Jan_Work in Progress 3
Added 2022-12-28 02:26:49 +0000 UTCThis should be the last Work in progress set I do for this month, with the following month being a more tactical expansion as well as a few good boy drone companions/weapons platforms.
I've got most of the preposed pieces set up, and you should be able to assemble quite a dynamic squad with everything that's included. All of the renders so far have been made with pieces from the spread~
I also hope everyone had/is having a good holiday break! I've been mostly relaxing with the family the past couple of days, and it's been a good re-coup~
I'll see you guys for a wrap up post on 2022, and the final renders/bits spread for this kit (name pending), but this should be pretty close to that as is, I'm not sure there's much I want to add to this one~

2022-12-30 21:43:30 +0000 UTCI'm definitely getting the Orca then! I was in love with the design, but wasn't sure just how big it was going to be. If it's roughly the size of a 1/100 Gunpla, I can work with that :D

2022-12-29 16:38:31 +0000 UTCYeah the unarmored tail is my favorite xD
Poyper
2022-12-29 05:08:47 +0000 UTCYeah it's something I was messing around with, and I think I'll probably keep doing it with the green colors~
Poyper
2022-12-29 05:04:24 +0000 UTCSo technically you can print/scale things as much as you'd like, granted the supports would need to be re-worked probably if it's anything more then 20%+/- usually. That said, The detail at larger scalings doesn't hold up that well with the more infantry scaled models. The Orca is about as large as a 1/100 scale gunpla give or take, with the sturgeon being closer to a 1/144 scale give or take. Some stuff will definitely scale better for that then others though.

2022-12-29 05:02:47 +0000 UTCAre any of these fully scalable? Like, I love building Gunpla, and some of these parts would make great accessories and greebles for the kits, but I didn't realize that these were 28mm miniatures. Is something like the Orca the same thing, maybe slightly larger?

2022-12-28 20:20:36 +0000 UTCOh these are dope. I like the more. . . laffy taffy style tail.

2022-12-28 10:16:19 +0000 UTCOeh, I sense possibilities to use the tail pieces as back arms in the 4-arm setup. Doctor Octopus, here I come!

2022-12-28 10:15:40 +0000 UTCCanisters are just peak mecha design, and I really enjoy them xD
Poyper
2022-12-28 06:01:20 +0000 UTCOoh! I love the tail variants!! And I really REALLY love the back cylinders!
B. Griffith
2022-12-28 05:02:07 +0000 UTCYeah on any of the infantry scale kits (Goby/GhostShrimp/CardinalFish/etc), I try to do a bunch of useful preposed pieces. They're just too small to construct like the koi/larger mechs. Especially the held rifle poses. Way too much part clipping otherwise~ ~Pipes

2022-12-28 03:02:30 +0000 UTCYoji Shinkawa has been a big inspo for this one xD
Poyper
2022-12-28 02:59:59 +0000 UTCThe tail feels very metal gear and its awesome!
Denis Proulx
2022-12-28 02:55:22 +0000 UTCThese look really great, I absolutely love the different tail poses. From the image preview it looks like there are some pre-posed body with arms and guns which is amazing. I'm still trying to figure out how to pose my archerfish just right 😀.
