PKE Meter build
Posted: September 22nd, 2015, 9:59 pm
So a few weeks ago I snatched up a nice Iona on the Ebay for $20 shipped. I've been watching and felt like this was a good enough deal to jump on. I had already decided I was going for a static, eye candy prop....kinda like my trap build. There's no way I'm going to jam servos and shit in this. My goal is for it to look good hanging from the belt.
A few days ago, this happened
Then it started rolling pretty fast
Then I built up the front for the display on the top
Then played nice with some styrene. Not going to lie here...this was a pain in the ass. It was at this point I decided to go somewhere between Matty version and screen accurate.
Tonight I worked on the back side.....Of course, very few will ever see it but I liked this detail
So now I'm waiting on the primer to dry. I've got a rough cut of the wings. I'll size those up tomorrow. I've ordered some 1/8" clear acrylic rod for the lights on the wings....even though they'll never really light up.
So far, so good.....updates to follow.
