Thanks for the likes and for looking in on the build project. Almost coming to the end of this build thread. I need to get back to that mech and a special build for a Stearman crop duster.

Thanks for looking in Zathros. This was done thought trial and error. Too wet and the rolled cable comes apart. Mixed with glue and you have to be careful rolling it. The glue wants to stick to your fingers and the cable either becomes fuzzy or comes apart. I sometimes just roll it my way...

Welcome back Jan. I keep looking at your schematics and I see another monster build. Thanks for keeping us appraised of your progress.

More on the Dreadnaught. I could have used electrical wire or thick strings for the hoses but the rolled paper strips came in just fine.

Thanks for looking in and for your comments. As for the silent running bots, the boxy shape is reminiscent of the bots. The pads are constructed a bit differently from the plans. The ball joint is better suited for posing the dreadnaught. Not only that, but is more sturdy for constant...

Thanks for all of the likes. I am pleased that you have looked in and enjoyed my build thread. And so the build thread continues. The foot pad template has added tabs which are to be folded underneath the pad template. A wrapped cylinder is made to fit the ball joint. This will allow for...

Thanks for your kind words. As usual, my build techniques are a bit different but the results is what matters. So here is the next set in the build technique. The ends of the Hydraulics are small cut pieces of paper rods from and ear swab.

Great work. Thanks for sharing. The only things needed are the spiky things and impaled heads and body parts that are the trade mark of Chaos, but I am sure you have some of that stuff in your bitz bin. So what is next?

Actually, my grand kids do not have that artistic urge like their grandpa. They are mostly in favor of anything that has to do with ball, baseball, football, basketball, soccer, etc etc. And now to place the new updates on screen for your pleasure. The rolled strip will go on a...

More updates on the Dreadnaught. As you can see by now, my verdsion is slightly different from Eli's. He gave me a great base to start with. That hip joint is the weakest part of the dreadnaught, so to make it strong, I heavily laminated the joint and added drilled holes to insert rods/pins. The...

Got family visiting so a bit slow in posting updates. Here is the next batch.

These are two mechas that I decided to make and to see if I could make them look something else that paper. The first one, is the Mad Dog or the Vulture. It is about 1/100 scale and in some of the photos, you can make out the figures to put it in perspective to the size of it. This one is to...

Here is the next batch of photos for your enjoyment. The connecting cylinder to the lower hip section was too long so I had to trim it down. If you do not want to roll another cylinder, do not use a knife to cut it off or you may crush the tube. I used my dremel with a cut off wheel for this.

On again with the buld project, it will have at least 71 photos, so you can see at this stage, that there are a a lot more photos coming this way. Here is the next batc on the build.

It has been a while but I am getting back into the groove again. Thanks for looking in and for your comment.

Thanks for looking in. If you build it my way, (heavily laminated) it will withstand the rigors of constant handling for a table top game.

Thanks for looking in Dave. Here is the next batch of photos on the Dreadnaught.

After a long sabbatical, I am back with another build thread. The comments are in the photos so enjoy the sequence trip. I did use a Games workshop model for reference and did make some adjustment to Eli's model. It is the approximate same size as the Games Workshop model, and it is sturdy...

Thanks for the link and for the other items on your site. Researching some items for my grandsons school project on Pompeii.

This one close and dear project on this site. There are many builders and please check out the UHU02 appreciation thread which may help you with some fit issues. It has been built here from a micro to a large scale. Enjoy and waiting to see more.
