Hello colourful people,
this is definatly a Necron with a story.
I name him RXU-721 and here is his story:
Peter once had this Necron sprue and he was so nice and gave one to me and to Raffa.
After half a year, last week exactly I was searching for a very figure I could do very quick to enjoy some fast pace painting moments. I choose that Necron and after preparing the legs, the weapon and the head I realised that the two body parts I took from Peter were back torso pieces ... FAIL!
Peter was so gentle to give me another front piece and I was happy like a little boy, prepared the parts and started glueing the figure. Then I realized that I lost one arm somewhere and while Peter was visiting he did not bring the whole sprue, only the torso piece. Searching for a lot of minutes did not bring me the arm so I decided to just leave it gone ... but then I thought that weapon is pretty heavy and the poor robotnecron-Arm could not handle it anymore - I also failed on the gaming base so I used a base which I did during a painting class, it was already painted so all was set ... So this is the story of RXD-721. A story full of fails by me but with a happy ending ... I call that happy creating without too much worries :D
RXU-721
Games Workshop, 28 mm
Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes

Would have used the fails as a reason to leave the weapon in the closet and give the robot a searching for spare parts theme, which would reflect your search for the missing parts of that miniature...just the first thought that came to my mind reading your story and seeing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteSometimes our best works are the one where we aren't afraid to try something or do something just for the fun of it. Honestly, I love the beaten down feel of this one. Like they won the battle but lost the war... really evocative.

ReplyDeleteNice work all the same mate. I mean it looks like it all fits still, and without the back story I dont think many would see it the same way. Looks like it was planned ;) Nice work all the same!
