#dougram — Public Fediverse posts

I managed to find the 30th Anniversary reissue of the 1/144 Dougram kits. These were the kits that originally inspired Battletech and were sold as Battletech kits by Twentieth-Century Imports. It's a set of 10 kits: 2 Shadow Hawks, 2 Griffins, 2 Wolverines, Thunderbolt, Battlemaster, Scorpion and Goliath.

I might document these for Sarna.net before building them.

Another tiny robot pilot, this one in (so I declare) Star League olive drab with a personalized red and yellow neurohelmet. Silver insulated pipes along the arms and legs feed coolant to the suit as their mech builds heat.

And now for an entirely different, but similar, flavor of bullshit.

Crescent Hawks 3039 Striker Lance.

Warhammer
Crusader
Thunderbolt

I need to find a way to secure the thunderbolt's arm better, I might have to drill a hole and insert a peg or something.

Full glamour shots will be reserved for when I've got the other 9 mechs finished (8 mechs plus a second form for the Phoenix Hawk LAM)

Funny little Shadowhawk* model**

*A Dougram combat armor from Fang of the Sun Dougram, in 1:72 scale. Basically a high grade, though none of the joints are polycap and as a result it's a little wobbly. A pleasant afternoon's build, save for some detail paint and water slide decals yet to be applied.

**In a perfect world there would be Battlepla to go along with gunpla. Le sigh.

CW: More naked robots,these have rashes!

I cannot get that stuff out even with a bladed sculpting tool that will scratch the metal, so I give up, at least for now. It's thin enough that the detail will probably still be visible after new primer and paint.

CW: More dirty-ass bare naked robots.

At this point, I may have to give in and admit that without an ultrasonic cleaner, these are not going to lose the discoloration or get the grooves cleaned out. A wire brush and a steel pick have both failed to get the red and/or white off/out.

An ultrasonic cleaner may not even work, tbqh.
