The Silver Samurai is bright because that's the ghastly thick silver pre-paint "Wizkids" cover it with :-) All three of those minis have now been undercoated black and I'm just starting to build-up the silver on Kenuichio Harada now. He should be a similar colour to Ultron etc when finished.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-41629155837795861142014-12-30T11:34:19.206-08:002014-12-30T11:34:19.206-08:00I agree with Vampifan: the robots are excellent!

Although I have now based a very nice Mister Freeze model who also wears metallic blue armour. I can see what they were trying to do with Ben Grimm, but it just doesn't work too well. But once I've slapped a few coats on it I'm hoping it'll be worthy of being an objective marker.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-67317359462912773062014-12-29T15:11:10.663-08:002014-12-29T15:11:10.663-08:00That is a really great colour on the dreadnoughts,...That is a really great colour on the dreadnoughts, I think I'll hve to go and find that valejo blue myself. <br /><br />Interesting Thing figure to, though i can see what you mean about it not being one of the best sculpts of him.Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-39316615862238470562014-12-29T13:26:11.229-08:002014-12-29T13:26:11.229-08:00Many thanks Bob.

The Dreadnoughts are famous (in Marvel Comic circles anyway) for their metallic blue armour. Certainly I wasn't going to apply a blue undercoat and then wash them with silver as per the original pre-paints. They looked awful :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-21966394040237810062014-12-29T11:50:54.005-08:002014-12-29T11:50:54.005-08:00Great paintjob on all these, but the silver roboti...Great paintjob on all these, but the silver robotic markers are truly outstanding.<br />Many years ago for a DnD knick I used a bright silver with a blue ink wash on his pate armour which gave a nice fantasy effect of "magic armour".

Unfortunately I found myself 'fighting' the figure's detail in much the same way as I did with the albino skink champion, and wasn't enjoying myself as a result. As I paint purely for fun I figured it was best to 'bench' the mini and recharge the batteries... and that lead to missing Curt's deadline. Your entry looks absolutely superb and will certainly be getting my vote :-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-26124591110588035862014-12-28T22:59:22.846-08:002014-12-28T22:59:22.846-08:00I think this was your best work yet Simon.

The Dreadnoughts are a very old sculpt and as such seem to be a bit tricky to get hold of these days. The Thing is a 10th Anniversary sculpt which was modelled using some sort of CAD and shows imho. It is certainly a cool pose but a little under-sized (as so many of the new sculpts seem to be) and terribly painted. Still should make for a good objective on the table :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-47383679978403065142014-12-28T14:27:13.453-08:002014-12-28T14:27:13.453-08:00Your robot minis have all come out exceptionally w...Your robot minis have all come out exceptionally well, Simon. I have the figures of Ultron, Jocasta and the damaged Danger Room robot myself, but sadly, no Dreadnaughts. <br />Likewise, I have the Silver Samurai and all the ninja variants. I have never ever seen that figure of The Thing before. He is rather cool. isn't he?Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
