Nice paint on the droid, DW  :-*

It's a really nice miniature as well... but (and I really can't explain why...) I can't bring myself to like it.

It has everything I'd expect from a drone/droid miniature... it's well made, crisply cast and looks like it would work but it just lacks something and I don't know what.

I really like the Afterlife stuff as well.

I am really quite confused about this one   ???

This whole range makes me wish I liked Tomorrow's War more.

Reminds me of the C.H.A.S. (?) wardroid from the SST Roughnecks animated TV show -- Mongoose made a model of that at one time. It has the same lanky look.  Could be a different model from the same manufacturer.

Given that I'm pledging for it I 95% love it BUT there is something I will be changing as soon as I get it because it's the one element that soemthing in my brain calls foul on: The forearm/weopen/hands.  It's more than just thinking how impractical they are but also something rather static about the hand sculpt too.  basically elbow the elbow I don't like it at all.  Everything else is great and worth the pledge for sure :)

This droid and painting are beautiful. I need one of these for my Thalia.
