My attempt at a Dominator tripod.
1) Used a veteran tripod kit; 2) extended the mid section with a one inch wood cube and placing extra bits to provide definition. The green gas balls make nice little Martian style batteries or fuel cells. About a 1/2 head taller than standard assault tripod. 3) instead of rocket pod thought a quad rail gun or laser weapon carried on an additional arm would be more to Martian form. Made from extra black dust launcher parts. Not sure about the big green crystal as the targeting eye. May replace that.

nice look - the green crystal allows it to target like a scout, including vs any aircraft attack (AA fire). Just a thought.

Very nice. Excellent use of leftover parts to kitbash this tripod. I'm inspired.

Very nice Dominator. The jewels for lenses are a nice touch and I like the alternative weapon design.

. Thanks. But this machine followed the "Scott Washburn Rule" ; any new miniature does not survive its first table top battle. |

I'm going to try to duplicate the black Dominator that appears in the Foss Landing battle photos. The first step is to copy the midsection using a number of washers of different diameters and thicknesses, then take a mold and cast the midsection in resin. I'm still thinking about how to make a missile launcher. I might use spare parts from Black Dust launchers as you did.
