Chop Shop: Ogre 1 Conversion Symmetry

Symmetry is a thing. One that castings made from sculpts were more of a suggestion, rather than something strictly adhered to. My Ral Partha original Mk5 is mostly symmetrical.


Converting it into a facsimile (word of the week) of a Martian Metals Ogre questions what symmetry means when the originals were anything but symmetrical. So, I took a picture from the front, and then split and mirrored each side, which can be seen below.

As can be seen, I haven't quite got both sides the same. So there's more work ahead.

Catch you on the bounce.
