I've been working on the 8 inch NOMAD kit from Larson designs.
A very nice kit.
I thought the bottom section was to tall, so I sanded it down a bit.
I got some paint on him today
Tamiya INJ grey and aluminum.
Way cool! Did you know parts of Nomad were used on the M-4 robot and also on the Romulan cloaking device from TOS?

Looks just as sinister now as it will in a couple hundred years!
midnightprowlerDid you know parts of Nomad were used on the M-5 robot and also on the Romulan cloaking device
Wait, wasn't M5 the big computer on Memory Alpha? And the first time I saw the Romulan Clocking Device, I thought it WAS Nomad.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Yah, they reused a lot on TOS. I think Norman's control console was also the Lord Garth's shield control panel.
Daystrom's M-5 was re purposed into Gary 7's computer.
I still have to figure out how to paint the recessed "voice" lights and paint NOMAD's head silver,
and add the top spike.
It's like "The Enemy Within", I never could figure out why the Cpt didn't send down a Shuttle. Then I found out it was the first season and Roddenberry either didn't think of one or it wasn't in the budget.
My bad, it was M-4. M-5 was Daystoms computer from The Ultimate Computer.
Looks like a nice kit. Hope you don't have any "Er-rors" while building. ;D
Does anyone know where I can get a kit of "The Monolith", from "2001- A Space Odyssey?"
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Watchmann Looks like a nice kit. Hope you don't have any "Er-rors" while building. ;D
Yeah, be careful it doesn't memory wipe you like Uhura!
Very cool model!

Cadet ChuckDoes anyone know where I can get a kit of "The Monolith", from "2001- A Space Odyssey?"
I dono, that might be a little out of my skill set.
I think it could be scratch built fairly easily.
Chasing the ultimate build.
Yeah Chuck, for the monolith I'd think you'd want a block of smooth plastic precisely what was it - 1 by 3 by 9 in dimensions? And then just paint it gloss black and shine to a super slick surface.
I have the Monolith action figure. Think geek was selling them a few years ago. 1:4:9 ratio.
It has zero points of articulation!
OMG your kidding? Someone really produced the Monolith???? What for?
Haa, and read what it says, "Action Figure". What does it do, hum?
It looks like a cell phone case.
I pose it with my Moonbus.
I'm lovin it

Kubrick actually had two cast in the two-ton version. The first was in clear acrylic and did not photograph well, so the black one was then cast.
Back on topic, I've done a little more work on NOMAD.
The voice lights were done with Tamiya clear red/yellow with a micro brush. Nomad is painted Chrome/grey/aluminum.
Lol love the Moonbus and Monolith!
And Nomad is looking pretty darn awesome too! He/it does have a very '60s high-tech look to him you've done a great job replicating.
Mach,
You've done a fantastic job on Nomad. It looks just like it did on the series. Now you just need to put into a transporter diorama. That would be cool.
I still have some work to do. For some reason I don't any clear green paint for the bottom voice holes.
Great Idea modelcrazy! I'll look into that.
I finally got my clear green paint. The lower green lights were always lit and had some flashing green lights in them.
I tried to replicate that by varying the amount of green I painted on to the holes. The photo does not capture it very well.
Bravo!
I want one.
Been awhile since I've seen that episode but looks spot on as far as I can remember!
