Quirtra Queramitzuu: Kamikaze Space Cucumber

My pleasure! As you can see, there's just no way that these ultra-fine antennae could have been cast successfully, and the procedure involved in doing them yourself is pretty easy and actually rather fun. The other reason that I chose that particular technique is that you can get really organic looking spines that are a perfect look for Zentradi ships. Prickly cucumbers are da best!! ^_^

I'll have to keep that on file for my old Imai kits as well. I've got some sprue left over from them, but have lost a couple of antennae over the years. Thanks, John!

Hi guys.

I wanted to give notice that I'll be keeping the Quelamitz project open until November 1st, so for exactly 1 more week. After that, I'm shutting it down and will begin feasibility studies for the Legioss. So if you really want a Kozmic Kucumber, you've got a week to get your order in ^_^

I would like to order one. I sent you a pm to get the info to send payment. I'm just waiting for a response.

Hi Atoyer. You'll forgive me if I respectfully decline to do business with someone whom I don't know and has but a single post to his tally. In this line of work, one survives by taking all possible precautions.

Yea, no problem. I usually get your kits through SSM anyway. Thanks for not leaving me hanging.

I've been fooling around making laser canons from sprues since you posted that little trick. Pretty awesome. ~Edit~ Yeah, I missed the great link in the initial post. Mine's in primer atm too but I needed some color inspiration. Looking at the Kamjin vaiant covered in moss/crud I wish I had bought a second, I may have to really scuzzy mine up, because, well, It's Kamjin :)

Here is the green paint. I used Forest Green.

The sprue antennae was no problem. The only problem was it has been a while since I used sprue like this so I had to get the feel again. I made a small pile so I have plenty to chose from.

I have been thinking the same thing Ghadrack. I was thinking about trying it first on a 1/2500 Salan Scout.

Heh, you better not store that space cucumber in the pickle jar you have next to it. It might shrivel up into a scout ship! :p

(lame joke I know but I couldn't resist! :rolleyes: )

That color looks just right. Keep up the good work. It'll be great to see it completed.

I agree. It is a lame joke. :lol:

Here are some more progress pictures. These will be the last until Monday with Thanksgiving tomorrow and family coming into town. Have a happy turkey day!
