Old school robot

 
I picked this robot up in a Facebook trade ages back. I believe the sculpt is by Drew Williams. It was available for a short time on the "Troll Soup" shop, although sadly no longer.


I painted it up using yellow contrast paint, then dry brushed a lighter yellow over the top, before using sponge weathering and Typhus Corrosion to grime it up. I think I overdid the sponge weathering a little, but after a bit of tidying up, I'm OK with how it turned out.


He'll end up seeing service in Stargrave games when I get around to those. But for now, it's the 50th miniature I've finished painting this year. Not quite as many as I wanted to be done by this point of the year, but still plenty. It's going to be a challenge to get more done than last year now, as last year's total was 78.

  1. Lovely work on a lovely sculpt! I'm still kicking myself for not having picked up one when it was available as I always loved the old Robot illustration in Rogue Trader that it was based on!

    1. I didn't realise it was based on anything when I got it - I just loved the look of it.

  2. Love this model. Good paint job too, yellow is always hard to get right, like white there are always ways to just make a mess of it.

    1. The new contrast paints help, but I've done washes, drybrushing and some brush highlighting to make it work.
