From Barks: Come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab (39 points)

Any suggestion that these loyal Imperial scientists have been corrupted is fake news.

The scientist is a 3D print from 2nd Dynasty, and comes in a casual and action pose.

"We do what we must, because we can."

The servoskullz are 3D prints from Makers Cult. I would like some input on how you paint solid flight stands- this is pale grey; should I go brown or tan or mid grey or matt black?

The scenery is GW. I would love to fill the specimen vat with tinted resin, but am worried it will fail horribly. I have left the top loose if I get some courage in the future.  I like all the control panel greebling.

Hard to photograph!

    1. I should find some 'Don't tap on the glass' or 'Don't feed the xenos' stickers!

  6. Just to throw some oil in the water I am going to suggest sticking with the light grey on the flight stands.🙂

    1. I like the debate! I feel it sticks out a little, particularly in the underhive environments they may appear in.

  7. Some great work here Barks, as to the flight stands, I'd probably go black like the others said, whatever you paint is gonna be visible (doh!), but blacks pretty neutral and shouldn't be noticed so much???

    1. But most of my groundwork is brown, so maybe that would blend in more?

    1. There does seem to be an impetus toward black!

    1. When we said we needed some extra hands around the place this wasn’t what we had in mind!

    1. It’s great when a Chamber gives you an excuse to pull a few different projects together.

  11. Love it Barks, bang on theme. 3D prints came out well.

    Red Crosses on the lab assistants seems deeply ironic, for our Grimdark future.

    1. Yes, I only painted them because they were sculpted on.
