This was my attempt at the now defunct line of resin kits from Industrial Mechankia. I'm so glad I got this when I did as they sadly stopped selling and making these kits. I would like to have gotten the Deathss Head moth but it was never available when I was looking. Instead, I chose the Dragonfly and I'm glad I did as it was a very enjoyable build
I decided to paint mine in its bare materials (so nude). This won me the WhatIf SciFi group build win a number of years ago
The base is scratch built and had working lighting

Looking fantastic... You really cannot tell it is a resin kit. Very detailed..

I remember seeing this one somewhere before and it is just as gorgeous now to me as it was when I first saw it. Jaw dropping work on this one Simon!!

Oh how I miss IMech. I've managed to find a lot of the kits I wanted, but some are gone forever (The Bishop!).
This is outstanding. It's not "bug-ish" painted nude, but I like it anyway!

Yeah, I miss them too. They just do 3d files now which is useless for those of us who don't have a 3d printer. I had grand ideas for the Deaths Head but I just couldn't get my hands in it.
I recognise your avatar from somewhere else. Were you on resin Illuminati a few years ago?

I miss Fichten Foo's old message board. That was a great place to learn!
I always wanted one of these, just never could line things up. Funny story, when they sold the Briegel in like 2016, I used my car payment to get one😅
I like the nude look on this one.

I recognise your avatar from somewhere else. Were you on resin Illuminati a few years ago? Oh, likely so. I've used this same avatar everywhere forever. Used to be on Keeper of the Force daily as well! I know one of these days I'll have to break down and get a 3d printer. The easier they get to use, the more likely I am to do it.

That is sooo cool. I would have loved to have a kit of this one. I just watched "Mortal Engines" on Netflix, and this dragonfly would have fit in perfectly.

I quite liked Mortal Engines, even though it got panned heavily by the critics. The concept of huge mobile cities is pretty gnarly.
