                        ok now be kind. this is the first real scratchbuilt piece i have done. i took plastic signs and began carving about a month ago. this post is the result. so here goes.


                        this is what i started with.



                        this was the supplys i needed.



                        and this is the result.





                        i took some liberties with the weathering but i am pleased with the results. you will notice no armament. that is by my design.

                        this is to be the first. the second will be sometime this spring

                        Quite a project to take on from scratch. Impressive is all I can say, like you can almost feel the ground tremors as it lumbers toward you.

                        thanks all. actually the armament stayed off because i didnt have anything at the moment to do it. that will change for the next sci fi build. and that is coming. the sign was cut with an exacto. the blade was horribly dull though.


                        thanks again for the kind words.

                        Hey Joe. That is really great. It makes me want to start building on my fantasy model now. Sci-fi can be fun since it does'nt have to be "accurate". It only has to be logical.
