With the LPL now finished I thought I would post some close up pictures of my round ten entry.
I don’t think my LPL pictured showed the scale of the robot. Fu Matron

or some of the detail

Also some other pictures of my British vehicle. D.A.V.I.D

and the crew

First horse I have painted in a year

I can’t honestly say that I like the "robot"… but Lizzy and the figures around it are top notch!

I dunno. The robot is pretty nice. I would be proud to have it at my disposal. The British contraption is very nice, yes.

The DAVID is excellent. What did you convert it from? Did you document a step by step build?

The FuMatron is brilliant. Any chance of some build pics? And are those Svenn's chinese character plates on there? I am guessing the DAVID is from an Atlantis toy originally?

All rather nice, I like DAVID very much.

The crew look great too and the horse is excellent.

All marvellous.

The Fu-Matron is wonderful and the D.A.V.I.D. looks almost like it could have existed. I really like the bopmbardier too, he looks like a proper hard case.

One teeeny thing... you've painted human eyes on your horse. That's just creepy looking.

I hadn't noticed that, but you're right, it is quite creepy...

David is excellent.

I love DAVID, but then, I think the FuMaton is quite cool. Not my image of VSF, a bit too pulp for me.

David is an atlantis toy yeah?

That’s what I like about the LAF constructive criticism.

The DAVID was built in a hurry and I just realised that I haven't taken any pictures of the build. It was a bit of a mad rush trying to finish it for the LPL. There is not a great deal of converting done. The basic model in an Atlantis toy

I did cut off some bits and pieces. Moved the lamps. Removed the winches and the old turret mount. Added the back door and the gun platform. Added some detail to the drivers compartment, including hinges and handles to the hatch, a viewing slit and some rivets. Built the back door out of plastic card.
I have some pictures of the Fu Matron biuld and will post them later on tonight. The plates were Svennn's. Very useful too. I haven't managed to get the embossing kit working that he gave me, these are just the one he had done for me. Thanks Svennn.

The horse has just black eyes with a little curved grey high light. It is wierd that it looks like a human eye in the pic.

A lovely collection of VSF goodness, GM!

Your Fu Matron has out-Cyberkinged Dr Who's Cyberking

Lizzy does indeed look very authentic. She has some splendid traction engine style livery, which really looks the part.

We really need to see pics of it all engaged in a huge 6ft x 8ft battle

Fu-Matron v Tobsen's Bismatron... that's what I was after when I started ranting about VSF character war-robots. Ahh, I love VSF.

Very nice Giant Chinese Mecha, love the glyph-panels, and the use of the Empire Hell-blaster steam-rockets or whatever they are.

The DAVID is lovely. Now you've shown us the toy it came from, OK I can see it, but I reckon you've made it your own... 'I didn't do much, just changed loads of things' (I paraphrase). Looks xcellent anyway.

And the figs themselves, superb painting on them. I wish I could paint half as well as that, they look great.

Except for that possessed horse, it's just scary and wrong. Stop looking at me. Stop it. EEEEK!

The glyph plates are a really nice touch on Fu Matron. I don't think I really appreciated the level of extra detail on your entry until I saw these close-ups (I still voted for it

)

Well done.
