This is an entry to the Pimp Daddy Destro My Ride Custom Contest: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...m-contest.html
I've just copied my post there here: You're getting very sleepyyyy.... I present Crystal Ball's MESMERON (AKA B.A.L.L.S. [Ballistic Armaments Light Lullification System])... The Mesmeron is Crystal Ball's Cerebro (That big sphere Professor X sits in). It amplifies his range and power and when used on the battlefield can entrance legions not wearing cranial protection. The vehicle allows lift off of Crystal Ball's ball when not tethered and goes into alternate mode with double barrelled terror. I was not particularly fond of this character to begin with but I did appreciate his ridiculousness in the Joe realm and thought he needed a vehicle. My version of the character is a mix between Lara Hama's unreleased file card (where I got the vehicles name) as it appears in 'The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 2nd Edition' by Mark Bellomo and the file card that saw wide release. The vehicle is mostly comprised of a Blockbuster and a hamster ball but I used parts from a few other vehicles and scratch built a ton. I also wanted a severely weathered look which I may have overdone a bit but with a wash of rust and a wash of black/grey I got what I was looking for. I also added some LEDs in the turret to light up the Ball which turned out pretty well. Now for some pics: That crazy Crystal Ball trying to sell his latest best seller. Some detail pics. Eat it Duke. More detail pics. LEDs activate. A WIP base for when the vehicle is in alternate mode. Some WIPs to get an idea of how this was pieced together. Special thanks for putting on the contest guys because I can guarandamntee you I would have never made this without it! |
