I know someone has done a small run (of 2 or 3) of these before. What kind of price would something like this command to make it worth the builders time?

 

[Hunterdnrc]

I'll speak for my dad here because I've talked to him quite a bit about potentially selling them; the jist is that this was really a one of a kind, there isn't a template or anything, and a lot of the parts were things he had laying around. That being said, if someone was hypothetically buying one, it'd have to be done from scratch to specifications set by the buyer. And that wouldn't be cheap, probably 1K+. It's all done from hand and this took quite a bit of time to put everything together.

Looks like a $1k worth of work and craftsmanship.

Just saw this beauty at Joe Con in the customs section:

 

[MANDO]

That is a pretty monumental piece. I dig the personal touches a lot! Very cool!

 

[Niltusk]

............and Sideshow can't even give us a JUMP jetpack?!?!?

 

[Davestro]

Are the treads on the tank those little sensors you get inside DVDs that need to be de-magnetized to not set off alarms in the store?

Thanks again for the compliments. For those who weren't there, I was lucky enough to win 1st for Medium Diorama at JoeCon 2014. The $150 prize helps pay me back for all of the materials As for the treads, I handmade 3 of the links. I carved the large portion out of wood and the top rectangle is cut from card board. I glued the tops and bottoms together, then I made a mold and cast the ones you see on the tank. It took me quite a while casting 3 links at a time.
