The miniature was primed using a double helping of "Citadel" Abaddon Black, and then layered using a mixture of "Vallejo" Gunmetal and "Scalecolor" White Alchemy. Initially, I had planned on pigmenting the "eight-foot tall, seamless" automaton with pure "Vallejo" Gunmetal. But having seen a colourised photograph taken from an old black and white movie still, it was clear that the metallic member of an interstellar police force was a lot shinier than normal.

With this problem well in mind, I also watered down the "Citadel" Nuln Oil I ordinarily use to help shade any silver-coloured metallic areas. The entire miniature was then dry-brushed with (more) "Scalecolor" White Alchemy to bring out any details. I also 'picked' out the law enforcement robot's visor using a combination of "Vallejo" Gunmetal and "Citadel" Abaddon Black to help it stand out from the rest of the model.

Finally, alongside Klaatu's guardian I have also completed two more 28mm scale metal SpyBots by "Crooked Dice Game Design Studio". These can be bought individually as SKU: MINI 649 or as part of the four-figure deal - DEAL 193. The single-cast models were predominantly painted using "Vallejo" Heavy Grey, "Citadel" Biel-Tan Green, "Vallejo" Gunmetal, "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade and "Mig Productions" Extreme Rust Wash so as to tie them in with my previously painted 'pilot' piece...
