Whitworth on a Hexbase

And here, finally, a pic of the half painted Whitworth...


BTW, not crazy about the new blogger interface. Took a bit of poking around to figure out how to post again. Although the metrics are kinda neat...

Whitworth and Vulture

Here are a couple of pictures of the Whitworth and the Vulture parts that I've printed...

Here's what they look like on the build pad when they come fresh out of the printer:


Here are the Vulture parts that I printed last night:



And here it is assembled. Forgot to print the nose gun though. Bah!

Another Whitworth Snap

Almost there... I just have to do some work on the joints.


Hopefully I can keep my eye on the ball for a bit longer. I got my hands on a 1/100th scale Phalanx/Longbow and there's a Cygnus (Disney's Black Hole) on the way. distractions, distractions...

Just posted the first two Battletech auctions for this Christmas; a Flea and a Vulcan. In about a week I will be auctioning another Urbanmech and a Scorpion. Finally, the piece-de-la-resistance, sometime around the beginning of December, I will be auctioning a 1/100th scale Hatamoto Chi. To check out all of the auctions on ebay, click here.

2011 Christmas Auctions Starting This Weekend!!!

I've just posted the first of our 2001: Space Odyssey Christmas Ornament auctions over on e-bay. I've got the EVA POD, RUSSIAN POD and the MOONBUS up so far. Once I've done a little stress testing on the new spines, I'll be putting the new and improved DISCOVERY up for auction as well. As I said, these are just the initial listings. We should be auctioning somewhere between 4 and 6 of each of these between now and Dec 11.

I should have a couple of BATTLETECH auctions running as well by the end of Sunday.

2001 Space Ornaments Coming Soon

We got busy on the weekend and did the casting for about a half dozen EVA Pods and a few Discoveries. Assembling, sanding and priming is going on as I speak. Should have them up for auction on E-Bay in about another week or so.




The Discoveries now have steel reinforced spines. I'll do some stress testing vs the old design before I put them up for auction...
