They are kind of silly, but maybe the pads without them look really small so the sculptor added them on to bulk up and match the body aesthetically <br /><br />BTW, they look awesome. You've really got this technique down and the color contrast is awesome.

They were a lot of fun to paint and a bit of a rubiks cube to figure out color wise with my scheme, so I am glad you like them.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-7280347852419800972013-10-15T15:16:35.634-04:002013-10-15T15:16:35.634-04:00I have some issues with them, EoE.

To top it off, the bolts on the trim not only make no sense, but are really really huge for no reason, the would only be for decoration if this model was real because they are not evident under the lip of the trim which they sit on, also, the bolts are the one feature that isn't as crisp as the rest of the model making them look badly painted from certain angles because your mind and eye want to believe they are sharp lines but are not. If it were an issue on one model I would say it was a casting issue, but it is consistent across the three of them.<br /><br />The other issue I have is the face and the back fan of the last model. The face and fan look like they are a draft of what should be the final model. The faces across all the rest of Hi Tech's minis are all defined and look great and this one looks silly. Also, the fan is terrible and obviously press molded.<br /><br /><br />If I could do it again, I would exchange the head and cover the fan, then shave off all the pads on the bolts.<br /><br />I know that sounds like a lot of negative features, but these are small issues in comparison to how awesome the models are as a whole.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-76938516356455800482013-10-15T15:06:17.016-04:002013-10-15T15:06:17.016-04:00Seen these models somewhere before... so much nice...Seen these models somewhere before... so much nicer than the GW ones in my opinion.D J Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387272576284456240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-76177763786169920832013-10-15T14:57:28.753-04:002013-10-15T14:57:28.753-04:00Snap I too have these for exactly the same reason,...Snap I too have these for exactly the same reason, far cooler than GW ones.HumieStompahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199060048430605113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-42632004082220371062013-10-15T11:49:00.484-04:002013-10-15T11:49:00.484-04:00Great work, TJ!Great work, TJ!Green Stuff Industrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856233000846206112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-27883302935441873632013-10-15T11:05:07.512-04:002013-10-15T11:05:07.512-04:00These are pretty hot.
