Post by: Mad Doc Morris on March 20, 2011, 10:29:35 AM: Since Johnny 5 robots with faces are my soft spot. Otherwise I would have voted for those very well painted explorators. Sorry.

hehe, there was actually a Wall-E checking up on the progress of the paintjobs. Sadly he is in a compltly different scale, otherwise he might have been added as well. I figured that these guys would be easy to paint, but the (relativly) rough sculpting didn't make them that easy. I did contemplete to add weathering, but since these guys (gals?) will be used as pawns in a boardgame I didn't think it that neccesary and went for a plain paintjob with a different main colour for each of them.

Now it's just time to play a bit more roborally :D

Post by: Hawkeye on March 20, 2011, 10:56:27 PM: Two very different - but really good - entries. This is a tough one. I love the bright colours on the robots, but I also love the muted, naturalistic tones on the explorers.

Then again, I like your entry, so I don't really mind :D

Post by: rapscallion on March 21, 2011, 04:17:39 PM: Braxandur, thank you for your comment- I must say that when I originally saw your entry, I thought that I had lost it- still, it's not over till it's over. Good luck with the rest of the league- I'm dreading coming up against some of "The Masters". Rapscallion.

Post by: Pil on March 21, 2011, 05:09:17 PM: Two great entries. Rapscallion, the polar adventurers are very nicely painted! Braxandur, good to see those robots with a fresh lick of paint, and I agree we should play Robo Rally again sometime soon. The weathering is definately not mandatory,they are fine as they are 8)

Post by: syrinx0 on March 22, 2011, 12:29:18 AM: I really like the frozen north explorers. I need to get those to add to my Pulp Northern explorers. Great paint jobs.
