If you were expecting props, well, I've got good news! Looking back on it, I kind of regret pushing to get all of these done this year. On the other hand, they'll all be painted which is nice.
First up we have all of these weird robot cult idol statues. I interpreted them as being made of metal and did
very minimal detail work on them. They were basecoated and metallic-ly zenithaled with the airbrush which sped everything up quite a lot. The heavy
Badger Ghost Tint Oil Discharge wash ended the process. I've been thinning it down with airbrush flow improver which makes it a lot less gloopy.
Next up we have these two...er...legally distinct Daleks. I wasn't entirely sure which side the eyes were on so I painted them on opposite sides for the two of them. I put some effort in to the details on them but let's be honest: they're real messy. I've been trying to use my misbehaving Vallejo Metal Color Copper more but it's really gloopy and hard to apply. I've been thinning it also with airbrush flow improver which helps in its application but not in its opacity. Dunno if I got a bad bottle or what but it's been a fairly low point in the line which I otherwise really like.
I'm not entirely sure what these guys are. Are they supposed to be legally distinct star gates or something? Decontamination portals that are tall enough to trip you? Some other kind of stationary scanning device? They are nicely stable and are kind of impressive looking but I haven't a clue what I might us them for. Also, they don't fit nicely on my prop trays so I have no idea how often I'll remember I have them.
These yellow guys are also a mystery to me. Yellow felt right but wasn't based on any inherent logic. Because I didn't really know what they were, I didn't pick out super many details in different colors. Are they pumps? I legitimately don't know what they're supposed to be and I'm too lazy to go look it up. A lot of the props in this collection are like these: interesting but very confusing.
