Tank 22

Cole

It’s been a while, too much going on IRL that online presentation comes short.

Nevertheless the ongoing FebRovery fad drew me in,

so, without much explanation here’s a rover heavily inspired by the work of Rasmus Poulsen.

  • fully articulation: steering double axes, centered 360° articulation point
  • horizontal 360° tower
  • lots of cabling
  • mounted retro chrome gold device for some kind of magic ignition (no, it’s not a weapon!)

This might probably the last post here until I finally manage to update to the new homepage.

JH AGF-7000 (2022 tan version)

Cole

Long time I was seeking the large quarter circle piece in tan. Still a few parts are not available in tan, most was fine to replace with a similar part, except one (2 same pieces) prominent part. Can you spot it?

Here’s the more authentic version of my interpretation of the famous

Alakuneda Think Tank as seen in the Ghost in the Shell anime. (Not the crap Unholywood remake)

Here you can find the building instructions for the light grey version (click me)

Riding a Helicopter

Who doesn’t like flying bikes?

Back in 2010 I was heavily impressed by the Igarashi Design Heli – that much that I had to build a version out of bricks.

That model seemed to be the most viewed of all my concept models up to date.

Now, 11 years later, with new parts available, I made a new version. Originally I just wanted to rework the first version, but the structural integrity was far from stable, therefore it resulted in a completely new build.

Et voilà:

March of robots

Marchi’koma is a great possibility to flex one’s building muscles with GitS inspired robots. Since this is right up my alley, I churned out a few models.

A small robot with character with minimum parts in company of a anime-styled minifigure is ‘Tiny T’.

Two robots drawing inspiration from a spider and a crab, ‘Pain + Killer’, feature a heavy utilitarian and military look. Initially they were designed for a commission, but turned out a tad too large.

The largest in this run is the ‘Old V.I.C.’, a mixture of victorian steampunk, robot tech and microscale with a dash of Howl’s moving castle. The frame is based upon the same one as the D.A.Z. FS359i. This fella will probably be part of a larger diorama I am working on for ages.
