Here’s a thought: Ron is busting it out on this piece, and stimulating conversation amongst a bunch of us oilers..how about a group build? Pick a common subject.maybe another NP piece...and we all have at it using Ron’s methods..share as we get on?...

I tend to visualise in quadrants formed by a saltire.
Usually highest point in upper left then reducing in height clockwise with the low point being in the lower left.
There are certainly merits in having an odd number of figures, not so much a problem with two but four doesn't look great but in 3D this can be compensated by pose and arrangement.

For those of us who are less well educated....."saltire" is also known as 'Saint Andrews Cross'....or to put it simply....a bloody X

Here's tae us Scots, wha's like us...gie few and their a' deid................ya pair o' Anglo Saxon Norman Welsh inbreeds

Oh no....I am not getting drawn into this one .............Steve......sort 'im out will ya

He's Scottish, no helping that.

Ye fergot bl*****g Sasenachs

Had to look that one up!

Whilst waiting for some bits and pieces to arrive....I decided to do some more work on the main base.
With so much of the detail going to be hidden by the head and hand...it's an exercise in restraint.
Add to that my theme of 'nature reclaiming it's own'....there will be quite a lot of vegetation over and around the head and hand.....so with this in mind I have kept the colours fairly muted.

First up....the bodies and heads/arm of the 'droids'......

A look at the overall base and the various colours applied as oil washes....



to be continued......

Thank,you,for,the profile shots..give sense of height and shape

Looks to be coming along very well Ron, but watch out for the man of many avatars...…

Wayne

No problem mate

I wonder who you could possibly be referring too Wayne

Glad you like how it's coming along

Got to keep em guessing Wayne, it's bad enough having to wear an ankle monitor

Be really interesting to see where you go with the foliage.

That will be the key to success for the piece. To the extent it conveys a regrowth ..the post, post apocalypse ..it will really be special..
