    Battletech... paper dolls, I guess?

    There are no actual ball-joints on the model, everything is solved with swivels and axles in plain bearings. The model generally only uses single swivels plus axles right now. I did find this kit that does use ball joints, but I feel that they aren´t worth the bother. It´s six parts vs +16 for...

    Battletech... paper dolls, I guess?

    It's the most hassle-free system of joints I found. Anyway, this is what I came up with as a means of getting the joints and skeleton in and out of the hull after some big thinks. The sides of the back parts that hold the connectors are a stack of three pieces that are shaped and cut to slide...

    Battletech... paper dolls, I guess?

    I really didn´t think about that yet, but recall I also have a pattern from my first hip hinge that I imagine could apply here.

    Battletech... paper dolls, I guess?

    Kujira detalied most of the assembly process in blog posts, which are really helpful, but incomplete. You still need to refer to the PDO to get the whole picture. I google translated and compiled them into a PDF for my convenience. It´s formatted for double-sided print because I´m an...

    Battletech... paper dolls, I guess?

    I did build most of the skeleton to get an idea how the parts interact, but I cribbed the image from the creator´s blog for illustrative purposes. I guess it stands and poses now. I´ll have to see how much load it can actually bear beyond its own in the near future. All the hinges are of his...

    Battletech... paper dolls, I guess?

    Kind of at a loss where to put these, but I suppose this is the best spot for what´s quasi an action figure. And sorry about the shitty photos, I have to find a charger for my old camera´s battery yet. Can´t just nab my old dad´s. I felt like blog posting here like I´m trying to tell you all...

    Couple of years late, I guess?

    Howdy from Austria, the place that has neither ocean access or Kangaroos, I registered way back during 2013 or so, but only got around to becoming serious about the hobby recently when I happened upon the pieces I had been missing. I´ll mainly be posting about my ongoing project - articulated...

    Battlemechs, a three-step project

    My story is a bit eccecentric. I'm a Mecha-nerd at heart. I really like gigantic robots and yet I really don't want to let my nerdiness hang out too much and build those plastic-models that are available for very little money. So I decided to start a long-term project and work towards making...
