The Mechanics Robot

Quite a while ago, I picked up a Robot from Killer B Games’ Star Patrol range.

So I thought that I would paint it to go in the Junkyard as the Mechanics faithful retainer. 

It’s a nice chunky retro looking robot.

So here’s a picture of it next to the plastic Stargrave Alien Mechanic that I’ve painted previously 

Sci-Fi Storage Tanks

 I’ve just made a couple of storage tanks for the desert board.

These have been cobbled together from various bits that we had lying around.

These black one's main body is from a Bullet Bill sweet container, 

with the holes filled in & various bits of Plasticard & plastic rod glued on

The other one is from a weird dome bit that I found, part of an old light fitting, with the usual bits of plastic rod etc stuck on

Retro Sci-Fi League

 I’ve painted up a Pulp Sci-Fi league using the 2010 Salute giveaway figures.

 

The Robot on the right I painted a while ago but have rebased it on half of the scenic base that came with the set, I only added a bit to the front so that it took up the whole base.

The other Robot on the left has had its stance changed as best I could to make it more upright. 

I achieved this by cutting it in the middle, removing a sliver & bending it back. 

I also removed the right arm & re-positioned it. 

The base insert is a scratch built piece as well, made from press-moulded Miliput, plastic rod & card.

Finally the Leader, she is also on part of the original scenic base,

 with bits of plastic rod added to fill it out to the sides.

I will probably end up using these as a Leader & two side kicks.
