"They all go crazy." |
Having found the previously version of this figure rather delicate to pick up, paint and game with, courtesy of the cyborg's tiny pistons, cables, circuitry and wiring, I initially decided to upscale the 3D print from its original 28mm size to a more hefty 32mm using "Chitubox" Basic. However, despite its 108.41% adjustment (measured using the company's Colonist Marine Cyborg Hero E-900 Exterminator as the new eye-line height - also known as 'Arnie Scale'), it still looked a little fragile. So I actually upped the miniature's size again to 115%.

Robocop 2 was primed with "Citadel" Abaddon Black and then treated to a couple of layers of Scalecolor Thrash Metal by "Scale 75". I went with this particular metallic as I wanted the cyborg to appear a little different in hue to the (smaller) incarnation of FKMSA Failed Experimental Battledroid Series 1 I'd previously pigmented. The 3D print was then drowned in "Citadel" Nuln Oil - the new formula version which I'm still somewhat getting my head around using. The entire ensemble was later dry-brushed with (more) Thrash Metal by "Scale 75".
"Pendraken Miniatures" WIPs - A Matilda II tank undercoated with "Vallejo" Leather Brown surface primer |
Alongside this latest addition to my ever-increasing collection of painted science-fiction film inspired "Papsikels Miniatures", I've also started work on a pair of old Matilda 2 tanks by “Pendraken Miniatures” which I recently unearthed. I was actually hoping to use these two 10mm metal British armoured vehicles for my 'Battle Of The Bulge' project. However, I've since discovered that they weren't present during the Ardennes Offensive, and indeed only seemingly saw action during the Winter when used by the unimpressed Soviets. Unperturbed, I've decided to therefore start a non-Winter force of Allies and Axis forces in the scale, basing them with green flock...
