Made from Forgeworld leftovers, a spare 1/16 German head, some plasticard, a DVD and some very dead HDD bits.





I think he needs a bigger base.  When I finish his paint job I'll consider it..

2 Reasons why a model is better than a wife:
1) A model doesn't get jealous when you look at another model
2) A model doesn't yell at you for spending money on another model

Very cool!

It reminds me of a crossing between Robocop and  Dr. Octopus in a Warhammer40k world :)

Please share some more photos of all the delicious details!

And definitely it deserves a bigger and more imponent base.

Reminds me a bit of the Borg drones with the eyepiece but the other features remind me of an WH40K Ultra-Marine.  Seven of Nine meets up with off duty UM at the bar, several drinks later they are off to some place private and the next thing you know there is a little Seven of Nine-Ultra-Marine running around in nappies...

Great looking model. Love the creative use of "junk" to make an original model.
