And putting it all together:



I'm reasonably happy with him now - but I'm wondering whether to add more GreenStuff bits... it's difficult to stop fiddling!
I guess it'll depend on how bored I get over the weekend...  ;)

Cheers all,
Michael

Marvellous. If that one becomes available for purchase, I know where I would be getting my Horus Heresy Robot Maniple from.

This how-to is great.  Thanks for posting the description and pictures.  I like your making-two-identical-limbs solution.

oo very nice, good to see the steps that have gone into it too - reminds me a little of the old cybertronic enhanced cuirasseurs for warzone

That is so clever, inventive, and innovative. I absolutely adore the critter, but I am far more impressed by the technique and skill that went into making it. THAT is serious talent! You are skillful and imaginative. What a combination! What can we expect in future....?

Whatever it is I am looking forward to it.

detail amount is just right and there are some nice areas for rusty colours weathering, this will offer something for everyone in the fine detailing and larger area painting, i think this one is finished....now go make more and when you are ready let us know where we can buy them.
