Hi guys! I've been stupid-busy with the Industria Mechanika stuff so haven't been able to post on forums as much as I'd like. Not much time to build either, but I managed to finish that Orb Ship last week and plan to spend the weekend modeling as well.
I wanted to show you guys the next Fish-Shaped Submersible design. This one went up for preorder today. (I posted about Sasha coming back with an all new perfect caster, but it got deleted... not sure if mods thought it was a pornbot or not. lol!)
This one was a lot of fun to master and I think I improved on my original fish a lot. This time the kit comes with a pilot which I had one of my 3D collaborators do. There's 3x as much photoetch as before and this time there's laser-cut windows so they're perfectly clear. It'll also come with Scale Hardware rivets to better support the large fins in place.
I started out with foam and bondo as usual. This time I used real tiny brass rivets to do all the riveting instead of small glass microbeads. Sooooo much easier!
