Beetle MKII

For anyone coming to see a Volkswagen… sorry!

I did some cyber snipping and reduced the original beetle down to a leg which I duly printed, along with some bomb rats… exactly as it sounds. Another nomad and a pack saddle too. A bodge job with super glue and Greenstuff and voilà a six legged beetle.

Here is the nomad and the bomb rats… oooh good name for a rock band there!

Not sure what I am going to do with the bomb rats, but I mean bomb rats… I just had to!

I also managed some painting…my son and I sat at the kitchen table and we both painted stuff.

The dwarf is from One Page Rules. The rest are Print Minis

A female space dwarf and another of the nomadic Erroish. She ended up yellow. In Fallout 76  you get to build yellow mining armour as one of the side missions… very original aren’t I. I cannot remember what colour the faction were going to be, but it certainly wasn’t yellow!

To be honest the Print Minis stuff has really kick started me painting again. Not sure why but the Spyre Hunters and the Erroish have got me going again.

Slow Progress on the Beetle

Yes tonight I returned to my artistic endeavours. I was a good boy and picked up a paint brush instead of a controller. I basically painted the person at the front, snapped the seat back off as I found the person wouldn’t fit where the seat had been placed. I glued said person to the seat the glued the seat into the right position.

The platform is now glued in place. Everything on it is just shoved on. The unpainted dude is probably not going to be there permanently. The original has a central pole on the platform with a tin roof. It just looked wrong to me so I am either going to make a tent type idea, shove a tarpaulin over the goods or just leave it open. I haven’t decided yet.

Remember this rider on the stenobeast… I evidently hadn’t and basically put together another one. Somehow I gave managed to print ian identical mount, body, head, left and right arm. This is with multiples of each… weird or what…

Actually subconsciously I probably built what I had before without realising it as I liked the aesthetics or something like that… probably not as weird as I made out!
