Prometheus Rising Studios   Ben Mininberg's models, toy customs, and design work.

For the Heavy Industries line’s debut at FOE, I wanted to run the range of finishes, so I needed a mostly clean 1/12 Bounce Tortoise in something other than green or military drab.  A quick look at my shelves revealed the perfect color combination from one of my favorite franchises, Macross.  Funky test-type tan and orange combines mecha legitimacy with sci-fi weirdness in just the right way.  The Ostrich version Bounce Tortoise is on display and for sale at FOE Gallery’s Rise of the Robots Show.

This guy is probably my favorite of the first batch of Prometheus Rising Heavy Industry figures.  I am really happy with how the decals and light weathering look against the lighter colors and how the figure manages to feel bright and colorful while still being matte, gritty, and realistic.
