The box from Reaper contained about half Bones plastic miniatures with the remainder being Chronoscope figures for my GM's Slipstream game. The first ones to get some paint were the ones that will represent my character. Thats right, I have multiple figures for my character!
SAM-66 is the Rocket Ship's Chief Engineer and Medical Officer, and to help him with his duties he has three Toolbots. I wanted something similar to the Drones from Silent Running or the Floating Robots from The Black Hole and these fitted the bill perfectly. They'll be used to repair the ship and my character if he gets damaged and will add some comic relief too.
I wanted my character to look futuristic but not pristine so he has a couple of metal panels that he hasn't gotten around to painting yet but is otherwise clean looking. I took inspiration from real world Robotic Assisted Movement suits (for the disabled) and the Honda Asimo robot. I like the shiny white look that seems to be prevalent at the moment with a soft blue accent colour.
I hope you like the results, i'm very happy with them myself and I think they came out very well.
