As a side project i wanted to build Mean machine from 2000ad in particular his robotic arm. over the many episodes he and the angel gang have appeared in in his arm has changed appearance so this is my version of it, all credit for the front claw design goes to RPF member McCarthy83 and his 40k build https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=282569 i got his permission to use his claw design.
Main construction was EVA foam and plastic gutting other parts were vap bottles coffee jar lids and small plastic bottles and a Nerf gun magazine. the shoulder bell was a plastic dome jar.
I base coated it a chocolate brown then dry dabbed raw and burnt sienna all over
I didnt have any liquid masking so i used normal latex for a chipping effect, i then spayed it with a JCB yellow as i wanted it to look industrial and rubbed off the latex on the plastic parts. the EVA foam parts were not as easy and the latex needed to be lightly sanded over so it lost its grip. i run out of paint so i only managed to spray the front claw and shoulder bell (more paint on the way) this is stage one weathering ill add more dirt and grime to make it looked used
