So I recently got into the world of RC toy kitbashing. I've wanted to do something like this for quite a while and last year i took my first step by modding a hexbug spider into a little walking tank (ambulatory listening station 17).
Anyway it seems this is an addictive habit, and I soon discovered the hexbug XL (twice as big and three times as stompy!) and had to mod one.
So to that end here's the battleship Nautilus, a walking lighthouse turned into a monster of rusted metal, machine guns and grime!

And here's the video of nautilus stomping around!

(there's also a video on there of my earlier creation having a scuttle around.)
I built the nautilus after completing a commission model of the HMS beagle, so it's full of little ship fittings and bits.the main hull is just cardboard packaging covered in plaster wall filler with bits of plastic/metal/junk stuck on.
anyway, I've got plans for something else soon, something bigger...
-
Found some WIP images on my computer showing the makeup of the nautilus.
as you can see, just junk and superglue!

These are so cool - I'm inspired to go and make some 6mm versions!
-
bloody hell!
That's unexpected, and +1 extra cool
Are you thinking of anything else ambulatory RC based stuff?

I am - I'm trying to get my hands on either a bigtak or a very large RC tank for ...nothing, no real reason, certainly not a mobile town with its own airstrip for micro drones modeled as jet-bikes... that'd be insane.

Love ‘em 8)
-
This insanely good! :o :o
-
Jehovah's beard! Just … so so superb.
-
Wow! Great fun,love it :-*
-
Those are fantastic! The fact that it’s great modelling with the added bonus of mobility is brilliant.
-
That's some great and original work. Fantastic!
-
You have done a cracking job on those!

Happy you all enjoy them! I've just ordered something truly HUGE from ebay for another mechanical monster and I'm really excited for it.It's gonna be big!
-
Something big dropped through the letterbox today! A vex robotic scarab kit - a 6 legged beast of a robot! this thing is HUGE and ihave plans to go full mortal engines on it with houses, gun batteries and all manner of detailing to turn it into a walking village.
Here's a leg of this monster next to the smaller hexbug conversion.

And here it is fully built after half an hour on the floor, with a mk1 rhino for scale.
(https://i.imgur.com/5TtxRTB.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/7y1W4tT.jpg)
The other two walkers grew about double their original size once i started adding bits to them, so this might actually end up too big for any of my shelves...
-
I built a new one!
This one was a really quick build, Done in the evening and painted in the morning - he was made as a birthday present for a family member.
This one has no model kit parts, Just old packaging, styrene rod and bits of pencil sharpener and pen insides on top of a hexbug spider.

And the obligatory youtube video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn-kT61LpKc&feature=youtu.be
I really like the way this one came out - So much so that I almost kept it for myself.I'll likely build another using the same shapes.
-
Dear God, I think I am in stompy bot love. :o
I had never thought of this, but now I definitely am, and considering how to have a game with these! What a showstopper of a convention game this would make! (When we're allowed such gatherings once more, that is.)
Dammit, sir! Don't you know I have too many projects already?!?!? ;D

I'd really love to run a small convention game using these. There's a set you can buy of two of the walkers fitted with infared lasers, that allows them to shoot at and deactivate each other. Perhaps two of them suitably modified and placed into a scale model city would be a good way to do it?
-
Go for it.
Most original thing I've seen on here for a while.
:)
-
Absolutely loving these.
-
AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to see the scarab town :-*
-
*Sigh* I really do enjoy all these posts, great work again. For me the weathering really take these a step further. Would you consider a crude step by step during one of these builds some time? Doesn't even need to be that in depth but I would be interested in the 'ingredients' and methods.
I have a holiday coming up, I'll be reading your original rulesets then probably picking up the death machine sone too :)
-
Fantastic!
-
Okay, Those are pretty awesome! :o
-
These robots are the coolest thing I've seen here in a while. And there is a LOT of cool stuff on this site!

