They’re using a technique called kitbashing, which means the models you’re about to see are built from the parts of other off-the-shelf models ranging from planes, trains, cars, tanks, boats, etc.

If you look closely at some of these, you will see recognizable parts of submarines and tank turrets. Part of me wishes that we used less CG in movies today, and went back to the roots!

Movies were first introduced and shared with the masses in late 19th century, and since then it has captured the attention of millions of audiences. We are totally accustomed of these films which are full of classic hits, drama, action, thrill and romance. But there is a whole different world behind these scenes. Scenes of great and successful movies dissolve us within them and we forget that it is actually a movie and the sights we see might actually be Hollywood sets. This amazing and unbelievable effect is simply achieved by all that goes on behind the camera, between the scenes. Here we showcase some of the most interesting and amazing behind-the-scenes shots taken from popular films.

The kit does have one major flaw though, THE LEGS and MAIN BODY ARE NOT THE SAME SCALE ! The legs are set too close together; if this model were to walk, it would trip up over its own feet ! There are 3 ways you can tackle this problem: Modify by putting spacers between the drive motors and the hip joints, photograph and display from canny angles so the problem doesn't show (i.e. cheat!) I put a lot of effort into correcting the kit, as follows: Head To give the head strength and stability, I put layers of Milliput along all the joins inside the head. The chin guns need a lot more work; they are very inaccurate and clear reference pictures are hard to find.

The HAFS Goblin is a Mercenary Heavy Armored Fighting Suit developed on the HAFS Jerry chassis. A new torso/hull was developed which incorporated the armor protection and indirect sighting advantages of the SAFS. 2x three tube missile launchers in armored housings are located on either side of the hull. There is no additional armament. This scene depicts a Goblin in the Rocky Mountain region during the Mercenary counterattacks against SDR bases on the North American continent. The first fields test for the Goblin occur on December 31, 2885. So this diorama depicts a mechanic making adjustments to the hydraulics in a field shop shortly after the initial production makes its combat debut .

The Goblin in this diorama is a repaint of a scratchbuild I finished a number of years ago but was never happy with the finish. The figure is from the Hasegawa 1/20 Mechanic Figure Set #1.
