Mechanicum Tech Thralls

It is spring and the garden is not taking care of itself, which means I do not have as much hobby time as I would whish I had (and also, hobby mojo is a bit low). But I still managed to get some Mechanicum Tech Thralls pained. At first, and still, I am sorry to say, I do not like these models. The way the legs are done and the left arm, it make them to reminiscent of mindless zombies, just shuffling along. I would have like a more determined stride, so I tried to reposition the feet, but the way the models are constructed it is almost impossible to correct this without major cutting and green stuffing (I had hoped I could just dipp them in warm water and bend them into a better position), and there is way to many to do that. So I will bite the bullet and paint them as is. But I removed the bayonet as it looked to goofy to be left on.

So, once again I managed to pull of a decent batch jobb. The models are not that detailed and can easily be broken down into colour fields that can be handled separately, so no need for to much neat brush work. There are still 15 of these guys still in the box and they are a repeat of the first 5 so I do not know when and how I will gather the drive to make more of them. However, once they are painted they look quite nice with the rest of my Mechanicum troops, and it would be nice with a full blob, so I might just try to use that as a motivator. I still have a lot of other mechnicum models to do so who know when that will happen.