Hmm... the smallest of the Hexbug spiders are easily available down here in Australia, but no sign at all of the bigger 'XL' nor the even bigger 'Vex Robotics' spider. :'(
I find them all over ebay from the US, but flinch at the $60 shipping plus ebay's 'import fee' that no-one else charges for sales to Oz... >:(
That's a real pity, because a big part of the appeal of this would be the variation in sizes / classes you could field; destroyer, cruiser and battleship, essentially.
I was even tempted to sculpt some 3D turrets and modules to print and drop on to make mini variations of the 'Codename: Colossus' Cyclops:

It seems hexbug no longere make some of their larger robots.I managed to get my two XL's and my VEX scarab from ebay very cheaply, So perhaps that's the way to go? Alternatively you could look at some other makers of similar bots, I'm sure there's bound to be a chinese company making rip off hexbugs.

It's the postage to Australia via Ebay that's killing my enthusiasm, I fear. For example, I found an XL Spider for AU$10, but postage would smack me for another $60! o_o
Anyway, enough of my southern hemispherite grumbling; hope we'll be seeing more of your great conversions soon!

I feel your pain to a certain extent - many of the more interesting bugs were US only releases so postage to the UK is quite bad - sometimes £50 for a £5 toy.
Still, the occasional bit of digging has bagged me a few extra XLs to be going on with.
I've got another on the workbench - A challenge between myself and a friend to build a walking pub, and He's way ahead of me so i best get working!
-
Very cool. Great work on all of those. I use vex wheeled robotics with my class to teach some basic coding. Fun and easy to use. I've never seen a spider version (Probably because I'm down in the southern hemispehere too). More pictures please. I love these, kind of like Mortal Engines meet Howl's Moving Castle.
-
These are great.
I really want to see them fight each other. Turn all the hexbugs on and throw them into a big arena. Like a miniature botwar!
Really good looking stuff!
-
Really glad you all like em!
So I've started another expansion for Planet 28 , my homebrew rule system (which I should probably stop referring to as a homebrew now that it's been published.)
It's gonna focus on the world that these mechs exist in, one of nomadic mech families and walking villages - A sort of studio ghibli/mortal engines world of sweeping landscapes and occasional clashes between mech pirates.
I'd like to add not just some rules for planet 28 , but also a little system for having games just between the mechs using the actual remote control factor.
Right now it's just a teaser image, but more soon.
(https://i.imgur.com/ayN3lkN.png)

Yeah, these do demand their own game system.
-
Very good! And I have to agree with what has been said before, very unique and inventive!

"what do you men rusted through?! Sure it's a bit rough, but we just dug him up two days ago from out on the grass sea. Look, the lads have already started marking him up for refit and you won't find a cheaper merchant than me this side of the mountains. Maybe he's a little bit battered but he is 1,000 years old - you've gotta have a home in this world and you won't find better than old caeser here! "
I liked the shape of the last one so much that I decided to make another - Although this time much more grimy and battered than the last.
I've also improved the battery access by adding a small hatch held on with a simple spring.

In my head this chap has just been dredged up after long years underground, and is being worked over by some wasteland engineers - hence the engineers marks across the hull.
-
Damn... :o
I mean, no, actually, but yes, and very, that is...
DAMN...
I'm building an army of these now, aren't I??? o_o
-
Simply wonderful work, all of it. :-*
But this last one reminds me strongly of World War Robot, and I love it. It's my favourite one of the bunch so far! 8)
The engineer's marks are a subtle, but very interesting and convincing detail too; they really tell a story.
Please keep them coming; I love this thread... :)

Gosh I haven't thought about world war robot for a while, I'd completley forgotten it! Which is a shame because i could have been stealing ideas from it this whole time! :D
-
Those are great! My son has those smaller Hexbug walkers. Makes me want to get my fingers on them!
-
They're great Nic, and the 'Great grass sea' is finally a decent justification for sci fi walkers!
-
I got a new studio recently and while i wait for materials to be delivered for me to do proper work, I have been tinkering with more bots...
I've got this chap half done, another one ready to go, and the giant bot sat on the shelf...
(https://i.imgur.com/lsHV91k.jpg)
-
Great work all around. Love the weathering and obviously the fact that they are RC. The convention idea to having two of them going at each other in a city scape is great, too!
-
A little more progress- some detailing, a dock with hooks for the rowboat and the start of some detailing - tomorrow the final bits of detail and body work, some texture, and then a prime.

