Sentinel build (Sudsy builds another Patoroch design)

[Rhaven Blaack]

The wiring work looks GREAT and works perfectly!

 

[Chuffy70]

Nice use of the wire from the gardening section!

I like the wirering. Nice job.

 

[Sudsy]

Nice work! Are you planning on airbrushing it?

Not sure if I'll airbrush it or not, this time of year the garage is pretty cold... So I might use my paint brushes like my previous projects. Every time I build a paper vehicle, I do say to myself "This is it, this will be my first airbrush project..." and every time something happens that keeps it from happening!

That is why I switched almost exclusively to acrylics. I have my baby hobby compressor, and I airbrush at the kitchen sink, with the window open.

Progress on the legs this weekend! Beefing these chicken legs to be Turkey tough! Not sure they will have tight enough tolerances to pose and be free standing though... but I gave it a shot anyhow. Even if they must be glued in a static pose, it will appear more genuine than the first build!

 

[Sudsy]

Progress on the legs and feet. Every journey goes one step at a time!

Looking good Sudsy!

 

[Sudsy]

Primer has been applied!

It might have been done by now, but I got distracted by a shiny new 3D printer...

 

[Sudsy]

BTW, the grey lizard running around in the picture up there... Well, that was 3D printed with my new toy!

 

[Sudsy]

I have not forgotten about this project as a new 3D printer and lots of fun new miniatures have indeed distracted me. Here are some progress shots of the final paint and assembly that is nearing completion!

I like your collection.

 

[OldMiner]

Much fun! If you don‘t mind, what model did you use for this? I couldn’t find in the thread.

You might check here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10sYSYih7hroYTS9FpX-cx6t-sr4b_FKt/view?usp=share_link This model has been around a while, and the link in Armorman's thread has changed a few times since I found it years ago, and now it resides on my hard drive (well, a PDF of it I downloaded).

Still moving forward, even if at a snail's pace at times. Got to make a good base for this model! One of my PLA 60mm 3D printed bases with model railroad ballast, actual gravel, and kitty litter bits.



Behind would be my distraction... oodles of 3D printed miniatures to paint up...

 

[dr_tetrode]

Nice base, like the colors, is going to be black or the colored in the final?

The black is just the primer, it still requires more painting here shortly.

 

[mijob]

Awesome job I like the base.

That "TiteBondII" is some really strong stuff!!

That it is! It has become my go to for paper models ever since popping onto Zealot!
