Giant robots… if you have been following me the past 20 years, you know how much a giant robot fan I am and always have been. Most of my model-kit gallery is filled with them, and I love designing them. So obviously I had to design at least one as…
I love ornithopters. Flapping flight has always been a fascination and after having read Dune several times in the 1990s I was hooked on the concept, even construction some from balsa and tissue based on plans I found online. Once of my first solo kit productions before Industria Mechanika was…
For some reason, the small space launch/shuttle at the end of the original Gundam series always resonated with me. I had hoped that back when Bandai was producing the Gundam UC Hardgraph (UCHG) line of 1/35 scale “ground-level” kits, that this would find it’s way into their line-up, but alas…
Before learning 3D design, I had created several “ball joint dolls” aka BJDs aka Elastic Tension Figures. These figures utilize elastic cord which holds all of the parts together while providing tension and friction to keep the figures posed as intended. At the time I hadn’t used Fusion 360 for…
Before I started Industria Mechanika creating, producing and collaborating on resin model kits, I had sold a few model kit masters I had sculpted to a company called Mig Productions who turned them into resin kits. The first was a walking tank body using a turret from a KV-2 tank…
This quick digital kit design was done mostly for fun as it would be a somewhat unreasonable 5 feet long (150cm) when completed. My dad worked on these most of his life so I have a bit of a soft spot for them. And who knows? Maybe someone would do…
While designing the Jellyfish-Shaped Submersible digital kit, I realized that it would be great to have a set of random objects and equipment that you would normally associate with nautical adventures to go with it. While not all of these would fit inside of the Jellyfish Diving Bell such as…
As an accessory for my growing list of aquatic creature-shaped submersibles, I recreated another backburner design I had long ago wanted to make as a resin kit. The Bewildering Jellyfish-Shaped Diving Bell is an underwater habitat of sorts. Divers and submersibles utilize these to increase the amount of time they…
