Industria Mechanika Sky Mark

[Panzón]

I finally finished my Sky Mark buoy. There were an awful lot of surfaces to weather.

Very nice work and excellent weathering!

I like that a very unusual subject and very well done.

Hello Mike, great paint job I wish that I could achieve the same high level as your self, was the model scratch built ? or is it a kit ? which ever it was it looks good.

Thanks for the comments, guys! Barrie, the Sky Mark is a kit from Industria Mechanika, and is based on the dystopian world of Ian McQue's digital artwork. The kit doesn't include a display base, so that is scratch-built, and I didn't care for the kit's railing, so I made my own. The kit is 1/35 scale, and the finished model is about 11" (28cm) tall.

Wow! I never would have guessed it was that big.

Hello Joe,
being an old guy I have never seen anything about this Industria Mechanika but it sounds very
interesting and looks like it may have loads of things that would make great models...is there a web site for this stuff.....if you could direct me it would save an old guy hours of trawling on the net. I am glad that you modified the kit as that makes more original and personal a very good job I just wish I could paint anywhere near as good as you.

I love it, lovely job, well done.

I think I might get one of those to go with my Waldo when I get around to building it.

I have a Waldo as well, and got the Sky Mark as kind of an introductory build. I also have started work on a similar model of my own design. Ian McQue's artwork can give one lot's of interesting ideas.

Barrie, here's a link to Industria Mechanika:

Hi Thomas thank you for the link, you saved some more time for an old guy, I have had a quick look and there are lots of interesting things this may open up a new model making fad for me thanks for the introduction to Mechanika.

It did for me. Having grown bored with the mainstream stuff Industria Mechanika’s Fish submersible kick started my mojo and I haven’t looked back since.

Hi guys,
yes this mechanika stuff has got my old blood moving again, I did start to enjoy the steam punk thing when I found out about it, and made a couple of off the wall models here are a few pics, not brilliant but my robot was published in sci fantasy modeling mag a few years ago.

regards Barrie ( the old guy who is going mechanika crazy soon )
