Oscar Koveleski, August 2003</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365198434811540270.post-57788917096607326912022-11-06T18:58:00.008-05:002022-11-06T23:19:26.317-05:00X-Plus 1/8th scale Maschinenmensch - Metropolis
<p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After 8 months on pre-order, I
received X-Plus’s <i>Maschinenmensch</i>
from Fritz Lang’s silent classic, <b><i>Metropolis </i></b>(1927), this week.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Maschinenmensch</i> was one of the
first, and perhaps most iconic fictional robots ever depicted in cinema, and
went on to be one of the primary influences of robotic design in feature film. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The ⅛ scale model features the gynoid 'Maria' arguably in ‘her’ most iconic
pose, posed before the chair/ ‘throne’ that 'she' recently occupied: the latter
serves as an appropriately thematic base for the model. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though it is marketed as a "glue-together" kit, the snap-together
design of the core kit is plainly evi- dent. Interestingly, no mention or allusion
to a no-glue finish is anywhere to be found in the instruc- tions, etc. This is a ‘hybrid’ kit, with some
subassemblies glue-based, but with the figure itself being primarily a "snap-fit"
assembly. Having said that, <u><i>extensive</i></u> dry-fitting and dry-assembly is a pre-requisite to
the application of glue.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The kit is cast in injection-molded gold (figure) and light grey (display
setting) polystyrene. The polystyrene is excellent: better-than-average heat
resistance, though somewhat brittle and ‘layered’. Overall fit is G+ to
VG+: the underlying 'mannequin sub-figure’ fit is not as precise as it might be; but that of the
armour defining the kit is near-excellent! Overall, I would have to grade this
kit as a solid "B+". </span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The instruction sheet, one sheet, 2 pages, is very good, and would be welcome--and appreciated!--by anyone with even moderate plastic figure experience. </span></span></p><p>Before closing, I have just found out that there will be a second <i><b>Metropolis</b></i> offering from X-Plus: a <i><u>seated</u> </i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Maschinenmensch</i></span></span>! It is scheduled for release in 2023, and I will be placing my pre-order as soon as it is announced!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlrvpqwDT8ZUBOrZDiH6Rak5QoLon-zSp7UniHPvy5rIl6DFdhD4iQL-__fkHbrT-ma6bfu3Q1y1rW1OkBWe_lJ4eVKHd9aj06CpWkV8xhQjf-kRYsy8Gcq7VUZeakRpHLN_eCVpETuHLPW1G7jUVojzIOG2V9M7DVvFshTm11QvlzxJpt1D_WlwFNQ/s497/AMFpic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="497" data-original-width="495" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlrvpqwDT8ZUBOrZDiH6Rak5QoLon-zSp7UniHPvy5rIl6DFdhD4iQL-__fkHbrT-ma6bfu3Q1y1rW1OkBWe_lJ4eVKHd9aj06CpWkV8xhQjf-kRYsy8Gcq7VUZeakRpHLN_eCVpETuHLPW1G7jUVojzIOG2V9M7DVvFshTm11QvlzxJpt1D_WlwFNQ/w495-h496/AMFpic.jpg" width="495" /></a></div><br />The kit is now approximately 50% done.

The subject's character habitually wore three belts when fully armed: a heavier--and shorter--tunic belt; and two sword belts--I presume one of the latter was to suspend Davos' dagger; though I don't recall ever seeing him wear one without the other.</p><p>In any event, the kit provides only <i><b>two </b></i>belts: a somewhat thinner tunic belt; and the sword belt. I bring this to your attention in case you are so inclined to completely accurize the kit; I decided that the return on the time and effort that would be required was simply not worth it. If the arms had been provided as separate pieces, I would have perhaps given it further thought, but as it stands. . . no!<br /></p><p>The amount of work planned <i>and</i> underway has decidedly elevated this kit beyond that of an OOB project. . . <br /></p><p>To be continued. . . <br /></p>

