Finished my first forge world model today a Domitar Battle-automata. Did it in my Konor color scheme and am really happy with how it came out. Also if you are wondering why it standing like that it is because I screwed up the modeling and gluing the parts together so I made due with what I got.

I would not have thought of that color scheme, but it looks really good. You also did a great job on the decals.

It's easy to get a weird pose on a lot of the automata (I think, because I'm just starting with them too), because they have so many parts and you can't sometimes gauge how one limb looks until another one is on. My first Vorax isn't in a stable pose either, so I will probably put a piece of terrain under one foot.

How was the Domitar to put together? I'm still waiting on two from Gen Con.

I have two of the iron circle domitar bots, and both were a miserable experience to assemble. I'm not surprised that a mistake was made, it was probably lucky that it even got finished. Nice job on the paint work. Going to suffer through any more?

Thanks. Putting it together was a bit of a pain. First it took forever to get rid of the release agent. For some reason it just seemed like I just could not get rid of it and even leaving it to soak in a grease cleaner for a long time did not get rid of the shininess of some of the pieces but I guess it worked but it was still a pain. Putting it together was not to bad until I got to the legs. I did not even notice it had happened until it was to late to fix so you got to watch the legs. Next time I will probably try to do it from the feet up to make sure the feet are flat as I assemble it.

Maybe. Got a lot of other things both GW and FW to get to before I get another one.

I really like the greens on that guy makes him pop quite nicely
