Wow! Ray, you have excelled yourself with those automata. They gleam like the sun! Brilliant.

Paul, i love Capain Scarlet, and you've done a great job on them, but honestly, the clanks are just so wonderfully done...  ::)

Very tedious job actually... some much detail on the minis it almost drove me mad.  o_o

I used Foundry Chainmail, highlighted with Spearpoint (though it is hard to see), Coat d'arms Brass and Miniature Paints Blue Steel. I had wanted to do a shade on the Blue Steel, but I barely made it in time as it was. Hit them with a bit of gloss varnish to make them shine.

Love your minis Matakishi and especially your well know multiple basing!  :-*

Well done Ray! May I ask who makes the clanks? I've never seen those before or if I have these are so well painted they fooled me.

Beautiful work on the automata, and great choice for the handler. I get the feeling he didn't really want that particular task, but by Jove, he's going to make a good job of it.

As I said, I had seen those before but you did such an awesome job on them I didn't recognize them. Again well done and thanks for the answer.

Not an easy choice, both quite nice!
Love the choice of the blue-silver metallic: looks like chrome!
