Hi,

Cast ones 100%. The plastic used for those straws is almost completely unpaintable, at least if you cannot place the pieces in an area where it will not get touched. Maybe do a set of 4 arms on a sprue, and separate hands.

Yeah, you're right, no chance to get paint stuck on them... I updated the pics above!

Very nice

[majorsmith]

very nice, reminds me of one armorcast produce

Hi, almost finished... this is the first casting. I'm not quite sure about the gun in the hull (where the big hole is).... something like a window could be better there...

Nice work. What colour scheme did you use?

[Tobsen77]

Color scheme? I took the big ol' brush and drybrushed boltgun metal, then copper on some parts. Took 2 minutes, I just needed some paint for the photo

Funnt that, just did exactly the same thing with a similar looking Armorcast model I'm using for a game this week.

It might just be me - but your model has a look of the sub-aqua about it?  I think it may be the tentacle type arms and legs, combined with the old school diver-like 'face plate'.  If a hose plugged into the smoke stack, the illusion would be complete.

I can just imagine it striding along the sea bed and stumbling upon some ancient Atlantean ruins

Nice work, I really like the end result of using those bendy straws. They look really good!
