This old toy robot kindly donated his left arm to my latest terrain piece.

I used hot glue to fix the arm to a custom styrene(plasticard) base. I added texture to the base with glue and kitty litter then primed the entire thing with black gesso. Then a few layers of paint to the base and arm and presto…

Thanks for looking.

Are you going to do the same to the rest of it?

Thanks!
Chuck, I don't like the legs.They are too thick, but I had considered using the torso, head and arms for another piece.

Bryan, yes can see about the legs.
But you have to use the rest of the robot for more terrain.
In fact, you cut up through torso just right you can get a second piece out of it.
