1:6 scale Gonk kit

[Rustyj]

Based mostly on the Sandcrawler one, as well as some official blueprints I found online-

 

[Rustyj]

Kits are rolling of the production line- and should be shipping out soon. Balances can be paid as soon as you're ready- and you'll be on the list to ship out.

Started playing with painting techniques on this guy! Lots of fun to weather.

Nice! Dig that classic Kenner colorway

 

[Rustyj]

Thanks- that's what I was going for!- just needs some orange details-

Looks awesome. Scale is good too. You should add a little simple black antenna piece like the Kenner figure had as a little vintage nod like Sideshow does.

And was this the gonk you used as reference? Looks somewhat close in details and shape. I think it's from the Battlefront game.

Never noticed the gonks are different proportions. The sandcrawler one seems skinnier/more vertical than I remember:

That's a great shot from Battlefront- I had never seen that pic! Great reference- we must have worked from the same blue-prints

There was actually a game type (capture the droid)where the Gonk was the centre of attention. Loved that !

How good is Andy Moore's Gonk. Maybe a bit of a different take colourwise, but the modelling & painting skills are out of this world....that's a real 1/12th model !!

First run of kits will be in hand 2/7 and will ship soon after. Now's the time to get in on the run, and/or get your deposits paid!
Thanks.

What’s the best stuff for filling gaps in resin? I have some stuff i’ve used on my models but I have a feeling it won’t have the same effects on resin.

 

[Rustyj]

I use Liquitex Modeling paste from Joannes or Michaels craft stores. Hardens solid and can be sanded.

 

[D.R.37]

Any cracking issues? I’ve heard epoxy putty was less prone to cracking. Newbie to resin kits and just don’t want to invest build and paint time to any future problems.

 

[Rustyj]

Epoxy putty is pretty heavy duty and would certainly do the trick. Kit doesn't require much work- just the seem where the top and bottom halves meet.

Balance on the Gonk droid payed.

 

[Rustyj]

Kits are in hand and shipping- not too late to get on board!
