Title: How to beat a Robot fighting machine
Post by: MSea on November 23, 2021, 10:13:51 AM
Another 3D printed model from Wayne - started at playday 5 and spent a lot of time smoothing some of the panels, the building has a coat of filler/glue and has been marked out as medieval stone walls, next job is to remove some between the stone blocks and then add colour. Then its back to do some more on the Russian cruiser Varyag, honest Haddock !!!!

No Kevin remember in the bad old days ( that's 2011 to you) I made a scratch built model of the same genre - not as good as the 3D pronted one from Wayne but I was happy at the time

Coat of hull red on the machine so it can be covered in a different colour and then chipped and some removed. At the moment not sure what colour will be used on the main panels.

Looking good Martin. I'm sure whatever colours you choose it'll be good.
Title: Re: How to beat a Robot fighting machine
Post by: MSea on December 02, 2021, 03:21:18 PM
Thanks Chris - base coat of pale grey on the stones, when dry will start to add shading and other colours to the base coat

After a coat of Pledge have started to put dots of colour on the stones and washed them in with a wet brush.
When they are all done and I am happy with them it will be a coat of base colour over the top to blend them together

All stones in the walls and the flagstones now coloured, when dry and solid, another coat of pledge and then a wash of smoke to blend all colours together.

Two sections of plaster of paris rocks hollowed out and fastened together with a bit of fishing lead shot in the middle.

Its for "low tech  v  high tech"  all will become clear soon, well to me at least

Well this is the rock that will hang from the beam and try to knock over the fighting machine. Decided that it was not big enough so have glued a couple of other sections of rock to it and added some filler to cover the joins.

Thanks all for the comments.
Rock now painted and hanging rope fastened to it, the thin red rope will be the one to be cut and release the rock to swing down and knock over the fighting machine.

Trial run with machine and rock in place.

So, is the robot stupid enough to have a rock dropped on its head?

Will this be a working model complete with sound effects or will we have to use our imagintion?

No movement Chris but at least some more rust

Are you calling it 'Rusty the Robot'?
Title: Re: How to beat a Robot fighting machine
Post by: Bigkev on December 29, 2021, 08:07:04 PM
Perhaps you should call it 'Sickly'
It's suffering badly from 'Rustitus'.

The figure to cut the rope is a conversion of one of the figures from the Zulu War  model.  He has had his rifle removed and some wine bottle top metal cut and fastened to form a hooded coat. When dry will add some filler to fill the gaps and then pockets and belt to the coat.
