Posted on Thursday, September 2, 2010, 6:06 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

I’ve been progressing with the scenery while waiting for some LEDs to arrive for Vincents head. First up is the portable marquis sign. After completing the scratch-building process I primed the sign in Mr. Color Base White. Then when dry I masked off the white portion and sprayed the whole sign in uber-cheap “Color Place” [...]

It took a little longer than I had planned but I’ve finally took completed images of Alb-Lab’s Markov Racer. As seen in the in-progress posts below, this particular racer was sponsored by this very website! Pretty swanky eh? You know you’ve made it when you can sponsor an anti-gravity racing event. Once the final clear [...]

In Progress » ‘Futuristic’ Prototype 01 Vincent »

Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010, 11:59 am, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

Years ago a fellow modeler friend of mine, Walter Pezzali, created a fantastic 1950′s looking robot kit master. (Vincent) I purchased one of the first and probably only casts of the time and while the design was great, the self-casting job was not. We decided to exchange it and try again later when he found [...]

Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 9:33 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

Been a few weeks since I touched this or updated, but I wanted to show the progress so far. Since the last update I first applied about 5 layers of Future then after a week of curing I used 6000, then 8000 grit micromesh to wet-sand it to a nice glossy polish. After the polishing [...]
