The Cybermen

Cybermen certainly look best in serried ranks. A dozen or so units like this would only be decribed as spectacular.

On the other hand, for painting... yes, possible to spend lots of time shading - but they are effectivly just one colur. So I sprayed them with a grey undercoat over the grey plastic, then painted over the undercoat with gunmetal grey... and that was it. Missed a couple of places and it doesn't make a lot of difference (now painted over the missed bits). Could have just painted the base green and it wouldn't have made much difference!

 Been spending a few days doing fewer Daleks - this lot just finished in a matter of minutes!

  1. They look good, Rob - I can vaguely remember Cybermen from my Doctor Who watching days in the Seventies! Daleks of course are iconic....

    1. They're still around. One of my favourite scenes in the current Dr Who reboot involved them. 'war. This is not war. This is pest control'. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=dalek+this+is+pest+control&mid=49023A5AB50FA5D28BFC49023A5AB50FA5D28BFC
