Streamline Pictures Heavy Metal Embrace, Airbrushed and Hand brushed using, Enamels, Acrylics, Metalics, and Pastels, This is a first for me, The first kit I have ever built on commision for someone else, When the Client sent me this I wasnt sure about what I had taken on, its not a kit I would buy for myself, and putting it together is a complete Nightmare, it is essential to paint in sub assemblies, especially the two figures, getting them to lign up was one of the biggest chalenges I have ever had, to tackle, having said that once I started I began to enjoy building, After I had Glued Pined and Puttied the various sub assemblies, I base coated, The Robot, and Base, Black, And the Female, Grey, I then dry, brushed, the horny Robot, with Silver Enamel when this dryed, I then painted, various panels, with gold, and copper, enamels, the girl was Airbrushed, Tamya Flat flesh, What little Clothing she has on is Bright Yellow Acrylic, Brown Hair, red lips, and Blue eye shadow, I shaded her flesh tones with Pastels. As she seems such a dirty girl, I decided to give her a few smudges, with Charcoal pastels, the base was dry brushed Copper, with Bronze, for weathering, the Girder at the back is dry brushed Silver, And I decided to add some Black Graffiti, on a metalic green Background, The Name plate is Silver Bronze and Metalic Green Weathered with Black, The Wiring is ordinary household flex, I have to say I did Enjoy Building this, But I Prefer to build kits, of a subject matter of my own choosing.
