Firstly here is a robot model from about 30 years ago. RE-PAINTED. At the time I was using it as a 28mm model but now I feel more of a 15mm model. The joy of Fantasy/sci-fi is no one knows so it can be whatever you want it to be. No one knows and few (if any) care. I am afraid I do not know who makes it or what it is for. I remember that our local toy store got some and as such I bought 3 (the other 2 are in pieces and are missing heads. But rebuilding them is for another time/post!
This was a very easy re-paint. Almost too easy, or embarrassingly easy. Just 3 colours of brown on the legs and a thin brown was overall. It really was that easy. About an hour in all including drying time. In fact the base took longer!
I look forward to finding the missing pieces and getting the other 2 finished now. Obviously this will bulk out my 15mm sci-fi army and give them some mech support. And we all lke a bit of mech support. The only conversion work is the adding of a gun to the right arm. Way back in the day (no not quite when dinosaurs walked the earth) GW used to do separate weapons and arms. Not for a long period, but they did, Anyway the weapon is a cut down "Lasgun" I just chopped it about and added it on. Mech with guns is usually a good idea! |
| Just the mech and a random 15mm alien, (on the to paint pile) and a random 28mm figure. Just as a size/scale cmparison. |
Ok all Historical nuts can breath now. Finally some 28mm Crimean war WIP. Nearly finished ths mounted officer still got the face and the flesh and a few other bits to do, and a tidy-up. But it at least shows what I am working on for Matt. And that perhaps I have not been as lazy as I appear to have been. This is a 28mm Wargames Foundry and I have needed the practice in 28mm as it seem to have been a while. So I had best do some 28mm figs next!
Thanks for looking and more again in a day or so. Okay 2-3 days more likely!
All the best Clint
Wow, you have been busy.
ReplyDeleteI don;tknow why, but I really do like the robot, reminds me a bit of robots in the comic "2000AD".
Thank you Joe. I have 2 more to re-build when I find all the bits. Luckily I know they are still about somewhere.
DeleteAs for 200)AD I see what you mean, not thought of that but yes you are right.
I love that robot, Clint! The final size comparison shot is most appreciated as it shows it would not look out of place in a 28mm scale game.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does have a 2000 AD vibe about it, in particular, "The ABC Warriors" as it reminds me a bit of Hammerstein in style and colour. If ever you find out who made it and if it is still available, do let me know as I would love to own one.
Thank you Bryan. As I seem t keep saying I have 2 more of these in pieces but missing heads (for now.) So you may be seeing more of them pretty soon. But as for who makes them at present I am sorry but no idea. (I think it may have come off of the ark!) If I ever find out for sure I'll let you know.
DeleteScale is just a state of mind in 15mm Clint!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran. I agree the robot could fit in with any scale. And that is one of the joys of sci-fi.
DeleteNice work Clint. I actually quite like the robot. Shock Horror!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. I nearly fell off my chair then! Historical soon, I shall work on some tonight.
DeleteHi Everyone,This was how me and my Boyfriend became VAMPIRES. I got a guy from the internet called Lord who was a VAMPIRE so i told him that me and my boyfriend would love to become a VAMPIRES so he asked me of my Name ,Country, Age ,State , address and in the next 3 days i got the blood sample through the DHL which me and my boyfriend took in the blood into our body and in the next 30 minutes we turned into a VAMPIRE so if you are interested in becoming a VAMPIRE. First: Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books, Sure. I understand. You are young; you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteNice work on the Robot Clint, I too have no respect for manufactures idea of scale! I've done combinations of Heavy Gear and BattleTech as well as others into the same unit, I just give them the same cammo lol.
