struschie's "Inside a AG Unit"

[struschie]

Hi gang,
as I’m new to this board I thought it would helpfull to post my latest work. I’m slow due to a 16 mnth boy. But nontheless I manage to come to my silent place and craft something nonvirtual...

I’m a big fan of Kow Yokoyama’s Maschinen Krieger and always wanted to know, how a AG Unit inside (that Ping Pong Balls underneath the Falke and other builts).

We had a discussion about that topic over at BK’s Ma.K. board about it and here's my current interpretation of that topic:

A friend milled some aluminium rings form e and I started to detail them:

I also detailed the inner side and gave it a quick grey wash to see, how it works:

That’s it with some washes:

Beyond cool, looooove the inner side!

[ZLuca]

AWESOME! Clever interpretation!
I've never seen something like that!

Beyond cool, looooove the inner side!

Thanks man!
The inner side is just a bunch of option parts. I started adding them symmetricaly - but after a while I got lazy and thought: Nobody will ever see this. So I just glued the bits together. I'm pretty happy with how it worked out :)

AWESOME! Clever interpretation!
I've never seen something like that!

Hey Luca,
You may know, your great WIP shots encouraged me to scratch stuff - glad you like what I did here. In fact some inspiration came from the gateway in 'Event Horizont' - if you don't know that film, you should whatch it for sure :)

Cheers,
struschie

Definitely see the influence from Event Horizon. I also see a bit of the arc reactor from Iron Man in it, myself :)

Looking good!

[struschie]

Thanks Sharkdog!
Now as you say it - YES! The arc is there :) And funny thing: I currently experiment with an acyrlic version and light

[Hunter Rose]

A really cool intricate little build struschie! Maybe this could be the start to a cross section faulke build?? 

[struschie]

Thanks Hunter Rose!
I'm after a FireFly Unit - not the Falke.
Sadly I started with a minor too wide PPB to add it into the stock Falke Antigrav Units. But stay tuned - there may be a smaller update

[Hunter Rose]

Cool! I look forward to seeing more struschie!

This thing is supposed to be in a testcenter. Tonight I threw some casts I made together and built something what is supposed to be a engine running stationary the AG Unit.

Some more cables and paint and it should work.

Thanks for watching

This is awesome! I'm loving every aspect of this. The inner workings of a anti grav unit is brilliant. Its a shame they dont have something like this in kit form for the folks who want to pop their falke etc into a workshop dio, after all, they have a work crew. Keep the updates flowing, Im looking forward to seeing more of this.

[struschie]

Appreciate your feedback baphomet!
Well - maybe there'll be help for people wanting to upgrade their Falkes with this... ;D

I finished a second engine and will now start painting...

Nice pair! 

Great work with those engines struschie!

Thanks a lot HR!
After some different shades of grey and metallic tones I applied a wash of oils tonight:

Oil effect looks better in daylight (my first time as descent wash)

I love how much stuff is going on on the engines. It really gives it a mechanical engine feel. Now I want to put engines in everything I build.

[struschie]

... resist!
It slows down the build
Appreciate your feedback :)

[Will Vale]

Those are looking excellent. I love the different diameters of piping, and what looks like a toothpaste tube cap :)

[Hunter Rose]

Those engines just keep looking better and better struschie! Awesome!
