MithrilForge Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Well here's my first "Work in Progress" Kastellan, I didn't like the head being so Robbie like so i added some lenses that feel like sensor equipment should be. C&C appreciated... cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Like Batty i'm playing titanfall 2 at the moment and all the Mech tech and cool pilot helmets got me inspired to go back to these Bots and do something as i was clueless on what to do way back when i made my skitarri army... cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/#findComment-4661142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magos Takatus Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I love that colour scheme! I had a test model very similar to that but you've executed it much better. That white is really nice. It looks nicely shaded but remains really bold. I like the decision to paint the ends of the arms black. I was actually trying to decide what to do with those myself a few days ago and I painted them the same colour as the rest of the arms. The detail on the lenses looks nice and smooth too. Nice going! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/#findComment-4661301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Cool noggin conversion! I dig the paint job too, though I didn't recognize it until I read more in this thread. Getting old, and all that! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/#findComment-4662399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have 3P0, R2 and this one can be BB-8 Oh Dear (face Palm) i didn't intentionally mean to paint him in BB-8's colours , as cool as BB-8 is i don't want to give that impression Nice pick up there though Reyner . Thanks for the like Vel, the paint job was actually supposed to be Ryza's colours cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/#findComment-4663138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I wouldn't take it as a negative on the paintjob, mithril! It really does look great and the additional bits on the 'bot's head add tons of character. AFAIK, everyone loved BB-8 so maybe this was an unconscious decision on your part? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/#findComment-4663378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn sir you have quite the memory there, yes i was trying to theme my skit's on a star wars theme but ran into the problem of the empire having like 4 colours for everything black,grey, white and red... you have given me pause though as i scrapped 3po's head cause it looked like the mechanical owl from clash of the titans , see below... perhaps a redo on the head with my new found lenses may help...and a General theme of star wars may be still doable...? work on the new head begins tonight... ... and i guess i have to put the letters BB-8 on the other one somewhere cheers Mithril ps - Reyner ,thanks for rekindling a lost flame...

MithrilForge Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 haha i found some WiP stuff from the vault and need to dust em off and finish them since i have started this project again... Lord Vader- my son had a vader figurine and broke the red lightsaber part off...i do remember keeping it for this model... A Stormtrooper (Tatooine Pattern ) - this is very WiP...and since doing this guy i discovered an easier way to do white * see Kastelan at top of page i do recall painting up a ranger to look like a Tusken raider (Sand people) but finding it just didn't work...idea's needed?...perhaps "Rogue One" might help me out on this one... anyways i hope to re start on these guys and get some more pics of WiP's and Finished ones up soon.

Reyner Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I fancy trying to paint my Vanguard to resemble the Shore Troopers from Rogue One - you could try use their scheme instead? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coastal_defender_stormtrooper Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331180-wip-kastellan-robotryza/#findComment-4664636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
