Hello!
After a long period of inactivity on the forums due to several things, I´m back again.
Since I recently got a new job I also got access to a pretty neat model shop, including a CNC mill, I figured this would be a time as good as ever to start one of my long-time planned projects.
I actually initially planned to make a full-scale statue but "luckily" decided to start out small.
I'm a big fan of sixth scale collectibles, as well of the Bioshock franchise, so what could be better than to combine the two? A fully posable Bouncer in sixth scale![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
All of the models are based on the Burial at Sea version of the Bouncer wich has a few differences from the original, for better or for worse.
A big thank you to ArmachamCorp over at DeviantArt for the model: http://armachamcorp.deviantart.com/art/BioShock-Infinite-Burial-at-Sea-Bouncer-415494530
Modeling is done in Autodesk Alias and then finished in SolidWorks.
The idea is to print and mill the parts and then cold-cast them in bronze and iron to make them more believeable. The diving suit will be made out of some kind of cotton fabric and the figure will feature a posable left hand with a glove made of either rubber or cotton depending on how skilled I am at sewing![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

This is what i initially had to work with, mirrored for some reason

Nearly finished, minus a few details (yes I know the tanks are still mirrored incorrecly)
Currently, this is how far I've made it:

Most of the inner workings are pretty much figured out.
They will be a combination of custom parts and lego joints![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I also have placed a Shapeways order on the drill, helmet and some other doodads.
The main hardsiut has to wait until next salary though...
I will try to keep a consistent flow of updates on this, hopefully it will be interesting![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
