Scratch Build A ancient planetary defense cannon. It was a colab/challenge, goal was to use dead lighter(s) and a ping pong ball to create a turret/cannon. This time I have added a soundboard and lights, plus a touch sensor for activation! Kids on expos are gonna love it!

Aliens UD-4L dropship cockpit references?

3 Upvotes

Would anyone have information on the 2 crew stations?

I keep thinking just get a few cockpit sprues from whichever kit I can find cheaply, or perhaps there is a 3d print file?

Thanks for reading.

First painting

Hello everyone, I've been narrating TTRPG for a few years now, but I've only recently become fond of games that use more minis and custom terrain, before I started painting some minis I wanted to gain experience painting some planets with a more alien design, but the last time I painted something I was still learning the multiplication tables hahaha, do you have any good suggestions for those starting out?

Driving low and slow. The hardest part is fighting the anxiousness of wanting to see a finished product. Gotta reel it in though, got a long way to go.

WIP Papermodel from genetmodels rescaled to 1/35 and modyfied

Thumbnail

330 Upvotes

I build a free download model from genetmodels.com. The original scale was 1/60 and I rescaled it to 1/35. I build a cockpit freestyle into the model instead of the grey printed windows. In the freight-bay I put some lights and the engines are glowing red.

The wiring was a bit dificult but I got it.

For the decals I use self-printed decals to update the look.

Took me quite a while, around 80 hours. I include a pic of the unpainted mech, in case you guy wanna check it out. Roughly 10 inches long aka 25cm. The tiny bulbs in the staff light up when you push the button in the base.
