Wall-e

[Leighbo]

Hi Guys

Whilst I'm waiting for my group build kits to arrive I picked up a quick painting project to keep me busy.

I bought a little palstic toy of Wall-e, which was fairly plain and boring for £3 second hand

I then painted in the details to give it a bit more realism. After this was done I rusted and weathered it with acrylics and washes. This was followed by some dry brushing and glossing of the eyes to make them stand out.

The base is a small MDF base with a foam block cut to fit and then some debris stuck on, painted and weathered.

Its been a little bit of light relief to keep me busy and have some fun with!
Thanks for looking

Cool project !

Cool result !

I've done the very same thing 5 days ago with the toy who grab a "hat".
Notice that the chin is yellow and Wall-E is beat up more than one can think. His chest has seen some better days for sure...

Aww, look at those sad eyes!!

Fantastic painting & weathering, I'd never think of turning a finished toy into a work of art, great job!
