |
Here is an official 1/144 scale F-Toy AAT for comparison. While the T series lack the detail that the F-Toy model has, they are pretty much spot-on when it comes to size. |
 |
A converted Action Fleet MTT. Again, the scale is pretty spot-on! |
 |
I added a bit of battle damage. |
 |
I also had to fill in a gap on the top where I removed a lever. |
 |
I removed the droid rack to make it a more versatile heavy transport. |
 |
This is a Gundam tank. I am not familiar with the Gundam series so I can't tell you what it was, but I can tell you that it is definitely not in its original condition. |
 |
I sculpted a new turret and added some of Paulson's add-on cannons. |
 |
The railings on top of the turret are staples! |
 |
I added the trio of ball turrets to each side by Dremeling a hole, inserting a bead, and then installing the gun barrels. I tried to make the headlights look like they were lit up, too. |
 |
This was just an experiment with battle damage. I wanted a tank that was through Hell and made it back....barely. All of the damage was done with a router attachment on my trusty Dremel. |
 |
The damage doesn't look as bad from this side! |
 |
I also experimented with colors by trying to make glowing embers and leaking coolant. |
 |
A Gundam gun truck with added stowage and cargo bed rails. Once again, I used staples to make the cargo rails. |
 |
This is another heavily modified Front Mission mech. These trading figures have awesome detail and are fully articulate, but I have glued the legs into a static pose, but the arms still move and the torso is capable of turning. |
 |
What did I add here? I added the massive gatling cannon to the right arm and a secondary gun to the left arm. |
 |
The backpack is scratch-built from spare parts and a pair of .30cal Lego machine guns from Brickmania. |
 |
I also added a small tracking radar dome to the top of the hull. |
 |
Another heavily modified Front Mission trading figure. |
 |
I added the left shoulder cannon and the gatling gun. The ammo drum is a Lego piece with some other detailing parts. I was trying to create the effect of glowing hot barrels after a sustained barrage of lead. |
 |
I also added the missile pod. |
 |
A pair of MW:DA mods: the Madcat III on the left and the Blackhawk on the right. There are more pics of these towards the bottom of this page where I can better show and tell what I have done to them, although those of you familiar with the original minis will be able to pick out some new features. |
 |
Another Front Mission mecha. The turrets used to be Gundam shoulders. |
 |
I added the massive rail gun to the left arm and quad lasers tucked under each arm. |
 |
The mech came with a really boring mace so I sculpted an axe head for it. I also added a small gun to the forearm. |
 |
An interesting feature of the base- Those ferns used to be seashells. |
 |
This is another vehicle from the Gundam universe that I converted for my own use. The thing turned out to be a LOT bigger than I thought it would be....Heavy gunship it is! |
 |
The dorsal wings used to be tail wings, but I broke the attachments during assembly. The back was the only logical place for me to relocate them. I actually like them there! |
 |
You can just see the tail gun turret I added. |
 |
You can see my additions here. A pair of missile launchers and autocannons. The big guns were part of the original model. |
 |
The wings sweep! |
 |
Let's mix up universes, shall we? |
 |
I wanted a bit more bite for my Cylon Raider. This one got a tail gun turret. |
 |
It also got an extra set of laser cannons. |
 |
Just a simple A-Wing. |
 |
The pilot has affectionately named his bird the "Rebel Princess". |
 |
More mixings...An X-Wing and a mkIV Viper. |
 |
I was not happy with the stock laser cannons so I upgraded the gun barrels to make them look a bit more lethal. |
 |
More firepower stowed underneath! |
 |
More Star Wars.....Except I created a fleet buster TIE Bomber! |
 |
This B-Wing is my third one. I decided to leave this one stock and even kept the colors pretty close to original. |
 |
Here is the Madcat III again. Now you can see where I reposed the right leg, beefed up the gun barrels on the arm pods, and altered the missile launchers to something a bit more fitting for a smaller mech. |
 |
A better view of the Blackhawk. I sculpted new gun pods for the arms and swapped out the old hands for smaller ones. |
 |
I sculpted new improved feet. The old feet were just silly. |
 |
I also re-did the knees to make them look functional. |
PHEWWW! Well that was a long post! I do hope you enjoyed the show. I am sorry to have kept you waiting again.
