Steampunk Military Kinder-Mech Model

KaPvw88DDoU 

Reader Ricco created a wonderful little Steampunk inspired model from the most humble of objects – a Kinder-Egg plastic capsule, and a selection of straws.  While I may have no more information on this very charming and exceptionally well made kitbash, it seems to me to look like it was created in an alternative, late Steampunk/early Dieselpunk world for military purposes.

But no matter the backstory, to see this come from a simple plastic capsule, and to end up with such a character filled model, complete with wooden base, is most impressive indeed.  Well done, Ricco – perhaps if you happen by you’ll let us know more about your methods and the backstory of this machine?

  • I've never given this a try, but I think it's about time I do.

    Looks a bit like Maschinen Krieger or SF3D.

    What's with the red star? It reminds me of the Soviet Union.

    Hmmm, looks like a miniature Big Daddy from the game Bioshock.
    Lots of the designs from the game are here:

    p.s.(I have fond memories when the best toys inside Kinder Egss were the metal toy soldiers)

    Big Daddy has a brother...?
  • Solus
    Incredible how this is made out of a Kinder egg, to bad the surprises inside are not as well made

    Sorry - there's something deeply upset with embedding videos at the moment - I'll put a link in in the meantime, but there really ought to be a video of it!
