writes:I recently found a lost sprue in my unpainted pile, so I assembled and painted the figure.
I'm calling it 'Space Mechanic', but I'm hoping someone out there can identify it for me.
The figure consisted of body and separate right arm, plus the base. Gluing the arm on was a little tricky, as there was only a tiny contact area.
I have no idea how this figure ended up in my unpainted pile. Free figure with a magazine? Free sample? Free hand-out at a show?
I decided her outfit was a uniform, and painted it with basecoat, highlight and wash.
The tool was painted metallic, highlighted with a silver permanent marker, and shaded with an armor wash. (Is that thing hanging from the wrench supposed to be a toy?)
For secure storage in magnet-lined boxes, I glued a steel disk under the base.
