AND INTO PAINT THEY GO !

Going to have to call an early close to Mechanismo May, as the house move/ sit/work starts on Monday, which means I will have limited access to the internet for the next four weeks, this also means I won't be able to comment on your blogs as well during this time, so apologies in advance.
So what did I actually manage in this shortened month ? Firstly I finished the FX medical droid

Next is a Imperial Droid R5 J2 that was a simple paint job

Next is another Imperial droid R4 I9 which was also just a paint.

Last to be finished was a RA7 protocol droid, it wasn't the pure black I hoped to do, but will finish that one later

Zippo and J4X-7  will be worked on at a later point, infact I'm thinking of modifying J4 so I can release it as a gun drone robot on the web site.
That's it for this post, and I'll see you all on the flip side, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

  2. Across the board excellence Dave, and great progress given the time pressures you're under.
    I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible, and I look forward to when you "break radio silence" and let us know you're OK !

    1. Thank you Greg, wanted to get a couple of pieces done at least.
      We've already had one hiccup but hoping the rest goes smoothly

  3. Apologies for the infrequent comments Dave. I have been enjoying your posts on your Star Wars modelling and kepy meaning to comment, but time kept slipping away. Very nice work on your droids. Very best of luck with the house move.

    1. Thank you Simon, at this rate I should be easily able to populate the Mos Eisley board with enough droids, but need to work on the human population at some point

  6. Hi Dave - I'm just starting to emerge from our house move so I wish you well with yours. Traumatic at first but the benefits far out weigh the negatives. It will still be a while before I get back to the blogging but should be able to keep up a bit better.
    I'm pleased with your new move as i was worried about your other blogs strange habits of redirecting me whenever i clicked on something.
    Looks like you had a good Salute, the pictures of the stand look - outstanding ;)
    Cheers

    1. Thank you John, house moving can be one of the most trying times, but now hopefully on the tail end now.
      Look forward to seeing new blog posts when your ready, and great to have you back in the community.
      Salute went well, and happy to report no problems with the new blog so far.

    1. Thank you Dai, probably need or should I say would like more robots, enough to fill a 6' x 4' board would be good.
