He looks awesome!!!😊

[@makingwithmark]

Thanks Cerise! I went round and around on the color scheme for this droid before landing on the final colors. In the end I was very pleased with the combination.

I like the new addons. Both look like armor pieces.

[@makingwithmark]

Thanks Iscog. That was kinda my thinking as well. the chest piece especially reminded me of plate armor/carrier etc.

This bot looks great! 👍👍 I love the pewter gray, it looks almost olive (on my phome at least) that works really well with the black and metalic colors. I love how you did the mouth with that zip-tie piece. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the next vid, keep on keeping on!!

[@makingwithmark]

Thanks Earl! The pewter does have an almost olive tint to it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I'm working on next week's build now! Can't wait to share it.

You should give your robots names it adds a little more character to them keep up the great work your content is awesome 👍🏼

[@makingwithmark]

Thank you Mr.duckyduck! I've actually thought about naming the robots, and I'll definitely give this some more consideration. I appreciate the recommendation, and I'm glad you are enjoying the content! 🙂 Much appreciated!

Great Job What Brand of paint and Brushes you use

[@makingwithmark]

Hi George. The Pewter Gray Matte paint is Apple Barrel Brand. The brushes are just a cheap set I picked up from the department store.

Do you ever make your own Sculpting Tools

[@makingwithmark]

Yes, you may have seen me improvise with a screwdriver or other object from time to time 🤣. I'm looking to order some of the silicon sculpting tools, which I've seen several people use with good success.

[@georgemartinezjr]

Do you ever use Milliput or something like that

[@makingwithmark]

Hi George. Yes, I use Milliput for sculpting, and also vinyl spackling for filling in small gaps etc.
