Sorry Bob no prize -- and if there had been one its just been won by Chris - well done that man.
It will be an old and damaged battle robot that has been derelict and left to rot for a long time, now people have come and are scavenging the copper/lead/metal/electronic parts from the hulk.  So rust, damage, overgrown vegetation, scaffolding and scavengers - what more could I wish for in a model - hohohoho

Box made and  a start on the background filling - next job is a coat of filler. 
Also looking at the photo must make arms and shoulder pads, damaged and parts missing.

This is going to be interesting.

NO Chris - just strange as most of my models are - hohoho
Coat of filler now added.

Is the hairspray to keep your locks in control?, probably borrowed Joyce's.
Oooops, I'm in trouble again.

Coat of chipping medium and then some sky blue.
Before you all say what a bad coat of paint, 90% will be removed and then rust added over the top of what is left, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 05, 2021, 04:41:54 PM
Can you decide if its the top or the bottom half that has been removed  ::) ::) ::)

Second engineer now in place - when dry and solid will remove some more blue paint before the RUST starts.
Decided to put him in place so I can get the rust  streaks running all down in the correct direction unlike the fridge I did on the zombie model. Now of to watch a film with "she who must be obeyed"
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 06, 2021, 09:48:33 AM
Some dark and light rust added. Now to start making 6,000 plants to go in and cover up lots of the machine.
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: zak on July 06, 2021, 10:21:34 AM
The weathering looks the part.
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 06, 2021, 11:11:26 AM
Thanks Zak but I think it needs more but going slowly slowly bit at a time - easier to add more, than take it away when I have gone a bit mad at it.
Am also looking at how to turn wooden skewers into bamboo scaffolding.
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 06, 2021, 12:00:32 PM
First 28 leaves made, now on to the bamboo
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 06, 2021, 05:01:21 PM
Bamboo made - from top to bottom -- plain skewer, skewer marked with pencil, skewer ground down to bamboo shape, painted yellow/brown, and finally with white bands between the sections.

Grand work Martin. I am impressed with the rusting and weathering. It really looks the part.
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 08, 2021, 09:06:17 PM
First leaves added to the model. 
Second photo shows the start made on the 2 climbing vines - glue has been added to the twisted wire, when dry will prime and paint and add the leaves.
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 09, 2021, 10:51:35 AM
Spring has sprung and the first vine has now got some leaves - next job a bit of filler on the main part of the trunk so it does not look like twisted wire.
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again

Weed - y - good.

Think I will call it a day and get back to some model making
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 09, 2021, 07:16:07 PM
Filler added to the vine trunks to take away the bent wire look - its just Plaster of Paris powder and some PVA glue before somebody asks
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 09, 2021, 08:24:43 PM
Some colour on the trunk and leaves - when dry will pick out some pattern on the leaves in a different green
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: cph64 on July 10, 2021, 07:03:37 PM
I like the tip about using filler powder and PVA glue. I'll have to remember it for my next diorama (whenever that will be!!!).
Title: Re: Secundo Ingeniarius lives again
Post by: MSea on July 12, 2021, 03:48:17 PM
2 climbing vines now added the tape will be removed when glue is dry and solid.

Bamboo scaffolding now in place and the walking planks fitted
Now to find some 1/72 scale figures that can start to scavenge the poor old desolate robot. At least in this scale Howard will not be able to complain that they have cross eyes or other badly painted features - hohohho

My eyebrows are almost non-existent, the right eye is bloodshot, and the left has a squint. (They don't actually but I thought it might be nice to be different.
