This idea started here: http://mwomercs.com/...an-concept-art/

so i asked Ironhawk to work out some orthographical views of the Urban-Mech.

so this happened:


very excellent drawings, thanks Ironhawk !

and i then started doing this:





and this is the current status of the master i´m building up



It is made out of styrene sheet in different thicknesses. from around 0.3 - 2.0 mm and some other sheet materials, like a thicker foam sheet of about 5-6 mm.
These are only some rough parts right now, detailing follows later on.
Scale is very close to 1/100, this will make the Mech about 80 mm in hight (picture above)
I felt this size would be very nice and easy to work with, and i´m pleased with it yet.


I will update this threat every time i gotta show something new about this project.
Also i plan to make some recasts of it in the future, as i´m a miniature painter on the other side, i can´t wait to paint it up

Looking forward to more details!

Looks awesome derhammer, keep it going !
And Ironhawk should be recruited by PGI, that Urbanmech is sexy.

Wow, that should be cool. Can't wait to see the finished product. Also you mentioned master. . . are you making resin models for reproduction?

yes i plan to, but not sure how they will come out, have to figure out casting some more for myself first

[Agent Cooper]

Very sweet! I'll be watching this closely.

[derhammer]

ok, made some progress on the lower legs.
i only made one of them as a master, cause they are nearly completely similar on both sides to each other.
Then made a mould for it, to make two copies of it.
The mould came out pretty well, and i will cast the first one today.

progress of the leg master


the plates on the backside, made of .5 styrene and carved some lines


making the mould box with supersculpey to get it nice and firm


the finished first side of the mould (sorry forgot to take some more pics in between the steps here)


next step will be to cast two of them and work out the details of each side of the legs

[Agent Cooper]

I think I need to buy one when you're done. It looks so cool!

[Ironhawk]

I am sure the result will be as great as the journey! Nice work so far, Derhammer. :-)

[Epitaph]

This looks great, keep up the good work!

[Dihm]

Can't wait for this to get finished up! Amazing, simply amazing.

He cannot sell them unless they make a legal agreement with Ironhawk.

But if he gifts you one... well, that is a whole new story.

[derhammer]

not much for today, but the first castings came out very nice.
Only one bubble at the top on the first one, but solved this problem by cutting some more air vents into the silicone.



maybe i´ll work some more details out of them today

@ Adridos:
thats right, Ironhawk and myself will discuss this, and when i get to finish this project we will see
