You know the Drill ....

Back from my earliest days as a kid making models, I loved the way Thunderbirds would use pieces of plastic kits to embellish their models.

Amongst other things, I'm working on a Giant X-ray robot and I want concealed boring drills in it's toecaps!

I couldn't find an off the shelf shape, so I decided I'd have to make it myself.

My 3D modelling skills fall far short of organic or mechanical subjects, so I couldn't just slap one together with a mouse!

So I decided to sculpt some examples using Kleenclay and talcum powder to polish it. After getting a nice smooth general shape, I carefully rolled a Satay stick into the surface to create the spiral grooves.

Then it was just a matter of 3D scanning it and a little smoothing and polishing in zBrush!

Now I can stretch or size it to my satisfaction.

...a pretty high tech way of making things with my own hands!

Looey

Kang Moguras!

 I found this Kang figure and a massive plastic auger at the car boot! 

Yes!

Kang Moguras! 

The auger is the same colour scheme as the Masters of the Universe Man at Arms figure too!

Rob's Amazing Model Moguras

Woodsy,

In response to your recent "Driller Thriller" post, here are pix of two Midori Moguras models I have built. 

The smaller, yellow one is Moguras Jr., and the larger, orange one is King Moguras, the cousin of the toy version you've shown. 

There is also a larger model, called "Big Moguras," which I have never run across.
