Thank you, it made for great impedance to get them done. I do tend to have a lot of unfinished projects, but the deadline helped me get them done. There's still the filament one to finish, so I'll continue to add the progress of that one on here as well...

Cheers matey, I'll send them your love... I might even give them a rub for you!

A high accolade indeed, thank you so much

Tripod build final Close up of the slot around the head where the plastic strip was inserted Mr Silver was first to be finished - bloody camera miss-focused onto my neighbours flat! Closely followed by Mr Red Really happy with this picture, in natural light they almost look real...

A masterpiece, you do humble me so... A mere passionate modeller Yes, the caps do make for a good base, the wooden one was laser etched??? by the model maker, I've had to make another as you'll see. Tripod lolly now there's a treat

I remember the scene, but not the prop... interesting stuff

Part three of the Tripods build. Silver Tripod on the right was not being painted silver, but Rub n Buffed instead - had good results on Twiki, and as the Tripods were not a shiny silver I thought this would look just right. The other Tripod was to be red, so I have given the those parts a pink...

One for me, one for the resistance! There were a lot of flying spiders about that day, the parts came back indoors 'webbed' - I do have a airbrush, but its early days for me to get a good spray at low pressure indoors. Yes, they may look symmetrical, but not as you rightly say all have small...

I can almost taste the finish, slurp, slurp!

veery 'shiny'

Cheers bud, @zathros supplied the links - I hope you get to watch the series and maybe find a copy of the books to read

Unfortunately your videos are ironically copyrighted in my country where I have a tv license!!! Glad I have the dvds... I do have industrial sized elastic bands, but this was super glue and I only had to hold it for 30 seconds.

An excellent result how many multiples of the parts do you print to get your laminated appearance?
