concept MECHA GB: bitBOT 001 by DC23

This is the second finished entry for our concept MECHA GB and this is my most photoshoped pics of any finished kit that I have. One of the requirement of the GB is too have a black background and even though I shot the kit against black paper, I just cannot achieve a black background.

I think I have to shoot indoors to achieve a black background as I shot outdoors thus making the black paper look gray. I then added a vignette to try to blend our concept MECHA GB logo. Anyways, this was a really fun build and I should make more bitBOTs for the GB after my Zeta commission works.

My objective in this build is to produce a small simple robot that I could play with in the office. Thus I used a choroQ base with a pullback wheel and glued all the parts with epoxy so that it is really strong. I have yet to give this another layer of semi gloss future to make sure the finishing will be extra strong.

I painted the blue base color with spray cans and super weathered the kit with citadel paints and some enamel washes. I also detail painted the brass colored parts with citadel paint. Now here are more photos of this little guy...

MAC concept MECHA GB is heating up!

FORGET Gundams! Our MAC concept MECHA Group Build is really starting to heat up! There are at least 10 work in progress threads in the WIP section for this GB, to think that the GB was only announced a few days ago! I guess we all secretly needed a break from Gundams OR creating your own robot from scrap parts is just so fun!



Don't get left behind guys! I say you join with the fun of creating this robots / mecha from scraps! Here is the link to our MAC forums WIP section...

bitBOTs 001: WIP - initial assembly

This is my first in my bitBOTs series and my entry for our MAC concept MECHA GB. Just a quick assembly of some parts I found around my work area. My daughters had fun watching me while I was assembling this little guy.



My bitBOTs will just be a series of small mono eye robots made from bits and pieces of stuff. Nothing fancy and complicated with this series. The objective is simple, try to make them as cute and durable as I can. I want my bitBOTs very playable, so I will try to make the joints very strong.



I will use Epoxy for gluing the parts and will let it cure for a day before priming. Now here are some photos of this very quick build...

Thanks for dropping by! Hope to see you join our concept MECHA GB! :)
