1:6 Indy Mine Cart

[ScratchBuilder]

Holy cow, have just found that CultTVman have a few copies left of the very rare & sort after SCi-Fi & Fantasy Modeller magazine that Pete and me have been featured numerous times. I thought they were long sold out.

A great trip down memory lane and I can remember going through these with the editor Mike some years ago.
Each article takes you through the processes used during a couple my builds from start to finish (all skilfully hand crafted, no purchased 3d model files or 3d printed stuff allowed )

And then onto how Pete artistically recreates realistic textures, paint and weathering to create our extremely realistic and movie accurate.

PS, I am making a small run of Indy carts some are already spoken for but may have a couple going spare. Drop me an email if your interested.

The new run of Indy carts are taking shape, a slow build as I'm casting the bits between the 1/6th Speeder build.



First rolling chassis dry fitted for quality control and I'm really pleased with the quality so far as if it isn't perfect it gets binned.

Also used a some spare resin to cast one of the hand sculpted timber sleeper:



I'm always amazed at how much detail resin casting recreates compared to CNC or 3d printing.

Its nice to see you still offering these. More happy collectors to follow. I'm fairly sure your becoming all minecarted out by now!

Think we only made about 20 or so and it's been so long since I made the last run I've forgotten what goes where
Just a few more lovingly handcrafted mine carts won't cause too much trouble and will make a nice change it's a shame I can't just bash 100s of them out on my CNC.

Looks like this small run are now all spoken for.
Got lots of one-off commissions to get complete (along with quite a few 1/12 dios) after the Landspeeder so will pick this up very soon.

Just watched TOD today. Can’t wait for this. It’s like the speeder bike scene in ROTJ or something. Love the scene where Indy punches as nothing — almost seems like a planned blooper.

that is a great scene, there are plans to create a mine backdrop in 1/6th (similar to our smaller scale Indy mine)

If only there was a Willy & Short Round in 1/6th

Hey Jas, know you’ve got tons of projects going on but curious if this one is still in the mix or if it’ll be after the landspeeder.

Hi Bud, which scale 1/6th or 1/18 mate?

The 1/6 — I know you were planning on doing a couple more I believe.

I think I've got most of the parts cast for 3 or 4 1:6 carts.

Out of interest...... painted, unpainted or I could possibly do an unpainted kit?

PM set on an unpainted 1/6 kit.

Painted for sure. Needs to match the quality of the landspeeder.

 

[ScratchBuilder]

Thanks for all the PMs chaps.

I'll have a look over the weekend and see what I have in stock and start to get things boxed up.
I'll need to get some instructions done as they are a pretty complex build and not for the complete novice.

Another Indy Cart ready for texturing, painting and weathering and will be shipped later this week.

This one is destined for Scotland:








These are the very first upgraded lamps printed on my resin printer and very pleased with the result


I've got so many more Indy builds planned I just need the time.

 

[ScratchBuilder]

Sorry guys, this slipped off my radar as I've been super busy with getting the Landspeeder and Mustafar builds complete.
I'll pick it up again and be in touch.

The minecart is amazing. The attention to detail is second to none.

I just need to put together another Short Round to sit in it with Indy.

Thanks for the update. Still very much looking forward to this along with the landspeeder.
