Wooo new toy!

I'm very excited. Today I received a very rare (and horribly expensive) model kit - the Pocher Rolls Royce Phantom II Torpedo. It's going to horrify car enthusiasts, but I'm gutting and hacking it up for donor parts to make a Maschinen Krieger design that Kow Yokoyama made in early 1983 - the Cerberus.

Vital parts - the Fenders:

Other necessary bits, cannibalized from the engine, mostly:

Here's the original, which I had a chance to study last year, when Lisa and I went to Tokyo!

BusyBee!

Hi gang, I have a whole slew of updates to post, so it should be a fun week or so! First up, I have been "building" some things out of model kit parts - these are modular, and will be joined to the main body soon (not shown).

The twin-boom shapes will have much more detailing done to them, once they are affixed to their armature!
