Perxion Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Welcome to this thread topic. Created exclusively to showcase the progress of my projects, models, and orders. I'm Mekanimuss and I'll be uploading images of my work in progress. Let's do this... Quote
Urashiman Posted October 9 Posted October 9 oohh - cool. Do you have a teaser or something? btw: Mekanimuss sounds like "Mechanismus", the German word for "mechanism". Is that intended? Quote
Perxion Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 Mekanimuss is a name with 3 parts, Mecha+Anim (from animation)+USS from the final part of the famous series: Macross, Orguss and Legioss (mecha from Mospeada). That is the compositional origin. Quote
Perxion Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 Update October 2025. To date, I haven't been able to find a shipping service at a reasonable price. The only one is DHL, and it costs around 70 euros. But don't despair! I'll fix it and get a reasonable price. On the other hand, I've got a vacuum box and plan to try making a plastic container. I'm leaving you a photo of the 3D-printed model in bambooLab so I can later carry out the emptying process. Also, I've already printed almost all the kits. I've also printed a 1:12 scale Lunk, a 1:12 scale Annie, and a 1:48 scale Lunk. By the way, the connectors turned out great and will be included in all orders. The boxes for packaging and some supplies for the painting part should arrive this week. FOR THE MOMENT, AND UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL NOT BE TAKING ORDERS UNTIL JANUARY 2026. I'm so sorry, but since this is a free-time job, I have to cover the orders that have already been placed. If I manage to finish them early, I'll let you know here so I can resume orders. Thank you all for your patience and trust. Mekanimuss. Quote
xwing Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Thank you for the updates! are the Link and Annie also I closed in the missile set? Quote
Perxion Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 Annie is an order for one of you. I don't remember who exactly right now, but it's an order for a Lunk + an Annie 1:12 scale both. I'm planning on creating a website to catalog all the models I have and the WIPs. There will be surprises soon, including a filament printer. Stay tuned. Quote
Morgen Black Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Mekanimuss, Thank you for the update on the Tread add-ons and the plastic form container. I look forward to my Annie and Lunk order, she looks great. I do appreciate your time and effort in this endeavor and look forward to hearing more about shipping in the future. MB Quote
Perxion Posted October 14 Author Posted October 14 Hello everyone! We have the shipping boxes and the vacuum box! Now, let's get a vacuum cleaner and try it out. This week, some Tamiya supplies should arrive so we can move on to the painting process.🤩 Quote
jenius Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Sorry if you discussed this already, but how did you make the hard point attachment pieces? Did you use a 3D scanner? Quote

No, I never said that, no one asked before. I model with a caliper, meaning I take measurements with a caliper and create a 3D model based on those measurements. Literally trial and error. Generally, these small pieces come out in one shot. But for example: I'm currently testing a new resin to print the articulated 1:48 Mospeada soldiers. And it's giving me quite a headache. It's not ready yet 🥵 soon... Quote
Perxion Posted Wednesday at 10:22 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 10:22 PM Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay in my update, but let me tell you that I've made a lot of progress and the kits are turning out great. I have some bad news: the blister pack I tried to make with the vacuum cleaner and the emptying box has failed. For now. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. The problem is this: I bought a vacuum box and the plastic sheets from Green Stuff World. It turns out the frame holding the sheets doesn't cover the entire surface of the box. So when I heat the plastic, it comes loose and it's a disaster! For now, I've put it on hold. On the other hand, some good news. I bought a magnetic metal plate that allows me to peel off the 3D printed pieces much more easily. I'm now waiting for a sheet of decals for the yellow strips on the movable cylinder (picture below). I've finished painting all the rifles and I'm applying the decals. I've also finished painting the truck. Next comes the varnishing. Let's get to the most important thing: shipping. The shipping situation to the USA has not yet been resolved. Therefore, I will not send any payment links to anyone until this problem is fixed. But don't worry, the kits will be finished and shipped to everyone. I'll try to upload updates more often. Thanks everyone! Mekanimuss Quote
Perxion Posted Saturday at 07:16 PM Author Posted Saturday at 07:16 PM Hello everyone! First piece finished from all the orders I received! Then the driver needs to be painted. This truck is part of Darrin's order. This week I'll finish the rifles gun, and then I'll move on to the missiles, which are numerous! This Lunk and Annie 1:12 scale are part of Morgen Black's order: I'll upload more photos of the rifles when they're ready, probably next weekend. Thanks and have a great weekend! Mekanimuss. Quote
Morgen Black Posted Saturday at 07:21 PM Posted Saturday at 07:21 PM @Perxion The vehicle and small Lunk looks great, nice job. Thank you for the update, it is much appreciated. Have a great weekend. MB Quote
