Droidnought

Hey Miniature Makers!

Have you ever wanted to take your favourite miniature to the beach for a picnic only to find it has broken in your pocket? Not anymore with Droidnought! 

This little fella is made of stern stuff and made to have no weak points that could break off. 

The idea behind this little guy is that he is super easy and fast to paint so if you have a child or younger siblings you would like to get into tabletop games it is the perfect starter model to paint and then play with. 

To make sure the joints work in the long term we added magnet holes and spaces so that you can use 5x1mm magnets to attach the arms and legs to the torso.

Of course, it is not just for the youngins, the large flat panels without too much detail allow for a different painting style. Rust it up, add graffiti, or cover it in transfers. We added a slightly rough texture to the whole model so it will hold paint better for spray paint scrubbing techniques.

It comes with an eye you can print, but in craft stores, eBay, or Amazon you can find huge bags of glass multi-design craft eyes for very cheap. This fella takes 10mm ones.

Its arm loadout makes it perfectly useable in certain grimdark future games as well.

Set Includes:

• Gun Arm
• Claw Arm
• Torso
• Legs
• Eye 

As always, we've optimized for both FDM and Resin printing!

How we painted it

If you want to know how we painted ours, it took almost no time at all:

1. Brown spraypaint undercoat, wait to dry, then dry-brushed silver and orange on this to make rusted metal.

2. Sprayed the whole thing in matt varnish, then when this had dried sprayed the whole thing in hairspray.

3. Spreypainted on the colours we wanted. used some masking tape on the arms to paint the shoulder a different colour.

4. Scrubbed the whole model hard with a toothbrush (an old one, please don't put it in your mouth after this) This rubs off the paint down to the hairspray layer revealing rust below.

5. Added black dye to the crevices and added magnets and the eye. 

Keep on Rollin'
