Steampunk Cyclomaton Mk II

[AJLaFleche]

Here is Smart Max’s resin Cyclomaton Mk II in 1/35 scale.
According to their website, “Following the explosion of the protoplasmic capacitor and the lynching of several members of the Mekazylum, most Steamlords have felt the need for a dissuasive personal support. Heavily armed and very mobile, Cyclomatons reliably fulfil that purpose. At least as long as the parameters of their mission are not too numerous. Thus, Cyclomatons love simplicity – in a very mechanical way, of course -, so make sure they never regard you as « superfluous data » !”

Kit is built oob with a Plus Models dead rat in the street.

Very cool AJ!

How was the assembly ?

Thanks, Gordy.
The kit only consisted of 8 main parts plus the wing nuts on the wheels. Front wheel, fork, head, gun, engine/exhaust, air filter, frame/rear wheel, base. There was an extra wing nut of a sprue, a nice touch for such small parts. Aligning the part with the air filter to the stem which also holds the head was the only challenge, and quite minor at that. I drilled a tiny hole in the front tire and used a piece or wire to stabilize the kit to the base. I drilled out the barrels on the Gatling gun, too. The kit, including the resin base, is about as tall as a La Meridian 54mm figure.
