Title: Painted a robot and a powered armour guy...
Post by: Lovejoy on 01 April 2014, 09:17:07 AM
I briefly released these figures a year or so back. I'm hoping to re-launch them soon, so I thought I ought to try out alternative colour schemes. I picked red. Big mistake - it took ages, and still doesn't look quite right. I'd forgotten what a PITA painting red was... I reckon I'll stick with the bluey-grey I was using before.

Looks alright to me  8)

I'll pick some of these up for my Akira project so a heads up would be great when they get rereleased  :)

cheers

They might have been a drag to paint, but they are just dandy to look at  :-*

Yup, still looking pretty awesome! And in red, it looks to be just a bit faster too... :D

And you're too close to the subject; from over here, the paintjob looks just fine, if a bit featureless on the front torso. Most would do unspeakable things to get that rich a red btw. Just saying... ;)

Great news of this one becoming available again, since I missed out on the first release. Please keep us posted.

These are awesome!

I am not sure exactly what to use them for, but I am definately feeling a need to own these.

Thanks everyone! I'll probably try painting some more of them over the weekend - but not red... never again!  ;)

Yes, please keep us in the loop when they are for sale again. Why did they go away in the first place?
I plan to use the walkers for rogue trader chaos robots or dreadnoughts!!
thanks
btw- nice paint jobs, these colors bring out the details on the sculpts, which are nicer then I remember. The grey mutes it all together.

I have never understood why people find red so difficult. I have painted many many red figures over the years (my first army was red) and all turned out ok.

By the way, yours look great!
