Running Man. Sure, I never read the book, but the movie was pretty good.

I bet with the World's love of "reality" TV, that type of thing isn't too far off. Mine is more like survival though, not people actually trying to kill the other people. But still, I would watch it!

aye... been meaning to watch that movie too...

and well... if it was up to me... then sports games like jugger was also on tv... why watch a game of ice hockey if it wasn´t a real fight?... i was once at a game of ice hockey...and they did a real hard tackle there... the blood of the "victim" was on the ice the whole game... (he wasn´t hurt that badly...but it looked quite cool to have this ppol of red blood on that white icey ground...)

i beg to differ......

we do get some picture updates now and then^^


and this is now^^

well here are some of the current works of mine... some are still heavy WIP...some are reaching the finishing line...


so here goes:

stovepipehat... detailwok done on the boiler and the gun... brassed up the gun and did the boiler in tin bitz (which needs to be tidied up a treat still...)



shiney...he got his joints done in dwarven bronze...i am totally unsure about them... i think i ruined the look and it needs to be redone...brass will be better...your thoughts?...also i did the boiler in tin bitz... which looks quite good in my opinion...



medich...used tin bitz on his pipeworks and on some pistons... actually i see now that i need to take more pics of him as his mech arm isn´t really to be seen atm...




and...

black devil standard bearer...needs some details and then a wash session...then i think i can call it quits with him...



and his captain...what do you think about the brassed up bionics?...and does the brass suit the plasma pistol? remeber they should blend in a bit to the other steampunk soldiers...



well...what´s your thoughts now...?

cheers, vik

Thanks, Vik, but I got nothing on these! I think I actually had a look once or twice and got lost in all the banter The painted robots look fantastic - stovepipe hat guy in particular has so much character! I think Shiney could work as he is, but the bronze may separate him from the others a little too much - you could try dulling it down with a few washes? I've also got far enough back to find your Knight

And I am definitely stealing that rivet technique - it looks so easy! Will have to try it out and report back.

that would be cool...try it and describe your expierience...

and thanks mate...stovepipe is the most true to the original concept of rivetto... so only fair he gets lots of attention... soon i will make a dial in his chest and other smaller deatils too...

and many thanks for the knight... he is actually in pause mode but soon (yeah i say that about the airship too ) he will be finished^^

i think i don´t want to have shginey stay that way... will get a brasswork done on him soon... also...he has that chestplate... maybe you have seen that detail on him... what do you think should i paint it? let it stay silver or should i go for a ctrasting color? i am leaning towards the latter...

Nice job on the bots but I agree that you need a few washes to get rid of the shine, plus a few oil stains would not go a miss.

The bright dwarf bronze needs dulling up a little in contrast it seems a little bright, I see what you are trying to achieve here but you need a balance with the colours and the washes will help to blend.

Over all I like where these are going and the brass bionic is a nice touch.

thanks LDD... was a bit unsure of the bionics as well...but seems i´ve done not too bad on that...

the bronze will vanish... i don´t like it the more i look at it...

and yep...oil stains and other slushy weathering will happen to all... shiney won´t stay that shiey after everything... i can do oily stains with a bit of blue wash in the mix non?

Seems that this new rivetting technique could be the mass producer I have been needing.....

And I agree the distinct hue on Shiney is too incongruent with the others so you get what I gave Dave: "It sucks, do it again....."

Bronze or brass should be done in 3 steps- it looks wrong to you because you've only used one step- You need a base, a shade, and then a highlight. Adding and additional brown basecoat beforehand and/or adding verdigris afterwards are optional additional steps, but at minimum you need to do metallics in the three steps.

modest he is^^

and max... thank you very much! i value the this sucks way higher than the : top notch bro stuff we all read here too often...

and yes... shiney looked wrong to me too... and too far off from the rest of the bunch... even the silver i used is different to the others as it is a revell color i have which actually flows quite nice... but has a shade between mithril silver and boltgun metal... so i tried it for variety...but after a decent wash aplication this will look better...

at dave... thanks a heap for that hint... brown basecoat i read about for gold and other warmer metalics...why i didn´t use it then... well bloody stubornness and lazyness i think... but i will take that hint to heart...or rather hindbrain^^

tho i can not really tell if the bronze of mine is a bit ill in nature... other metalics look quite different staright from the bottle...


on other news... probably will get to make some new pics later on when my wife is in bed...no not what you think.... no my progerss on the medich and the others...^^

cheers... and now wash out yon brains^^
