Cybermen

[Mickc1440]

Waiting for the weather to improve so I can spray my Merkava I pulled these out of the cupboard as a bit of a fill in. I bought the sprue of eBay a while a go for £1. They are Warlord Games 28mm figures. I grew up watching Dr Who and saw these develop from people in tinfoil suits up to the latest incarnation. I would normally spray undercoat but have brush painted these two.


Here’s the sprue 6 figures plus some of their cyber slugs .



Vallejo black surface primer still drying.



This one has been painted in Oily Steel and has had a black wash applied. More progress soon and the suns out.
Happy Easter

Nice work Mick. It was a real 'behind the sofa' situation when I first saw these as a kid in the 60s - terrifying.

Does bring back memories - Tom Baker was my Doctor Who of the time!

:thumb2: I remember watching the very first episode Mick, think the Doctor was played by William Hartnell. As Peter says very scary at the time .

Just got the cyber bugs to finish. These really are a fun, quick build. Now on the lookout for some more, might even invest in the box set

Looking good mick , who would have thought that a few blokes wrapped in tinfoil with silver wellies could have been that scary to a young kid !! Used to scare the crap out of me , i think it was the blank face that gave them a really creepy vibe ! Daleks didnt really bother me but these had me behind the settee! Cheers tony

With the Daleks you only needed to go upstairs - the Cybermen could follow you! Great work Mick.

That was always my plan Peter until the buggers learned to fly

Not my thing Mick but they are beautifully done. Very impressive. Good luck with the box set. Cybermen and Romans - you just gotta luv this hobby:smiling3:

Thanks Steve. I enjoy doing gaming figures as a fill in during bigger builds.
