Pollux and Castor (4)

Again great feedback here and in the other forums!
Thanks allot mates :)

Now that most decisions are done, the basic skeleton build complete, I was able to look at the actual "beefing up" and adding armor.

For this I wanted to keep the 3-sided (or 6-corner) approach that I also used on the carapace.

 

The first section of armor plates on the thigh of POLLUX.

 

And on both walkers (they now look a bit like Dutch Ice Skaters :) )

 

 

The first armor plates for the shins.

 

Here you can see clearly the difference with and without shin armor.

 

 

While the Green Putty cured I added a shield to CASTOR.

The putty sanded and cleaned up.

As a final detail I added a plastic card ornament to the shield.

And then it was time for rivets - plenty of rivets :)

And POLLUX with rivets - did I tell you how much I like his pose?

 

No, I LOVE the pose :)

 

POLLUX and CASTOR completed!

 

So, what do you think?
Do they look Imperial enough?

Now I will start to look into the other combatants and the actual construction of the street and buildings. So I will browse the Hirst Arts gallery (http://www.hirstarts.com/projects.html) for some inspiration.

As opposing combatants we'll have some Orks. I have the idea of an Ork emerging from a sewer manhole and firing an RPG-style rocket launcher, but I still need a bigger opponent, worthy of POLLUX or CASTOR.

Maybe a tank or a emplaced gun (no walker, as I've already done some Ork walkers :) )

I look forward to your C&C and suggestions.

Cheers

Klaus
