Clockwork infantry prototype usin Sontaran/Cybermen

[einarolafson]

This is the only thing I can make with the Sontaran/Cybermen from the DRWho magazine. With some more work and in another colour I think that they are a good solution. This time I bought 16 sontaran and 16 cybermen so I can do a 15 clockwork infantry. Loctite seem to work well on this rubber.

They are very fast to do, some cuts and glueing.

I like them, very cool.

Very nice - but where's the key?

Thank you!!

The handler has the key. It would work by putting it in the little peg in the steam engine.

Wow! It really is possible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

Having missed out on the last issue and plans for more steam powered Darleks to go with the Eurkea Pax Limpopo stuff -I salute you sir

Got to agree with that statement.
Lovely work and I love the colours of the bases.

Can such fulsome praise be understatement? Given how much like c**p the descriptions and piccies I've been seeing previously suggest, maybe. ;->=

Impressive.

I had a look at that magazine today after seeing these. Good god man, you've worked miracles!

[Chairface]

They are fantastic! Well done.

the robots, i like. the tank tops, not so much. they are painted with skill but are not very inspired. your previous minis has made me to expect quite a lot from you:)

[Mors]

Blimey , great work!

[einarolafson]

Thank you for your comments!!

I would like to see more ideas and conversions by more people with these weird miniatures...

Sorry about that, I have to find a miniature on the table to end your disappointment

They look great to me - both the conversion and the painting! I love the shading on the black chest armour 

Amazing that such poor toys can be turned into gorgeous gaming models. Must see if there are any at the local Asda today and give it a try

Incredible!  I had to go back & look at the original sontarans & cybermen to believe they were the same figures.

For those that haven't seen the originals, here's a picture:

So you cut up the cyberman body to make it more posable & then used the dome helmet of the sontaran for the head?  Beatiful work.
