From AnneO' - Two Bots are Better than One (10 Points)

Why are two bots better than one?  Because two bots earns me 10 Pulp points, whereas one bot would only earn me five.


These two bots were speed paints, which is something I've never done before. But with the Slump Monster lurking about, I had to act fast. Therefor I slammed these two out in one hour and didn't give a fig about how they turned out.

They are from Bombshell Miniatures, stand at 28mm and were sculpted by Patrick Keith.








As you've probably noticed the second bot is missing a hand. I suspect that Kitty Fang knocked it off the painting table. It's too cold for her to go out of doors so she is inside drinking my paint water, laying on my brush mat and generally making a nuisance of herself.

These figures are worth 10 points.  This gives me a total of 30 Pulp points. Now I don't know how many points I will earn for my last Themed entry, but I'm not counting bonus points for this duel.


From Curt:

These may have been fast Anne, but they still very good. I particularly like the teal/blue glowing panels on the lower bots 'ankles'. 

Hmm, so where are we at for our Pulp Points?  You have 30, I think I have 25,  how many does Simon have? Hmm, I sense I better get a wiggle on or I'm going to get completely smoked in this challenge!

  2. Shiny. I also love the radioactive glow of your lights. How do you do that?

    1. I just start with a very dark base colour and then progressively lighten it till I get to a near white. For the green I add yellow to get that "glowy" look.

  5. They look really crisp especially for a speed paint, Anne! I like the glowing spot color and the bases are very nice.

    1. That was really due to me being lazy and not cleaning those areas up.

  11. Excellent work Anne - I think you should get a few bonus points for having to survive your cat's attempts to delay your painting

  13. Great stuff Anne, I'll add to the chorus on the metallics and glowing bits. I love the figures, the ankles have a real bell bottom look to them.
    Cheers, PD

  14. Some cracking minis Anne. Please let me know what colours you used as they are great... and a nice little pulpy ten points as well :-)

    I think at present I'm probably only on 40 pts with my 8 x 'Boys In Blue' and nothing but Sci-Fi and Super-Heroes to be submitted for this weekend... Oh but then it is Bob Murch month ;-)

    1. 40 Points? Okay, I've marked you down. I somehow thought you had much, much more. Well, this should be a tight race...

  19. They are very nice, clear and very "robotish" surface but with a fantastic patina.
