I've got to give credit to Marcus for inspiring me to try something I never thought I'd delve into. His What If dio "Middle East 2030" got me thinking how I'd like to try something like that. With funds being tight at the moment I thought I've got plenty in the spares box and even more in the Evergreen pile, I should be able to give the pictured Mech Warrior, ago at scratchbuilding her. It might take me a little while as I'm keen on working on about six different projects at the moment, but this idea has got me very excited. 😄

Welcome Choppa, I've started with the cockpit this afternoon and it's coming along quite well so far.

Christian Lehmann
Nice idea. I am in 👍

Choppa Nutta
I love a bit of scratch building me, it's the creative thing that gets me 😄

Nice that you have a plan from the beginning, an approximate aiming point etc.
"Design as you go" can end up as a collection of bodges, one on top of the other.
I like the look of the legs on this design 🙂

Welcome aboard Christian, I've finished the seat and the side consoles are 90% done. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the floor and back wall well and truly under control, then the side frames and some color before finishing the cockpit with the window.
@Choppa, I have detailed pics of most of the Mech.

Ingo F
Hey Michael, did you do the 3D rendering of this Mecha or is it from a game/movie?
8 June 2017, 11:03
Choppa Nutta
Cool ! 🙂

G'day Ingo, no I Googled "Mech Warriors" because I wanted to see what was out there in the way of kits, but as I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment I thought I could find some inspiration and I found quite a few images of what I have pictured above. So with having images from different angles, and pics just concentrating on particular sections I thought I might have a crack at scratch building. Trying to make it look the same the best I could. I didn't do anything on her today but I am very happy with what I have done so far.

Michael Hickey
I should be able to get some pics up tonight.👍
10 June 2017, 03:55
Michael Hickey
Not the best pics but at least it gives you mates what I'm trying to achieve. Now I'll paint these pieces and move onto the rest of the cockpit.
10 June 2017, 13:42
Glenn
Yep! Michael you should be able to knock one up from the spares box! And a few of those "fidget spinners'" for the knee joints! 🙂
10 June 2017, 13:44
MoJo
I am in!
10 June 2017, 13:53
Michael Hickey
Yeah, and anything I can't get from the spares box I can always steal from other kits and make a mold of it and cast it.;)
10 June 2017, 14:04
Christian Ristits
This is a great project, I am in!
10 June 2017, 15:04

Hey Guys, Managed to get a bit of modeling done in the last two days, most of the cockpit section is done. Probably another day to finish this section, then I'll move onto the weapons underneath and power supply.
14 June 2017, 11:44
Ingo F
Wow, looks very good so far! 👍 Keep it up- 🙂
14 June 2017, 11:47
Michael Hickey
Thanks Ingo, I think I need to redo the area where the feet go, it's marginally to short.🙁
14 June 2017, 11:54
Holger Kranich
Are you going to rob your spares box, Mikey?;)
14 June 2017, 12:04
Bart Goesaert
promising start ...
14 June 2017, 12:17
Michael Hickey
Thanks Guys, Holly your so funny, but I've actually used more Evergreen than parts from the spares box.

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Good to see you have started 👍

Clint Mecham
Be nice to see more mech type kits. Specifcally Battletech stuff. This looks like it would fit right in as a manufactures kit. It is impressive work!

Michael Hickey
Thanks for your very kind comments Clint.
