Steam Wars: Attack of the Duplicated Machines


Recommended Posts

Hmm, my text  didn't show up-

This is based on the AMT Star Wars Corporate Droid kit.  I added rivet decals, replaced some plastic parts with brass parts, and painted it with Rustoleum bronze paint.  The headlights are from a 1/16th scale Mercer kit; the front drive wheel is a Hands mag wheel from the AMT parts pack.  Vallejo black wash was used to weather it. 

All in all, a fun break from automotive modeling!

Thanks for the accolades!  This isn't my first foray into steampunk 

And I don't think it'll be my last!  

One of my inspirations was a steampunk AT-AT that I had found online; the Corporate Droid that I based this on was just handier and cheaper.

The kit is a great slump-buster.  There was no flash, few mold lines, and it was well engineered - in many ways it's better than some of the AMT car models from circa 2005.  The most difficult aspect of assembly was applying the rivet decals and ho scale screws, the rest was just finding parts that would make it look like a century old war machine, rather than  a droid from a galaxy far, far away.
