OFF TOPIC, but still....

Mothra!  From Cardboard, papier mache, toilet paper, and masking tape!

In action!


And a battle ship, also from cardboard, cereal box, and masking tape!

Warning: Transformers Content!

The Siege line re-ignited my interest in collecting Transformers (as I think has happened with many folks), and my collection has become a favourite of my kids.  I decided to embark on a major project: construct sturdy, massive custom toys of the Ark and the Nemesis.  The Ark was finished at the beginning of the year, and I have now only just completed the Nemesis. 



Made from 1/8" thick styrene sheet with detailing using 020 thick sheet, this giant vehicle is about 32" long. 

Here's an image with Voyager Megs and Soundwave!



There are two large compartments for figures, and I plane to make modular computer terminals and a command chair for Megatron:
 


I'm particularly proud of the styrene faction symbol, hand painted with acrylics to look like the scene transition version of the logo from the G1 cartoon:

And here it is with my custom made Ark:



And here's a YouTube video with terrible production quality!

Sandcrawler



This one has been a project I’ve wanted to tackle for ages.  Once I saw episode 2 of The Mandalorian, it became a red hot necessity to make it.  I considered getting the Disney Exclusive Sandcrawler (since making one from scratch was probably going to equal out to the same price when factoring in styrene, materials, and time), but I wanted something that had SCALE...and making my own was too much of a good time to pass up.





Styrene and Testors Model Cement are the main ingredients.  I used small, very strong magnets to create embedded closures for the front entrance and side access panel, and attached recessed furniture casters to the bottom so it can roll.



The dimensions are 30” long by 16” tall and 11” wide.







It has two removable panels, a sliding door/hatch, an escape chute (where the main access is between the treads on the left hand side of the crawler), and of course the forward gate/draw bridge/main hold access.  The cockpit has a hinged canopy as well.





There is also an articulated claw that slides back and forth from the forward hold access.





This is probably my favourite thing that I’ve built of this sort.  It’s basically a giant box, but it’s the type of thing that Hasbro probably can’t build this day and age, and it came out a lot better abd sturdier than I expected.  And the kids love it (even my ten year old is kind of excited about it!).

Thanks for looking!

Oh wow!!! That Sandcrawler has drawn me out of lurking here.   Do you have plans you could share of the Sandcrawler?
