68 SQUADRON Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) just something small to start off with. its a Studio Mcvay 28mm figure pair( tho the robot is actually 50mm). when i first saw it reminded mo of the robot fron the old silent movie Metropolis, also had a pit of The day the earth stood still about it. Hope you all like it Edited February 19, 2016 by 68 SQUADRON 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nice one, lovely metallic finish on the robot. It also gives me a Forbidden Planet vibe with the pose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68 SQUADRON Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 thats very true , years since iv seen that. it was airbrushed with vallejo steel then given a few washes with p3s blighted gold. its a lovely colour that, gold with a greenish tinge.

BobSolo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cool, I havent watched Metropolis yet, he looks like what i always thought would come out of the Nautilus Submarine! And Cyclops always look good to me, they remind me of Sinbad films! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurrantBunbury Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cracking job! It looks real enough to be a bit scary, in a Cyberman sort of way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
