Futuristic Robots

[Bullmark]

hello,

First post here!
It's hard to start so I will show pictures more than I will speak but to give an quick background I started this project 6 or 7 years ago as a comics and a 3D practice,it end up as a line of resin Kits, I will never draw the comics but it was a good practice for the 3D .
The world behind the robots is an alternate retro future mixing a lot of my influences from the 40's,50's futuristic designs (toys ,car ,comics, googies, etc...) I will add more infos each post .
So the it began with some home made resin kit .






more tomorrow!

Hi Walter! You'll love this forum.

This is who designed the Vincent robot I built with the Motel and Marquee sign. Great kits!

Welcome aboard! Cool robots.

Nice! How do you transition from the 3D design to the resin masters? 3D printing? sculpting?

It's 3D printing then refine some parts by hand ,I did everything from the master to the casting for the kits display above but now I work with a factory (same one  that produce the Dust kits) , they take the 3D data and do all the work to the final product .
I will take back in hand the master production because sometimes they adapt or simplify things without warning me ,it's nothing that bad they don't change the design but I miss this part and I alway want to add more details when I have the real model in hand.
More pictures :
prototypes and masters.





final product



A video i did to explain to the flexible spine for the Vincent:

How much for a custom 1/35 Liberty Prime?

How much for a custom 1/35 Liberty Prime?

I loved the first 2 fallout games didn't play the new one but many people told me that my robots could fit in their world .
My biggest influences are from comic books artist such as Wally Wood, Jack Kirby etc ...
For the custom job could be a fun project but my jobs for comics are really big time eater and all my free time is now for my stuff ,I am surprised they didn't do any collectibles from the games yet.
To not post empty :
Here is my first diorama (well first one since I was a teen ... so a long time ago ), I have plans for more maybe as a collaboration with some modelers I have not the space and the tools to work at home .
Notice the recycle base from the previous kit .

I have a step by step for it but I guess it will be not so much useful for 99,99% of the people posting here from the quality of the work I  have seen I am even a bit shamed to post mine .

To conclude all the kits I have produced so far, I am working on 3 more kits .

Well, it wasn't a very serious request. I think it'd scale out to 18" tall or larger, and cost a small fortune.
