"Silent and obedient", each model was undercoated with a double-helping of "Vallejo" Heavy Red, before being drowned in "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade. They were then enthusiastically dry-brushed with (more) “Vallejo” Heavy Red, and had both their eyes and blasters layered with "Citadel" Abaddon Black." Finally, these areas were ‘picked out’ using a combination of “Vallejo” Gunmetal” and “Citadel” Nuln Oil.
The actual Sentry Robots in the film have metallic panels on the back of their heads - something I never bothered to pick out on my original ten miniatures. But the detail is very clear on the sculpts, so I went back and applied a "Citadel" Abaddon Black base layer to these panels, and then followed this up with a combination of “Vallejo” Gunmetal” and “Citadel” Nuln Oil.
Five x 28mm scale foot figure = 25 Points
Total = 25 Points
Minion Miles: your robots are the very model of efficient painting - well done!
These look great. Black Hole is on my to watch list on Disney Plus. I shall have to deal with this post haste.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. The Black Hole is one of my fave films of all-time. I've watched it hundreds of times, LOL!! Terrific stuff, imho.
DeleteOo will have to give it a watch then if now 2 people are recommending it.. and top notch painting there!
DeleteWell I certainly recommend it, MrLee :-)
DeleteCreepy looking.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter :-)
DeleteMenacing guys... wouldn't want to bump into one of those in a dark alley at night. Fantastic paint work
ReplyDeleteThanks Anibal Invictus. Simple paint-jobs though - lots of patient dry-brushing.
DeleteGreat sentry robots! (I need to watch this film again) That Big Mr Tong sure does get around. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Curt. BMT does an incredible range, so plenty more to come.
DeleteClassic sci-fi robots!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely James :-)
DeleteThese are very menacing, do need some 1950s opponents played by Leslie Neilson
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. I don't actually own any Robby the Robot figures. One to add to my Wish List, LOL!!
DeleteVery effective, they look fine!
ReplyDeleteCheers Emjenic.
DeleteAhh, The Black Hole - I remember that film, but not as well as perhaps I should. Nice work on the 'bots, Simon! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin. Definitely one to track down on dvd if you can, imho.
DeleteAlthough I want to see a V.I.N.C.E.N.T painted up now? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI do have an STL for VINCENT (and Maximillian). But they're rather large - designed to fit in with the old action figures range. Perhaps I'll scale him down one day though. :-)
DeleteCool
ReplyDeleteTa ;-)
DeleteReally effective and well done
ReplyDeleteThanks Valleyboy :-)
DeleteI had a pop-up book of The Black Hole when I as a kid!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work Simon!
