1/48 RDA Scorpion Gunship from Avatar the movie

After that awesome work in progress Avatar inspired table got posted in a local Infinity facebook group I had to order one of those 1/48 gunships from Alixpress. Arrived today, the box looks dodgy as but the model is brilliant. Damn bargain for $20 US delivered. Roving reporter GoGo Marlene braves my work table covered in Fallout minis to give scale to the beast. Hey you can even tell it's from the future cause the rocket pods are hex shaped ;) also has two spring loaded missiles and an LED in the nose and I think it makes noises but I need to put in some watch batteries. I think the body is partly diecast cause it's quite heavy and sturdy. The cockpit would look better with the frames painted.

1/43 Cars good for terrain

Found some nice Police cars in 1/43 on the weekend at Bankstown Markets 2 for $5. Bugatti Veyron pursuit cars seem suitably futuristic for Infinity. They also had some Ferraris but I liked the look of these better. Also picked up some 1/43 cars from Aldi yesterday. Nice quality for $4 each. Good detail on the Hummer. Think the Ford pickup is a bit smaller scale.

Guardians of the Galaxy Milano

OK I admit this is an old one back from 2014 but I'm trying to be thorough getting my hobby facebook posts on the blog before they all disappear.

 Picked up the big Guardians of the Galaxy ship today at Oz Comic Con, haven't seen it in the local shops so far, only the smaller one that Rocket flies and the Nova Corps ship. The cockpit interior fits 3 figs so a bit roomy should you want to put a crew in there. Also it lights up on the nose and makes sound effects.

GoGo Marlene Miku style

A friend gave me the GoGo Marlene mini and said see what you can come up with. To me the twin tails with the square hair ties and most of the outfit design made me think of one inspiration so I cracked out the greys and cyan. Did most of the work at the monthly Oz Painters meet up yesterday, finished her off today but still have to paint the rabbit bot, bit stumped how to paint it. The base was a spare from Sedition Wars if you're curious. 

She's become my standard scale test miniature everytime I buy some vehicles or buildings for sci-fi terrain.

Antenocitis Workshop Mag Bikes

Browsing the store seeing what's new when I spotted these. Wow I had to grab them immediately.

They seem to remind me of some movie :)

I'm sure these would look good with riders or just parked around a sci fi city.

The Chopper filling the screw holes

Wasn't sure how hard or easy it would be to fill the very prominent screw holes in the hotwheel a chopper I posted a couple weeks ago. Jammed in some alfoil first to fill them a bit then jammed in green stuff. Took a few hours of pressing it flush, then cutting it back then sanding then some Tamiya putty before more sanding. Then gluing on some new rivets where they never were or got sanded off in the smoothing. Will hit it with some primer tomorrow. No idea what colour to paint it yet though.

Get to the Sci Fi Choppa!

Saw this at Kmart and thought it would look cool for Infinity or Relic Knights parked on a helipad. Could use some putty to fill the screw holes and a cool paint job.

The orange pod drops off and opens to launch a car

It has a base thingy too that connects to a bit of track

It's got a cool GI Joe sorta look to the canopy but in something roughly mini scale.
