Been looking at those epic Maschienen Krieger Minis.

Evil Robot Head.

Little bit more progress on my evil robot model kit tonight, plus a photo. Sanded down the putty from yesterday, and glued on six little parts. Looks like the next section begins the assembly of the shoulders.

Having built his career by hand-decorating Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000 (aka Ma.K) designs, it might be surprising to learn that these model kits aren’t what Kevin “Klav” Derken are referencing when he states that “I can honestly say nothing takes my paint style better”. Known for infusing his works with a skeletal and biomechanical appearance, an aesthetic that’s become synonymous with his Creeping Death Robot Club branding, Derken now believes […]

A work in progress I though I’d post to fill the gap in my postings. I’ve finally gotten most of the stuff down for perspective and placement, now I’m mainly aligning nuts and bolts before moving on with rendering fully.

Software: Photoshop

Still waiting on all decals to arrive for the Platinum Doll Trophy statue so painting is currently halted.

Evil robot arms

Did a bit of work today on my long-neglected robot model kit. Finished one upper arm section, and so could assemble the arms for a quick pic like so. Started work on the head and have that about half-done. Trying to decide on parts options for the back of the head, and also waiting for putty to cure.

Preview / notice of upcoming Maschinen Krieger / MaK / SF3D / ZbV 3000 / you-know-what-I-mean kits, including the SAFS, AFS mk. I, PKA H0, AFS mk. II, and Fireball. Note the inset diorama / scene, and the MSRPs.

Did a little work on my evil robot model kit today.

Boring photos below:

Decided to try to replace this antenna (below) with a scratchbuilt one made from aluminum wire and styrene tube.

Took a pic for reference, before I cut off the antenna.

Had some thin aluminum wire handy, and twisted one piece around another for the base (very fiddly to get right). (In retrospect, I probably could have done this all with a single piece of wire. Might have been more durable). Drilled a hole with the point of my X-Acto, and threaded it through into the part (also fiddly):

Wrapped the excess around the peg in the part for enhanced security:

Secured the wire with generous amounts of super glue. Cut a good length of styrene tube, and threaded that on the other end. Secured with more super glue. New and improved part:

Hopefully not going to get broken while assembling, painting, etc.

Also assembled the hand:

Somewhat fiddly, and very delicate. I hope this thing survives assembly and finishing, too.

Made a little bit of progress on my Grosser Hund kit yesterday and today.

Assembled and sanded the top torso piece. Eight parts and lots of puttying and sanding the seam down the middle. The whole thing is now 15 cm / 6 inches tall, and will get a bit taller with the neck, shoulders and head on it. So far, I have completed 16 of 42 (?) steps on the instruction sheet. Trying to do it well takes a lot longer than I would guess.
