RandomDesign Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Time to start the worklog! Over the last days, I was thinking about a design that I can realize for this Ram Mod challenge. Playing with some ideas, I came across one of my favorite movies in terms of art design, "Mortal Engines" Taking the general theme of the movie with its predator cities as an inspiration, I was searching for a city that can might be converted into a Ram Mod for this project. I came across this design here, and thought it would just fit perfect. Now, I need to convert the design into a 3D model and start thinking about the best placement for the ram. nKwoel and Peter Gerd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomDesign Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Started converting the concept art into a 3D model. Most parts will be printed in resin later. Hope to finish everything tomorrow and start printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomDesign Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Making some Good progress on the 3D model. The basic shapes are blocked out. I am now adding in the details. nKwoel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomDesign Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Somehow I thought the deadline was next week *TILT* So I just super speed it up to hopefully keep the delay only two/three days at max. After the 3D model was almost done, I already started printing the parts in resin. Cause I only have a small resin printer, I needed to split up the parts in multiple pieces As you can see, although it is resin printed, I took some time to make some post processing and smoothed out the surface even more. After that, I glued some parts together. Continued to build the parts. I am aiming to have multiple bigger parts, that can be disassembled if needed. Everything is snug fit together, I might install some magnets to get a better holding power. Next up, I am priming all the parts and start the paint job. So I am already on the home stretch. So keep with me a just a little longer. Hope I can finish everything on Wednesday and present you the final pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomDesign Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Made a first test fit with all the primed parts. Looks good so far. Now I will start with the paint job and add the last details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomDesign Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Started with the paint job. The outer ring will get a darker red color. I used a brush to dab on the color. That way, I already get a bit of texture that makes the entire construction looks a little used and old. The main part in the middle got different tones of a light blue and grey for a nice contrast. I masked all the surfaces and then also dabbed on the paint. Next, I am working on the metal parts and will do a weathering before the final assembly.

RandomDesign Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Last quick update before the final images. All parts are now painted and weathered. Going for the final assembly now. The fun part, all parts in the picture will hold together at the end without any glue. All are designed to join into each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