Another spider mod -
Again, fully functional remote control, but this time I've gone a bit wild with the shapes to try and make something unique.
This one was very much inspired by sea mines and lunar landers, so it's got a bit of an ominous "might explode, might be someones house" kind of look to it.
Oh also this one is for sale if you fancy getting someone a one of a kind christmas present ;)

construction is mostly plasticard, milliput, ping pong balls and my usual collection of model ship parts and odds and ends. (no warhammer bits on this one tho - trying to distance them from the grim dark future.)
paintjob is my usual simple approach,speckle with wood filler for texture, a rust basecoat over bright primer, then chipping medium, a few base colours, chipping, details and weathering.
If you do want it, It's for sale here https://mammoth-miniatures.onlineweb.shop/product_preview/p6748004_20840111.aspx
Basically I love making them but I don't have enough shelf space for them and i figured they'd make fun designer toys for someone.

"Plant whisperers, botanical adventurers, crop wizards and seed merchants. Just a few names for the strange and Hardy individuals who travel the world of ramble seeking out new plants to spread across the slowly healing planet.
Wearing bring colours and carrying aloft strange new discoveries, these odd types are much loved by those who live aboard walker homes or crawler towns, bringing fresh new plant life to on board hydroponic systems or telling tales of places beyond the grass seas and frozen tundra of rambles major continent. In rough seasons these arboricultural loners will sell their expertise to crawler towns, giving them guidance to new roaming grounds. "
this chap is converted very heavily from a north star steampunk soldier miniature, to the point that he's almost entirely resculpted.
He's the first of what i hope will be many civilians/pedestrians for the world of ramble.

Did a bit of messing around with the camera and the new fort from fogou models latest kickstarter to try and set the scene a bit better.
"Static settlements are rare on ramble.The great empire that once mined this world to near death may have fallen centuries ago, But the planet is still scared and the damage runs deep.The nomadic life that many lead is one of pragmatism, moving with the seasons and living on salvage and hydroponic harvests. But as time has passed and life has once again gained a foothold, so have some sought to build homes on the ground and live off the land.These settlements are few and far between, jutting out of the swaying grass like freshly turned boulders, crowning barren hills or clinging to valley sides. They often appear primitive, a result of rambles lack of infrastructure, Architectural tradition, and the loss of many of its precious resources during its time as a mining world. Still they cling to life - some acting as trading posts for the many wandering merchant towns that cross the worlds surface, others serving as fortresses, inns, temples or repair stations.

Just found this also
I really like your builds and execution.
Keep it up

"Firearms are rare on ramble. Aside from a handful of salvaged energy weapons or the mining cannons of repurposed walker homes, most who travel the grass seas rely on simple homemade black powder weapons. Because of this, those who know how to use a rifle can find a living as hired guards or trackers. Using an old bulkhead as a helmet and carrying his trusty long rifle, this flamboyant warrior has recently partnered with a travelling seed merchant as they seek out a crawler town to spend the winter on."
This chap is converted from a GW lord of the rings mini, a bit of greenstuff, and the top of an old furniture pin.

Yes, I like that 8)

So do I. Great work mate!
-
Nice work. I like the Japanese feel to his clothing
-
Amazing work! I'm dying to see your progress on the walking village.
Also, I'm restraining myself from searching for hex bugs on eBay because I already have too many projects!
-
My willpower failed and I bought a couple of hexbugs, as I can see the potential of these for a project I've had lurking at the back of my head for ages.
Do you have any hints and tips for converting these and painting the bug (as opposed to the stuff you build on top)?
-
What a fantastic thread!

Excellent, that means I don't have to say "Go on, you know you want too!"
I tend to take the entire top of the body off, use a dremel to cut the battery holder out so that's floating and can be glued to whatever i build the new body from.
As for painting,Just spray primer - Poundland grey car primer is good. spray the bug with it turned on, then just sit and play with it while it dries so that all the joints are moving.this seems to stop the paint from clogging anything.haven't had any major issues yet, so that's my best tip.
as for what you put on top - aerosol lids,plastic packaging, novely pencil sharpeners - you preferably want hollow things to keep the centre of gravity low. adding some washers to the inner body as low down as possible can also help - i have since done that to the nautilus for safety as people like to play with the robots when they visit. lol
-
I realized I never put up a video of the walking mine - so here it is.

I've also been developing the world of ramble a bit more, trying to get across the kind of post-post-apocalyptic/romantic landscape vibe i'm going for.
(https://i.imgur.com/dxpptZN.jpg)
this is a world that was mined to the crust in order to fuel a now long gone empire - the people left are the descendants of those miners and workers who were left behind, not that they know that. the world has been regrowing over the last few centuries - slowly. although it's now a world of great grass tundras and rugged highlands, it's still fragile - the world is not strong enough to support large settlements yet, so people make their homes in the old mining walkers that once swarmed over the planets surface like lice. these walkers, hermetically sealed and powered by hot air engines that can run simple on the body heat of their pilot, can be found buried across the planet - lined up in neat rows in moss covered workshops, alone and overgrown in the grass sea like great steel burial mounds.
-
That fluff has a lot of potential 8)

The power source is a brilliant idea, although I wonder if it is even possible. I get a strong Miyazaki vibe from the setting, and the theme of an exploited world slowly recovering.
Are there aircraft in Ramble?

I was thinking small balloons and maybe powered gliders.
But I do have a small rc drone sitting disassembled on the workbench...

Hmm, powered gliders bring Nausicca to mind... no bad thing.
Have you sketched out a map of the world yet?
Also, I spent the commute to work this morning trying to decide the best way to model seas of grass... I think I foresee teddybear fur and a lot of hairspray in my future...
-
For some reason, I image seas of grass but hard, rock outcroppings sticking up all over. I actually imagine a very craggy landscape as "islands" in a sea of tall grass. Like a Rock Savannah.
In game terms that also gives some hard cover and a reason for your Rigs to maneuver around a bit.

Teddybear fur is my go to.
I need to put together a map, Maybe several cus I imagine the residents of ramble have no conclusive model the world, and each home has their own maps.
In terms of the landscape, I imagine amix between the Scottish highlands, yorkshire moores, the lake district, northern arctic tundra and the american great planes. As you head south you each a more broken coast line made up of smaller islands - more rocky with shallow seas between, like an entire coastline of small japans.
there are certainly moutains and rocky hills, they tend to be where static settlements or stop off locations are built.
At the very north are the reamins of the only pre collapse settlement, A vast city of tenements and storage areas built for the miners centuries ago.it's mostly buried now but if you're careful you can still find neat stuff around.
-
That provides food for thought. I'm rather enamoured with the image of the Rig 'fleets' of two city-states / coalitions of the plains facing off in a confrontation. Such forces are probably quite small in reality; a few dozen Rigs at most, with little or no standardisation of design.
Towards that end, I've finally buckled, and just bought one of the big VEX Spiders to be the basis for one fleet's 'Rig Battleship'.
(I found my selection of acrylic Xmas baubles, so that put paid to excuses for not building a Rig!) :D
(https://d1jqecz1iy566e.cloudfront.net/detail/hex063/2.jpg)
I'm also tempted to model a walking village or at least a homestead, as a centrepiece. Although I think it'll have to be a static model. Lasercut legs and other bits should do the job.
Easy E - I like that image of the rocky outcrops. As you say, adds cover and reason to maneuver.
Mammoth - I'd love to contribute to the creation of this world. PM me if you'd be interested in having me draw up a map or maps to your specifications. I'm an old hand at that sort of stuff. Here's a slightly silly map I made of my Lego-themed Imagi-nation, just as an example:

thanks to it being mentioned in this thread I have started a few maps - A rough world map for a kind of gods eye view and a few more local navigation maps with things like small townships, settlements etc.

I've now stripped down a standard Hexbug spider and am in the process of adding the main body section, from which I can then build out. I might get round to more work on it over the next few days before Christmas.

Do you ever start building something and thing "you know what, this might actually be TOO big."
Cus this one is so big that I've had to move it to the studio since my home desk just doesn't have the space.

My walker is taking shape. I'm thinking of it belonging to a 'rust miner' scavenger family, hunting for valuable items amidst ancient mining installations.

The inspirational concept that is ramble has helped me to rediscover my modelling mojo in lockdown. This is a WIP shot my first walker, Centaur, home to a family of 'rust miner' scavengers.

Now I just need to tidy up the model and do a bit of greenstuff work before thinking up a suitable paint scheme.
