I like them as well  8)

Very pleasing overall shape, reminds me a bit of Rodney Matthews (no bad thing there)  :)

cheers

Thanks guys.

Yes - I'm a big fan of Rodney Matthews too.

No idea how these will turn out when they're finished but I have high hopes.

Black, I think.

I was going to do red, but this is VSF and therefore red=British.

Or possibly some really violent, sickly, insect-ish colour.

Hard to know really - it has to be Victorian in essence, even though the machinery is fictional. Colour is a big part of that.

Still thinking. Suggestions are welcome!

Coloured metallics?

Copper patina and a silver might look quite good together with a few twiddly bits in gold.

cheers

You may be right. I'll give it some thought - I'm a long way off painting them yet though!

Egad, but these are fine looking creatures.

My first step when deciding colours for VSF vehicles/constructs is traction engines and trains. The majority are red or green but there are a few in yellow and blue, but the way the trim interacts with the rest of the colour is what you're actually looking for.