The 'skinny squeezebox' shaft and the stunted vamp virtually destroys the presence of the figure. The boots will have to be resculpted <i>in toto</i>. <br /></li><li>The gorget. The outline and dimensions will have to be reassessed; followed by overall detailing. <br /></li><li>The sword and scabbard. Davos had one (two?) swords, and 2 distinct scabbards. The accessory piece provided is satisfactory/adequate for neither. This will be the most involved revision of the three.</li></ul><p>To date, work has commenced on the boots (Phase I completed) and the gorget. Once these items are done to my satisfaction, I can launch final finishing and start thinking about priming. . . The sword/scabbard will be finished while the figure is being painted.<br /></p><p>Stay tuned!</p><p>

have just finished [dry-] fitting the plackart, and for the first time there is a chromatic totality about the figure before me. Which brings me to the subject of this posting. . . </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span>The colour guide suggests a predominantly beige (cloth) and light grey (skin) colour scheme. Even if the beige is deepened and varied in tone throughout the garments, it is a rather uninspired scheme. The wights on the whole were largely blue-biased achromatic on screen, but unless we want to paint a blue-biased B&W figure, this is neither very appealing, nor will it work very well. SOOOOOO. . . it is time to do the research within the context of the source scene in the finale of Season 4 ("<i>The Children"</i>), cross-referencing Martin's description in <b><i>A Dance with Dragons</i></b>. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Given his overall state of decomposition, this is a "mid-decomp": i</span></span>t has been dead for about 6 months to 2 years. Which means he could have been originally one of two peoples: a 'wildling', or a Ranger of the Night's Watch. Since 'wildlings' are not wont to possess armour and <span style="font-size: small;"><span>prefer multi-layered furs for their garments, I settled on a Ranger. Which means that his garments--and equipment!--would have been "black".</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Note that this will be anything but an achromatic figure, as you shall soon see! </span></span>I will probably custom-mix my blacks to give myself a little more
flexibility in my tonal shades, as well as provide a more vibrant
appearance to the figure. <span style="font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Stay tuned!!</span></span><br /><br />

By the end of the weekend, the left spaulder will be permanently at- tached. </span><span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">DONE! </span></b></span><span style="font-size: small;">Thereafter, there will be but two items remaining to be attached: the plackart and the sword blade. While the plackart will be mounted prior to attaching the figure to the display base, the sword blade will be attached once the figure is completed.</span></p><span style="font-size: small;">One might say that figure is now on the home-stretch. . . far from it! The figure is now on Phase II+ of the oils--and final chromatic finishing, arguably the most difficult--and challenging!--aspect of this pro- ject. Stay tuned!!</span><br /><br />

<p>The base figure was quickly undercoated with a light, blue-tinged grey.

kit has been "de-sprued", and inspected.

inspired me to revisit its predecessor, and wallow-in some of the finest TV <b><i>ever</i></b>!</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>As those who follow this modest work-log know, I am
currently immersed in the Nuts Planet bust of Tywin Lannister. He will soon be
joined by my ongoing project of ICM’s 1/16<sup>th</sup> scale rendition of a
White Walker (<b><i>The Great Other</i></b>). This polystyrene model kit was ICM’s second
in its <b><i>GoT</i></b> series (the first was <b><i>King of the Night</i></b>, which was the
base for my <span class="MsoHyperlink"><b><i><a href="https://augiemefecit.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Night%20King">“Hardhome”
<span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">project</span></a></i></b></span>).
They released a third figure, <b><i>Wight</i></b>, which completed their
depictions of all ‘ranks’ of the Army of the Dead. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>This is the <b><i><u>least</u></i></b> impressive of the three
offerings! Skeletal warriors and a minimal number of parts (17) is never a good
combination, and this kit is no different!! This one feels like it was not only
scheduled for an immediate-future release, but that ICM felt compelled to conclude
their sub-series. This one also feels as if HBO (or someone else) may have
issued a ‘cease and desist’. . . The individual kits are no-longer available
from ICM, and they have repackaged their <b><i>GoT </i></b>series into a single 3-pack (<b><i>Army
of Ice</i></b>)—at one time a fairly common ploy to expedite the elimination of
remaining stock. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>This was also the only one of the three that does not appear
to have been designed by the talented crew at ICM. The <b><i>Wight</i></b> was obviously designed
by the brilliant sculpting team at <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://www.studiodan3d.net/portfolio-items/games-of-thrones/">Studio Dan
Digital Sculpting</a></span>, commissioned by Eaglemoss (#47 in the <b><i>GoT</i>
</b>Official Collector’s Models series), and under license from HBO. It would
appear that ICM scaled-up the Eaglemoss offering (75mm to 120mm), making minor stylistic
changes like the addition of a solleret to the left foot, and swapping the
sword for an axe. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><b><i>IF</i></b> a C&D <i>has</i> been
issued, depending on who issued it will make the stipulated figures highly
desira- ble collectibles, especially given the relatively low-cost, relatively
large scale, and the undeniably super-popular subject matter. As of now, the
figures are reasonably available; but the earlier releases are beginning to be more
difficult to find—and more expensive!</span></span></span></p>
