Zyrkowski Surge X500 - Build Log

I've had the idea to build a futuristic motorcycle for a long time. Many ideas have been floating around my head for several years, but I finally started building in june this year. 

June 1 

First attempt at locking the tire. Glad the handcuffs worked as a rim for the tire.

June 7

Adding the rear wheel using the DUPLO Train Action Bricks. Now I just need to fill out the blanks. 

October 4

Coming back to this after SHIPtember. Adding handlebars and more datils.

October 11

Feeling done here. Just needs to add some more details and stickers to make it look more cyberpunky.

October 13

More details and some wires.

November 10

Felt like building a street scene for the bike.

December 26

Photography. Trying a sheet of clear acryllic to make the images look cooler. 

SHIPtember 2020 - Build Log

I had many different ideas for SHIPtember this year. During summer I decided to build a ship based on a concept by Ian Mcque: https://twitter.com/ianmcque/status/1257271437674582021

September 1 

My first task was to build the side panels:

September 2

And one more: 

Trying to fit the panels on a frame: 

September 3

I think I have the right angle now and it feels sturdy.

September 5

Now I need to get the windows of the cocpit right. The cockpit is a very important thing to get right on a ship. 

September 13

More progress. I've started building the grabbing mechanism.

This is the last WIP-shot.

September 24

Here is the final result:

Bugger & Grassly - Build log

March 14 

I start building the plant character with a lot of inspiration from the artwork by Konstantin Maystrenko

March 22

Started building the bug character. First idea was to build a moth. This looks horrible though. 

April 5

The plant character is coming along nicely. I've abandoned the moth idea. But the bug still looks super bad, and too big i realize. 

April 8

The full glass tank obscured too much of the plant so i decided to take the roof off. Added a bit more details. 

Started on a new bug

April 23

Almost done now

April 30

Last minute adjustments. Changed the legs of the bug.

ARM-Ship - Build log

November 20

The critical part was to get the cockpit right. I'm not sure I succeeded but I really tried. These are my first attempts.



I didn't quite get a shape that I liked though. This felt better:

January 6

So, I ordered some parts and started building.

 

Some arm iterations. 

I also wanted to add some lighting.

And some last minute adjustments before photography.
