Scratchbuilding Parts used for adding the underbody brake gearing, found in my spare part box.
the black parts are HO scale old Athearn spare parts.
The brown ones are Titchy S scale turnbuckles.
Here is the reactor docked with the socket. The socket presumably being embedded in Tony Stark's chest.
The polymer emulsion cures when exposed to UV light. Just a minute and a half in the good ol' South Texas Sun is more than sufficient. ;)
I've been planning this in my head for a month, so I based the construction on observations made in the "real world".
I finally sat down and cobbled this together with styrene materials that I had available and using prototype (14' x 48') dimensions as reference. It's not as spindly as the prototypes appear to be, but this first attempt is acceptable.
The next step is a shot of brown paint, some weathering and custom images....
A build of the Derek Stenning designed Industria Mechanika kit, "The Duchess". I've modified the kit quite a bit, and scratch built a lot new parts. Painted with a mixture of rattle can paints and acrylic model paint.
I need some decently sized Adeptus Mechanicus symbols for a terrain project I'm working on. The problem? No one makes the damn things any more. So, the only solution is to make my own.
I'm building the base model out of balsa wood and other stuff I have lying around the place, then I'll take a mould off it and make as many as I need! Theoretically :)
