Projects built from scratch using little existing parts
I built this flyer several years ago and after many starts and stops, I’ve finally finished it.
I like how it turned out. I think the colors fit the rounded and playful shapes. I really like rounded and organic shapes. Originally I wanted to make it somewhat cartoonish and didn’t intend to add any weathering. But ...
This Egg ship is another old build that’s been patiently waiting for paint. At long last that day has come.
This was somewhat inspired by the Sentinel drones in the Matrix, even though it looks nothing like them. I envisioned this as an unmanned drone of some sort and wanted it to look stealthy. I always ...
Built this one during the summer of 2018. It was my first project after moving to Japan. I didn’t have many supplies and model bits then, having left them in America, so I made due with what I had available: candy containers, plastic spoons, and lots of apoxie putty.
After posting this photo on different social ...
Another project finished. Another project a long time in the making. I held off painting this guy in the hopes of one day making copies of it. That plan never came to fruition so I decided to finally paint it. Inspired by Ashley Wood’s World War Robot art, I made this guy using capsule tops ...
I finally finished painting this little guy. I built him years ago and he’s been waiting patiently. In addition to painting him, I renamed him as well. Before he was known simply as Sakana (fish in Japanese). He shall now be known as F1-5H. I had always envisioned him as a rust bucket that has ...
The 3 Amigos. The BotHead Trilogy.
Made these guys from different bits and pieces. Things like caps, keyboard keys, plastic spoons, legos, and other bits.

Summers in Japan are miserable hot and humid. Usually too humid to use the airbrush, so I busied myself making a lot of new projects.
This was a fun little project. I started it just to be doing something. I didn’t have any ideas in mind other than I wanted to make something. (more…)
I built this guy with the idea of making copies in mind. My goal was to build him in multiple parts that could be put together. I’m used to making things as one offs, so this was fun to do.
For his body I used the cap (always with the caps) off an oversized pen my ...
Here’s one of the new projects I’ve been working on. I had an idea in my head of making a robot with lots of round surfaces. I wanted him really “bubbly” looking and cartoonish. He went through several iterations before I finally decided I needed to move on. I’m not completely satisfied on how he ...
I was going through my parts box the other day and came across some really cool pieces that I’ve been wanting to use. Among them were a couple of tank kits. I started toying with them, trying different configurations to see what would look cool. I didn’t have any intention of starting a new project, ...
On last update for the night…
My WarBot! is now complete. The last thing to complete were his hands. I had originally intended to use some Gundam kit hands but they were too detailed and looked out of place with the rest of the model. Since WarBot! is modeled after the designs of Ashley Wood’s WWR ...
