Cool, I haven't seen that picture of years. It was in an old Medical Physics textbook that we used to recommend to students.

Paul, I believe that’s a part of some museum exposition. Just a bunch of random , creepy antique objects. 

Really?  I kinda thought it looked like you might have seen an item on Ebay

had a chuckle, did a search for vintage x-ray equipment on Yahoo images( that's what they are) got bored, then looked at a unrelated image of a T 34 tank.  That's what I would have done anyway😀 It kind of looks like a snapshot of a sequence of events.

Just a fun way of looking at it. By the way.....does Canada have

a lottery? Anyway, thanks for the images, I always enjoy seeing

the things you come up with.

There is not a lot, I have done lately. I like the creative phase of airbrushing and preparing a certain finish, but it comes with unavoidable drying times, which is time consuming.
The Neuspotter got red dots, but wait ugly dots, why?

Well, the solution to the riddle are the red crosses, which were masked then, using Kabuki tape cut quickly on my Infiny cutting mat. It´s a rescue drone.



Next wase the base coloring, sprayed in Tamiya XF khaki. The other parts got different metal shades all from the Extreme metallic range. The exhausts were sprayed with dark exhaust color, the spindly arms with titanium, the drum like anti-grav unit in duraluminum and finally the lower body in gun metal.



Cheers Rob

Today, I finished the basic setting. The main components of the Neuspotter were airbrushed with chalky white color (washable  white) and then weathered with a stiff brush, but only slightly, as the rescue drone didn´t suffer that much. This was followed by a DAK wash with pigments, dotted onto the white color.
After drying and manipulating a bit with a flat brush, I assembled the main components of the Neuspotter and added some wires and coils to arms and "body".

Then I threaded the drone on it´s mount and the angle, it was hovering was like I desired. The backrest of the deceased pilots Kampfanzug was made from two lava stones from my garden. I liked the bubbly appearance, as it looks a bit strange.
Next, I have to add the various bits and pieces, like water bottles, weapons, helmet, etc. and design the dio with sand baste and sand.

















Cheers Rob

Cool Rob! I see those psychedelic times maybe of  our youth are returning?imagination is running rampant...Nice!

[Martinnfb]

Oh, what a nice twist to the story. Really imaginative work Doc. . Must be fun to fool around with ideas, without limitation or preconceived notions.

Cheers

Cool looking scene, Rob. Unfortunately, it looks like the Neuspotter arrived a few years too late …

Emergencies in the MK world look a lot worse than in our modern times, if that was ever possible …
