Keratis 1
Imagine walking along a corridor in a Hybrid Lab. The floor gives way to reveal these wooden posts and metal spikes, and the only way onward is from post top to post top. Then a Keratis warrior gets in the way. That's the base i was working towards. This mini took 15hrs (not incl base). For the halberd, I tried to copy Rackham's paintjob of a halberd for Cypher Lukan 2nd Inc. It didn't work out. I also tried to mimic Rackham's colours on their clone's armour. Dark greyish, with a hint of purple. I still can't get it right. The bottom of the cloak looks that way (ragged) because that's how the sculpt is. He also looks awkward on the posts because he had to be pinned through his heels (8mm right protrusion, 4mm left) and not the ball of his feet (too tricky and not robust). it was tricky enough having the long pins run parallel down into the plastic beams.
