H.A.F.S. II
I'VE ALWAYS LIKE THE LOOK OF THE GLADIATOR. I HAVE
NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET ONE THAT I COULD AFFORD. I
FOUND THIS FAN IMAGE OF A NEW GLADIATOR ON THE WEB
AND IT REALLY INTRIGUED ME. THIS IS MY ATTEMPT TO
SCRATCHBUILD MY OWN VERSION OF THIS COOL SUIT DESIGN
THESE ARE THE BASIC PLASTIC BITS THAT I CAME UP WITH TO
MAKE MINE, A SAFS BODY, A GERMAN CHOCOLATE HOLDER
AND SOME PLASTIC EASTER EGGS HALVED. A LOT OF EXPOXY
PUTTY, SOME WOODEN PARTS AND SOME KITS LEFTOVERS.
I'LL MAKE THE LEGS OUT OF PLASTIC
HERE IS THE BODY ROUGHED OUT. LOTS OF SANDING AND PUTTY WORK LEFT TO
DO. BUT THE BASIC SHAPE IS COMING ALONG. I HAVE DECIDED THAT ON MINE I'M
GOING TO MOVE THE LEGS A LITTLE FARTHER APART AND CHANGE THEIR
LOCATION ON THE BODY.
THE ENGINE BAY AND THE BEGINNINGS OF THE ENGINE, YEAH!, ITS A ROTARY
DESIGN...NICE AND QUIET
