MWO Desert camo Hunchback

This was painted for an exhibition and the first HBK to be finished. Because it's going to be in an exhibition, so assembly consideration had to be given. The aerial and small head laser have been omitted and the hump has been glued to reduce the chance accidents as a result of clumsy handling.

All made in house on a Roland MDX40a 4 axis mill, recast and painted by myself. Record time for painting on this one 4days from bare resin put in some very long hours and blurred vision!

I know this is an odd thing to be please with, but I particularly like how bicep decal came out any one whose had to put a decal non-flat surface will tell you its a pain, but this one came out right first time. The decal was place on the bicep allowed to dry then sealed with gloss then the floating parts were cut with a scalpel and lowered into recess of the X emboss, sealed in with gloss and shaded with the rest of the model.

Approx 16cm to 16.5cm tall (Table top HBK for comparison).
1/60 scale.
Waist, shoulders and elbows articulate.
Legs can be glue in different articulated positions.
31 separate parts go into making the model.



Comparison with my earlier Centurion.

    This is...I don't have words. Amazing. I wish to acquire one from you, can something be arranged? Perhaps not the ones pictured here, but a commission if you will

    Really nice to see this one come together, you've outdone yourself this time. Are you planning to paint up a few more?
    On a side note: are your decals from fighting pirhana?

      Yes, I wanted a swappable one. On the cards are two for pgi and two for myself (swappable humps and SRM version) so everyone going to be sick of hunchbacks by Halloween.

      Decals are home made on laser printer/clear decal paper/white mask on the model (since I can't print white). Faction are the only decals I use everything else is a mask and painted

      I use SRP Player to write the machine code but looking to move to something more advanced when I have the time to learn a new program
