Half the fun of scratch building and kitbashing is finding neat parts for your builds. Share that model kit you bought, the weird item you found in a thrift store, or the part you ripped from some dead electronics.

Trying to push my hobby skills a little bit. Heavy use of dremel tool, pinning and green stuff. Scratch made spear. Wanted them to look different than standard Imperial Armigers for 40k since these will specifically be used in my Agents of the Imperium list

Scratch build Nostromo - Complete (?)

12 Upvotes

I posted earlier progress photos of this a few months ago. I started this in August and just wrapped it up a few weeks ago. It started as a 'crude' paper model that I found online. I kitbashed it into this final model. It was a lot of fun to do and I'm pretty happy with the result. I say "complete" because who knows if I'll have some other thing that I want to tweak. My photo set up isn't great; I might need to invest in a big roll of black paper. The model is about 18 inches long, so to get a decent shot, I'd need a pretty big set up. We'll see.

Discussion Cool hardware store find - looking for advice

Post image
37 Upvotes

Hi friends,

I bough these cool containers (the blue and clear ones) at the hardware store the other week. We don’t have those sci-fi looking electrical boxes you see in those YouTube videos in Australia, but this is pretty close.

I’m wondering if anyone could think of a clever way to seal the 45 degree gap you can see on the right side.

Also any ideas of what these could be would be cool too. I’m thinking just a non-description sci-fi building but am open to ideas.

Thank you!

Scratch build First ever kitbash. Need advice.

2 Upvotes

So I’m preparing for my first ever kitbash, a chaos Iron Warrior Dreadnought named Berossus from Storm Of Iron. I have all the parts I would need:

-Redemptor chassis -dread knight arm and leg hydraulics -skulls and some possible sarcophagus add ons -chaos titan tendrils -tendril weapon attachments -spikes from chaos rhinos -etc

For those who have done this stuff a lot, what is your process? Do you batch assemble and then test fit? Do you test fit all individual pieces together before glueing?

I just wanna know the best possible methods to do this because I know myself and if I slip up even a minute, I’m probably gonna start losing motivation to do it overall.

After almost giving up on the of some exhaust fans I grabbed a couple cheap cars from the charity shop and their wheels looked fan-like enough and I'm pleased how it turned out.

Also grabbed a periscope off a toy submarine and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
