Ian McQue style diorama

[kerick]

Here's a couple of pics I promised. First up is the container I put a couple of decals on and some rust.







Then a little update on the tower. I added railings and an enclosed ladder among other bits and pieces.





Best part about this project is, the more imperfect it is, the better! The rust and abuse of the container isn't done yet.....

Well its been quite a long time since I posted anything here! I got the urge to get out the junk parts boxes and try to build some bots/droids. Not something I've seen in a lot of Ian McQue's art but if he did this is what they might look like.
This is the first one with the main body made from some sort of breech block for perhaps a tank gun.



Here's the boys gathered around the table. I hope one of them is programmed to serve drinks!



The one on the right is a bit of a throw back to Lost In Space. The one on the left is made from a missile parts and OV-10 Bronco main gear I've been saving for decades. At least I finally found a use for them!



I felt he needed a tail wheel even after I shaved a flat spot on the wheels that actually balanced. Once I added the arms he fell forward so I added a lead weight to the back of the inside. Sits well now.





This guy might end up a busy looking windmill yet, I don't know.



Dueling droids?



Tool box



And I added some camera eyes. Some might say like WALL-E but, hey, why not? The eye holding bracket and the arms are from some 1/48th scale landing gear molded in black from I don't know what.



So this is what I've been fooling around with between planting a garden, watering plants, running to doctors and cleaning the air conditioning condenser from all the grass clippings from the last three years. And it's been fun, so that's good!

Cool!

Always nice to see Creative Gizmology put into practice.

Oh yeah, those are great! Freeform kitbashing is always fun.

[Rheged]

Most impressive.  The force is strong in your imagination!

I can almost hear the soundtrack.............. 

[su27rules]

Very nice!!  Cool droids.

Thanks everyone!
Creative Gizmology and Freeform Kitbashing, I like these terms.

Cool bots! Maybe it's the claws/hands but they remind me of the ones from MasterBox:
