Title: 18mm 3D Printed FKMSA Destroyer Robots by Papsikels
Post by: zrunelord on August 09, 2025, 11:26:35 AM

Hello again all,
Another kitbashed set of robots ... you can never have enough robots !!!

I gave them 4 arms so as to be formidable killer robots.
A bit delicate at 18mm so make sure that arms & ankles are shored up.
I used steel needles ( 0.7mm D) to fix arms in place as they were breaking off.

Human figure is an 18mm one for scale.

From here https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-fkmsa-battled-droid-destroyer-unit-a-181582

The bases are made up of the grid rafts used in 3D printing, so do not throw them away. As always reduce, reuse & recycle.

The rust is real rust. Was cleaning some rusted metal parts with white vinegar & noticed that the residue
would be great to use as rust ( it is rust after all 😉). It comes quite nice when dry.

Can be coloured & diluted for any effect one desires as the normal white vinegar bought in supermarkets is mild & mostly water ( just check the percentage on the bottle ).
Keep in mind it is still acidic, though , you DO NOT want to splash it in your eye.

Those would work great for a gaming idea I have, surveyors surveying a plant and trigger a war machine that was designed to destroy their creator's enemies, in turn destroyed everyone on the planet, the survey team is hunted by these robots.

Indeed they would WM.
Now that is a good idea for a setting.
It would be a tough job for them to elude the hunter killer robots.

I would assume they would be fast since they have 3 legs & 4 arms and the survey team have to be faster !!!  :o

Pity that the models would be very fiddly to print smaller, so that one can do swarms of them ( imagine death by a 100 cuts )
Unless they can be kitbashed as a swarm. Another project idea.
