I stopped in on a game with my buddies some time back at our local FLGS. They were playing Robbo Rally. While watching then end the game, I had to comment on them not using painted miniatures on the board. I am after all a troll! My buddy then retorted that if they bothered me, I could paint them for him. Well, normally, I would just make another snarky comment! However, looking at the figures, I thought they would be fun to paint as a distraction. So, I said challenge accepted! He handed me the grey plastic masses with a smile. I’m sure there were some quite comments from my buddies regarding horse excrement, but I digress…
I have been working on a few SYW figures of late and though I needed a break from painting turn backs and looked over to the robots sitting on my table. I had primed them a long time ago and added a couple colors, but they still sat unfinished. Needing a distraction and something that I could show I finished that night, I decided to work on the robots.
Some metallic, bright colors, washes and highlights and they are done (plus a decal)! Hope my biddy likes them! Now, they can play Robots Rally properly! Now, if they would only do something with those two dimensional boards….
