Thanks all! Sentinel 2 now is showing off just how armored she is! Here is tonight's progress: Mostly just armor plates, some rivets using the Luer lock and PVA glue. Toothpick bits for hinges. I must say this enclosed armored Sentinel is flying along compared to that first one! Not...

Here is the latest update on the Armored Sentinel build. These paper models are all the more special given the new models released in plastic by GW in their new Cadian boxes. This particular, obviously Star Wars AT-ST inspired, design is now out of production along with the older Cadian troops...

Or the Battletech can come to you!

Next off the bench, the 15mm Urbanmech. Used some floral wire on thos antennae though, as the 3D printing process leaves much to desired on those thin features.

Quick update on my, as yet, unfinished 15mm 3D printed Mechs... Namely, the Hatchetman...errr.... Tinman! My aftermarket Stratos Minis STL scaled up from 6mm to 15mm scale has finally been painted! Well, mostly. I might refine this a bit. Or not. I'll sleep on it. I might, or...

New phone camera, new Sentinel build! Making an enclosed armored Sentinel with a Las cannon this time to be the killer of a tank hunter killer team (with the open stopped being the hunter half of the team). Go figure, I make the model more complicated... I am going to try some paper...

It's a better time than when I started to get involved. 3D printers have dramatically dropped in price, given a second chance, I'd have saved what I spent on my Taz 5 and bought one of the sub $500 resin SLA printers available now instead! Don't get me wrong, the Taz 5 was (IS) a good...

Scaled up the Wolfhound by 250% and got a nice 15mm scale version. Did the same thing with a hex base I found on Thingiverse that was made for the 6mm scale. Turned out pretty epic!

Well, I'm sure we all know those plastic card modelers, and others, who get a little to.... well... elite for the rest of us?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.... ...great meme, and I figured Zealot folks will love it! Okay, back to normal stuff!

Almost done... With BMP 'counts as Chimera' #4, the command vehicle! Special decals. Very special, given the origin of the design... So, with a coat of Krylon Crystal Clear (gloss), waterslide decals do work on paper models... Coated with some Rustoleum Matte finish a few hours later...

Talk about another hobby that would consume every paycheck and spare moment!

Today's progress! Paint!

I couldn't resist my five year old's request to build him a paper robot action figure. So I dug around the web and found 1999robots. The files and blog are still there on Wayback Machine. A good Saturday morning build!

Divine bovine (or holy cow)! I am nearly done! on to the skirt armor I have planned to magnetize...

Still working on this! Treads are complete, the turret is started!

You have a new Subscriber! After I wrenched my jaw off my desk and wasn't as stunned by the sheer awesomeness.

Trial and error, mostly error... I find myself attempting to do this, only miss something that I come back to later with a magnifier and tweezers!

I just downloaded XtrkCAD and started using it. Partly because Kato ceased producing a good old fashioned drawing template! I have a 4' x 8' surface my wife wants to build a layout on, N-scale Kato Uni-Track. As an AutoCAD power user, this program drives me nuts. I'm sure once I figure out...

So, that old hard drive... New target for the range? Shiny over weight frisbee? Or just something to set on a rock so you can hit with a sledge hammer? Such is the fate of electronics that fail! Choices...
