GENET Tabletop gaming model collection

It is now time for the greebled version. Since the "AS-IS" version showed the details of the actual build, this will show more of the greebling.

I created supports to hold the axles in place. The supports are attached to the interior of the body skin.
The axles are "Q-Tip" shafts.


The body is assembled.




I started applying the greebling.










I raised the chassis frame on the bottom of the buggy.

Working on the undercarriage and fenders.

The axle shrouds are assembled. I recessed the center rectangle and raised the circles on the sides.


The axle shrouds are attached in place.


The fenders are assembles. I raised the texture on the topside of the fenders.


The fenders are attached.

Moving on to the wheels.

Here are the parts for the wheels.
*NOTE* The white ring is the inside of the tyre.


The tyre and wheel hub are assembled.


The wheel hub is set in the tyre.


This is the back side of the wheel. I recess a hole for the axle to be attached.


All four wheels are assembled.


The wheels are attached in place.


Here is a video showing the wheels move.

Here is a comparison between the two Buggies. The one on the left is the "AS-IS" version. The one on the right is the "GREEBLED" version.


Here are "close-up" shots of the buggy.

The difference of rounding the wheels instead of leaving them with the flats is astounding. He should go back into those models and fix every wheel. I have seen a few I though might be fun to build, but the wheels turned me off, as I didn't know what else I would find. You're giving him a lot of publicity in this build thread, so in case the designer ever reads it, I make this post. , as otherwise, it's a really neat model, and If I was a "little one" and someone gave me a couple of these with rolling wheels, I'd treasure them, I'd play so hard with them, I'd roll the wheels right off!

I wholeheartedly agree with you. The round wheels do look better. Then again, the greebling brings the whole model to life.
Even though these model templates were specifically intended for tabletop gaming, they are indeed fun build and are easy to greeble out, as well as teach someone how to build (nice looking) paper/cardstock models (that really do not take up much shelf real-estate).
