G.O.T. Monowheel WIP; Finished and out tomorrow!
« on: October 16, 2010, 11:48:26 PM »
The Praying Mantis: basic camo and a little detail painting on the main elements of the model. It comes with two crew too!


seats have been reworked to accomodate a better fit for the seated crew.

Another fantastic paint job!!!

I'm not a big fan of the mini....Well, let me take that back, the mini is wonderfully sculpted.  I guess I'm not a big fan of the concept.  A bit too goofy for me.  (and I like some seriously goofy stuff!)

But, who cares what I think when it looks that well done!

Well, there I was, in the attic workroom this evening putting the 'Preying Mantis' together to finish off just a little detail work before showing you guys the finished item....and I dropped it! Lots of scraped paint particularly on the crew and, vitally, off the nose and cheek of the 'passenger' trooper.

I'm not particularly pleased with the (almost) finished look so may have to strip it and start again.
It is a lovely little model though and I thought you might like to see the 'wheel with the crew anyway.

I know that sick feeling of dropping a mini that you've finished...UGH!


Still, it looks pretty amazing.

It is fantastic, I really love this wheel and your paintjob.

Here comes the silly question : where could I buy it from ?
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

Thanks Rodrigo - and thankyou gentlemen (and ladies if applicable) for the very supportive comments. I will try to touch up the damaged areas and finish the paint job.
The 'Preying Mantis' military version of the monowheel  is not yet available  - I was very lucky to receive an early moulding to build and paint but I suspect that when Jed sorts out one or two issues with the new website he will add several new items fron the G.O.T. universe. Watch that space above!
