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.

 

January 14

And some last minute adjustments before photography.

 

Final result:

SHIPtember 2019 - Build log

Real life caught up with me this year. Both family and work took a lot of time. I wasn't sure this SHIP would work until the last days. I didn't take many WIP-shots this year sadly. But here are some:

These are my first experimentations with angles

Really pleased with the angle here. I built a structure with ball joints and then secured the structure with technic parts. After this I built a stand for the SHIP and measured the height.

Filling the gap

I experimented with slopes and panels to find a shape that fitted the gap. Below you can see my first attempt at a cockpit. But it just didn't work until I built it in white. 

Details and weapons

 

I wasn't sure about the cannon. Here you can see what it looked like just a few days before the final photo-session. Too big!

Final result

Outpost 43 - Build log

This started with me experimenting with parts. I wanted to build a triangular spaceship, but it didn't take long before it looked better as a microscale building.

May 13

First day of building

May 23

 

Adding some more details. Also, I wanted to try using the Barraki Bionicle Canister so I've started building a crack in an ice sheet.

June 7

Pretty much done now. But after showing this to some people they suggested I ad a brick built background.

June 11

June 15

Time to take some pictures.

Final result:

B-07 Melee Mech - Build log

So, Djokson announced his contest on may 6: https://flic.kr/p/2fNRzpM

May 6

The premise of a boxing robot seemed a bit silly to me at first, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. My first thought was building some large fists.

These parts just seem to fit together. I'm just experimenting at this point. White and blue seems ok though.

I came up with the idea of this head many years ago but I haven't used it. About time. Hmm... this looks lame. 

This looks better.

This took me about two hours.

May 8

Replaced the first fist with this. I have two K-2SO heads and I wanted to use them for something.

I quickly built this just to get the right proportions. I had decided on a pose so I'm just trying to get the right feel here.

Adding some detail to the legs. 

This is the pose I imagine for the final result.

May 12

 Adding more details.

May 13

Here is how the fist is built

Final touches. Adding some stickers. And...

I'm done!

Now...photography and post editing :(
