Hey Colonel,

Champion effort, excellent scratch building! Well done...

You've given me inspiration to create my own 28mm scale VSF automatons!

Cheers

what kind or brand of glue do you use.

Hi All!

Thought I'd make some deadly killer robots from nice shiny plastic beads... So I did.

Hope you like 'em!

Thanks gents! Glad you like them.

The plastic rods, tubes, etc. are from Evergreen - awesome stuff and well worth the expense. I get mine at Modelcrafts and Hobbies in Wellington (for those of you in my area)

I use Humbrol liquid poly on the styrene plastic and ordinary cheap and nasty superglue for the beads. I do the majority of my painting with acrylic inks over acrylic house paint bought in test-pots. I have a few nice metallics from a kids' range called DecoArt (Warehouse Stationery if you're in NZ). I own one pot of silver from GW, which is the only 'proper' wargaming acrylic in my collection.

I like to find alternatives to the established methods and materials - hence the plastic beads.

These guys definitely have a look of Cybermen about them, but I honestly didn't realise until I'd finished the first one!

More on the way!

Thanks for all the comments!
