Update April, 2007





I'm back again, and still at it with this Microman thing. This time around, I'm featuring the photography of my friend Oscar, as he came over my house one day with his sweet camera...most of these pictures were taken with minimal lighting. He's responsible for all of the photos up to and including 'Air Defense Unit' and you can see more of his stuff (non-micro) at www.flickr.com/photos/oscarchabebe

Once again, thanks for looking!

Master Spy


My buddy Jeff says she looks like a bumble bee, so I think I'm going to do her up like one at some point...
Oscar "Hands in the pants? I can do that!"lol!!

Titan Commander




I finally found this pirate chick at Mandarake and liked her so much I built this stand for her from a Galactic Cruiser and put her in charge of the West Colony (That is, the westernmost portion of my room). I've renamed her 'Titan Commander' as I figure she has some kind of special bonus when it comes to commanding large robots...

Untitled


I still haven't figured out this guy's role, but I have taken him out of storage and sent him to the colony...

Assault Lifter



I think I may have mentioned this before, but this is basically a Han Solo jet-pack thing with two Armored Core arms and a Lego-joint for a missle launcher-type thing. Oscar helped with the development by giving some ideas that otherwise might not have occured to me...

Seargent Major


This quirky little kitbash is in charge of the outpost's air defense...

More Acro Circut Ranger



Those who have been following this blog will remember this one probably. Oscar and I were just running out of stuff and still wanted to take a few more pictures...

Air Defense Unit


This is just a Star Wars gun painted nice...

Alpha Centurian


As of this moment, that's this guy's official name. He serves as the Field Marshall for the colonists...

More Titan Commander




Here's a few more shots of what I consider to be my coolest custom yet(which is only the stand)...

Gyro Coptor


I think that is what I'm calling it. It didn't come out as well as I hoped and so I gave up in the middle. Maybe one day I'll work on it again, but as it is, it's done for me.

More Mandarake Kitbashing



I've been making trips to Mandarake to try to find cheap kits to bash into my Microman collection. None of these kits cost more than a couple of bucks and they all have something cool. I figure it's more fun if it can be done on the cheap.

Mech Park-to-be


This area is currently under development. It will be used as a base for a group of larger robots I am now building, which will be placed under Titan Command.

Ground Control to Major Tom...
