WWII future sci-tech Hover platforms

Future WW2 Sci-Tech:

Hover platforms to go with the radio car. These were an inspiartion after watching Johnny Quest.

The parts are from tamiya flak guns and their trailers, 88mm flak, of course, plastruct abs elliptica dishes and odds and ends.

WWII future sci tech radio car

    The Future WW2 Sci-Tech continues with this SDKFZ 232 upgraded to plasma reactor. Its a hover radio car, Tamiya 8 rad is the main kit with parts from the 88mm flak ( a great kit for bashing) I usually have several on hand. I scavanged a resin engine from a 48th harrier to act as the plasma reactor. The interior details are what I imagine it would look like. Parts from RPM WW1 mustard gas tank and rpm German ambulance tank. 

 

Verlinden radio gear and some old resin cast bandai tank parts.

Studio Scale BSG Laser turret

    Studio scale BSG laser turret: This project has been in the works for 2 years. ID'ing the kits used was a real challenge. I designed the base parts in fusion 360. Then had them printed, MJF (multi jet fusion) I would not use that material again, it is not suited for flat surfaces. Too many tiny pits, it really needed a lot a TLC (filler). The barrels are telescoped brass tubing, kits are Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujimi and a few others. 

The photo above is a screenshot from Battlestar Galactica. Eventually I will build the vingette background as well.

There still are a few kits left to ID, but time will solve these mysteries.

I finished the laser turret build portion,

For now it will be displayed on the stand, this winter I will build the vingette.

The replica is fini

Si-Fi wall.

    Sci-Fi large scale ship panel. I had several large peices of ABS plastic laying around, so I decided to bash a background panel. It was bashed from what I call BTB, back to box parts. I pick parts for a kit bash and when I don't use them I put them in a ziplok bag meaning to get them back to their original box, but never really get their. 

 

Ma.K PKA build

Ma.K PKA Heinrich: My first armored figure kit from the genre.

More work done on the Heinrich. I decided to convert it to an airborn scout. Rocket nozzels and fuel tanks are being fitted. I also started detailing the interior.

I Finished assmbly of of the PKA and it is awaiting paint, I want to experiment with several layers of spots via short bursts from the airbrush. Using burnt orange, yellow ochre and eggshell white.

I didn't care for the WW2 esque uniform, I ground it all off with my dremel, and used epoxy putty to sculpt a jumpsuit.

I found some time to prime with dark grey hot rod primer. I also added orange trim to the cockpit glass

Painting is underway, I am using layered glazes for depth and texture.

 

Alien: USCSS Caerus ship

    Wayland Yutani corp USCSS Caerus, Aliens genre kitbash. This is a scout vessel, basic shape is styrene sheet over a frame which was design in fusion 360 and printed. Bashed from various kits. It definately has a nostromo feel to it. Multiple kits from RPM were used as well as lots of evergreen styrene. The flaps and engine inserts are also 3d printed, the main engines are from the 22" mpc space 1999 eagle. I have a tone of these.
