Was hesitant to post pics of this scratchbuild on any board. Mainly because even after starting in March 2009, I am still far from completion. Apologize for poor picture quality. Used camera phone for the pics and had no flash. I'll take updated photos as progress is made with my regular camera. It gives an idea of where I'm trying to go with this vehicle.
It's one my largest ground based combat vehicles. Each step has been time stamped photographed down to each piece with dimensions. To date over 800 pics taken and still far from completion. Objective is to have the invader most lethal vehicle completed by May 2012. Weighs 35lbs without electronics and power supplies. I am considering casting and running limited production once completed.
Will have the most sfx of all my models. Standard lighting for each level, sound, removable engine/reactor core illumination, illuminated display screens, laser effects for dioramas, and smoke generator to simulate reactor venting or other effects. Multiple weapons that rotate and elevate. Cannons, rocket artillery, and hidden weapon systems. Opening doors, hatches, and access panels.
Will be adding more pics as project progresses. Interior, electronics, side panels and other hatches need to be installed. Then of course the paint job.
So may look, ehhh, right now but she's got a long way to go. Hope everyone likes the initial work. As always, suggestions and comments are appreciated.
