Those are awesome sir! Ever think of casting some in bronze? I work at a Bronze Art Foundry, contact me if youd like to check it out.

Thanx guys. LB, nope never even considered the possibility of bronze. Im still working on getting them all in resin.
As for making them, I used to draw out as much as I could and then started cutting and shaping plastic sheet. But ever since I discovered Blaar and his awesome paper model plans its made it so much easier to transfer the plans to plastic.
Ive started to work in resin now as well to make duplicate parts which speeds up the build process.
The big problem now is there are so many paper models available now for templates that I cant stop building so not much painting is getting done.
Check out the list of paper models plans here:

I highly recommend trying them.

What thickness of plasticard do you use? I've been thinking of getting into making some.

Nice pieces of work. Those would have been right at home in the photos from the old BattleTechnology magazine.

Zendric, I use mostly 2 thicknesses, .60, a heavier, thicker plastic sheet for structure, and .15 for details.
I use so much of it though that I go to a plastics supplier and buy 4x8 foot sheets. Usually about $35 a sheet, much cheaper than dishing out 5 bucks for a 8 by 11 inches sheet at a hobby store.

Don't I know you from some where agent_cooper
I said it once, I said it twice, and I am going to say it again.
AWESOME !!!!!!! I love all the work you are doing, and knowing how hard it can be building them with paper, what you are doing with plastic is just damn great.
