15mm Robots - PAINTED!

[Sangennaru]

Nice!

Speaking personally, as if it was just down to me, I'd exaggerate the effect even more. But it's not down to me. I think it might possibly change the character of the robots too much, and I won't push you towards it unless you're absolutely sure.

Obviously I can see the pics here, now, but my connection's gone so wonky that I can't google or even bing the pics and proper names of these things; but to use a single-setting example, my idea of badassification was to take the Star Wars Episode One battle droids and skew them towards the heavier versions seen in the next two movies, or even the CG Mos Eisley droid seen in A New Hope special edition.

Hum... ok, i got it, thanks for the info. I will do some experiments tomorrow, for tonight i've done with modelling. I've also re-sculpted the tentacles now:



Hope you like more
If you have more suggestions i'll gladly read them later, or tomorrow! ^_^

I quit, you re-did those things faster then it took me to even start up rhino5. 

The offer still stands tough, if you ever can't do anything in sketchup shoot me a PM. Would be a honour to work on it for you.

cool! Thanks a lot YPU! ^_^
(and i really suggest you to try sketchup... after a brief experience in maya, it was so... reliefing! *_*)

And also: only if that's the kind of 'badass' you were thinking of.

Floater looks great. I'm starting to think of throwing a pile of kickstarter money at you. Even if you don't have a kickstarter. And even if I have no money to throw. (I hear it's pretty easy to get your hands on other people's kickstarter money, though...)

Edit: Also also, a router reset helped. B1s towards B2s.

ehhh, so true. I have in mind three different kickstarters i could do at the moment, but i'm wise enough to NOT do them.
I've a master degree thesis starting in less than two months in Canada, and a career in front of me (hopefully)...

I'll just open a shapeways shop for those 15mm fellas, and i will release a Victorian Flying Ship Dogfight ruleset in a few months from now on Wargames Vault (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=36578.msg429045#msg429045 here's the thread... that's an old project proceeding slowly)... that's enough for my real life! ^^"

For the models, as i said i don't want to get much money for those, so in the shop will use the fee from Shapeways, plus a little extra for me, to fund my own models, nothing more. They will still be below the 1$ each!

The Floater is really nice, a great retro SW feel and still unique!

Why robots need intimidating command poses and shouts?
Well it scares the shit out of their weak fleshy opponents!

I am really looking forward to these models, they will be the 15mm example army in my 3rd FuCo book about Robots!

actually, i liked the hat as well, and I’ll use it for mine, but this batch is a test that Agis will try, and he asked me for another look for the heads! Fear not, the wide hat will prevail!

Well I love the new heads of course! IMO they look a bit more like traditional Robot/ Droid ideas...
The round head was absolutely cool and unique, but many buddies I showed them did not immediately realise that this are robots!

Ah right. Also top of the heads do look very square, the shape just a bit to simple. Especially as its a part you will look at at lot from player point of view.

Sorry don't agree, IMO it is perfect for 15mm! At larger scales it would be a different story, but tiny 15mm robots can be a bit more blocky.  

[Relic]

THAT IS FULL OF WIN!

[Sangennaru]

Eheh, thanks guys! Agis, i'm gonna pose your army this weekend, you'll have printed in a couple of weeks from now! ^^

This morning, after breakfast, i managed to make this:

That's a stupid tutorial, but might be good for anyone who did never use Sketchup...

Cheers

I actually d-loaded sketchup and am now going through the tutorials . Any help and tutorial is welcome. I will get a 3D printer in a few years Im sure and want to learn to do some work myself.

and I hate you Jack .. too much talent in one person

You made me blush.

Anyway, as long as Shapeways will have those cheap prices, you should use it! ^_^

[Relic]

shapeways cheap... not

[Sangennaru]

shapeways cheap... not

aww, cmon! It depends on what you are aiming at! That's the cheapest service around, i'd say!

However, this is the first Fireteam for Agis:

no special weapons for now, i've still to make good concepts for them! =)

[Dewbakuk]

I like them, although I'd make a slight change to the faces. I'd go for an asymmetric lens array for the eyes. Would give the droids much better 'vision' through other spectrums and looks cool. Something like having three lenses with one larger which offsets one of the eyes. Does that make sense?

Do you mean something like that? I like it more too! What do you think, Agis?

I'd say they HAVE to be... otherwise, any other shape will have no edges, no zone to highlight. It costs nothing to me to add a little more curves, but i deliberately avoided them, to have a better model to paint! ^^

[Dewbakuk]

Yep, that looks good to me
