I don't know how often I'll update this, but I've got a long-term diorama project I've been noodling on for... well, since the pandemic really. I'm to the stage where soon I'll need to start really committing to it and building some of the bigger dio parts. I'm wanting it to be multi-sectional, and it'll take up at least two Billy bookshelves, and be a way to display my various X-Mens and Womens along with the Haslab Sentinel (and the newer '97 one).
Anyway, on the way to all that, I've been collecting a lot of other small bit to use in various ways. One bit I really want to do is a manufacturing/repair shop where Sentinel heads are assembled and destroyed Sentinels are recycled into new mutant hunting death machines.
I found some gachapon robot skull toys that are the *perfect* size to serve as an interior skull beneath that Haslab Sentinel head. They also come with little feet and hands and other parts to make them whole toys of their own. In the final dio several of these skulls will be mounted on the wall to imply they're new and ready for further assembly, but some will be roaming around the display like cheap Sentinel sentries built from scraps to guard the base without having to commit as many resources. I've recently discovered that the Dollar Tree Final Faction toys have option part kits that use 3mm pegs (perfect for the 3mm ports on these robot heads). So I grabbed some, and started a-building.
Came up with this little monstrosity which I think of as some sort of high speed aerial drone Sentinel. I figure a coat of gunmetal paint, soem weathering, and red LEDs in the eyes and this thing will be awesome.
