K-2SO - Print, Build & Paint

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Snub-Nosed Blade Runner Blasters!

It does seem the Adam like his movie props and especially his "blasters". He has quite the arsenal. This kit was a 3D print in resin. As usual, Adam added some of his shop created bits.

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Mandalorian Amban Blaster Replica!

This aspect is intesting, however the fabrication of this Mandalorian Amban Blaster will be even more so. It must be great to have all the right equipment and materials at hand when working on something like this. Well done!

Special Guests at Adam Savage's Cave

Recently Evan and Katelyn visted Adam Savage's cave with information about some new discoveries while working with resin. Facinating stuff and inspirational.

Mini Slayer

My posts have been scant this month. This miniature stands approximately 33mm tall and is cast from resin. Although he is pretty detailed I don't know if I will paint him.

Alligator Resin

Cast from resin this little cartoonish looking alligator measures approximately 57 long by 25mm wide.

I have different ideas as to what should be included on my model railroad layout. To add just a hint of whimsy he or is it a she will be added in the swamp on my layout.

Alien Spaceship Invades my Science Fiction Library

I awoke this morning to find this ceature examing my science fiction library. The stack continues to grow and as well, my list of unread books.

The flying scaucer measures approximately 35w by 30mm tall and is fashioned from resin. It does include fare amount of moulded in details to a silver body with some red and green paint to some molded details. THe clear canopy sits on top of a black center with a set of small colored spheres.

Two Odd and Unusual 1/24 Scale Models

1/24 Scale Resin Boatman

This is an odd rsin sculpt and is very economical. I don't know whether I will purchase one of these models.

1/24 Scale Resin Motorcycle Girl

Interesting piece, economical, and it shouldn't be to difficult to finish.

My 1/35 Scale Rowboat has Arrived

Some assembly is required. There are two oars, a plank for a seat, and a buffer that will need to be put in place. The resin piece will need a little clean-up with a file and then painted and weathered.

Although I don't have any imediate plans for this piece, it did catch my eye and I decided to purchase the piece. It will be added to my "small" projects, those that can be completd within a few hours. It also requires the new label of "boat".

Miniature Robot Kit

Ladomér the Robot stands approximately 40mm tall. I found him at BiteSizedBattles on Etsy.

I used my Artistic license when building my copy of Ladomér, which is still in process. I am am putting finishing touches on a scratch built rutsack I have fashioned and of course the specimen will need some paint.

The way I interpeted the build was, the back side allowed the placement for one of the included accessories.

Perhaps the author was being nice for in addition to the accessories, like a small rutsack, a jetpack, a arm with a space gun, and treaded wheels there were extra arms and legs. These parts will go in my kit-bash box and are much appreciated. They will come in handy for future projects.

1/87 Scale Steam Engine, Vertical and Horizontal Boilers

Here is a small collection of a steam engine and boilers that I have coompleted. As thses have been built sometime ago, I cannot say, with the exception of one model, where they are from.

RioGrande Models Ltd. Stationary Long Boiler. Cast in resin.

Steam boiler has seen its better days and has been loaded on a pallet and has become a collection point for other miscellaneous items.1/87 scale & cast in resin

Back in the day, this steam engine might have supplied power for anyone of many manufacturing concerns. Constructed from a kit of metal parts.

The Skjalos Guard Kystoja Flame Tank is a highly detailed 8mm resin casting from Metal Oak Casting. It will be added to my arsenal of weaponry and brought into play in our next war-game meet. I look forward to painting and detailing this piece of micro armour.

Owls

I found these four owls on eBay. You never know when you might need a wise owl around. They stand one and half inch’s high and are made of solid resin. They are full of detail and are rather cute and were rather reasonable priced I might add.

Four Rusty Rail Resin Castings

These four Rusty Rail castings come in two separate Rusty Rail packages that seem to be out of print, at this time. The castings are cast from a cream colored resin and measure from one inch to a little over an inch long by about a half-inch wide.

The castings, from left to right are a rack full of pipes, a grounded skid with a couple of barrels, a coal bin, and a wooden storage box.

So far I have only gotten to painting one of the castings. I am sorry about the blurry picture.

Wooden Storage Box: could be used for wood for the fireplace or coal for the stove?

Sierra West 1/87 (HO) Detail Parts

Sierra West is a maker of fine craftsmen style structures for model railroaders in HO and O gauges. It seems that I should have purchased more than three of these highly detailed castings. At one time, Sierra West used to sell a whole line of these resin detail parts. Although they still cast their own castings, these casting are only offered in their craftsmen kits.
