EK Cosmonaut 2

#1 Post by shinchan »

Finally finished this 1/8 EK Cosmonaut from Industria Mechanika based on the art of Derek Stenning. Done mostly in acrylics and lacquers. Trickiest part was getting the wires and orbs to balance. Challenging but fun build overall.

Excellent! The orbs and cables do look extremely challenging.

Thanks, the trick was partially gluing the main cable to the back for extra support. :)

Very cool! Love the uniform.
Are the cables the ones that come with the kit or is that something you added?

Sorry for the late reply. The cables did come with the kit; they're basically floral wire. For the main cable I used black heat shrink to give it a more hose like appearance. Thanks for looking!
