MOC announcement - Team Fortress 2 Sentry Gun

Post by Steve »

Hi everyone!

My latest MOC is a scale model of a level-3 sentry gun from the popular computer game Team Fortress 2 (gamesite).

Some of you may have had a chance to see it on display at it during the Ultimate Toy and Hobby Show back in April, but now I have replaced some of the stand-in parts with their intended colours.... she is complete! 8[]

It turned out to me a tough subject to photograph. Hard to get the right lighting to show off the details in the black areas, and the red is more orange than it should be, but the overall look is not lost.

On a semi-related topic, I finally broke down and signed up for a free FLICKR account yesterday.
Most of my AFOL friends assure me that's where the action is these days, so if you want to add me as a FLICKR contact please feel free.

Happy building!

Holey Moley!

I took a friend of mine's suggestion and posted the Sentry on the official TF2 Forum site, and look what happened!

It also got crosslinked to the popular Kotaku gamer's blog site, and ended up pn thier front page.

Thanks everyone who took the time to make a comment!

It's nice when an amazing moc gets the appreciation it deserves. None of the feedback or reactions on that forum surprise me at all. Your sentry is something to talk about for sure. I'll tell anyone willing to listen how sweet it is.

Kudos Steve
