I've been on a bit of a Transformers kick lately and decided to see if I could translate a painting of the planet Cybertron into real life.
And this was my result.
The planet itself is 12" in diameter. The main body and larger buildings are hand sculpted with the smaller buildings being filled in with kit bashed details.
I rotocast the main hull in cold-cast stainless steel and inlaid the city sections in pressure cast clear resin that had been painted and detailed. An aluminum dome is underneath to act as a heat sink for the LED strips that cover it.
The display stand is simply a black acrylic box outfitted with fiber optic stars set on a twinkle circuit.
