This is one of my all wood (almost 100%) table top creations. A steampunk inspired retro robot of the gearwork variety (with gear like eyes) done in metallic copper finish. He has two antenae horns and is holding a bright, silver ray gun level as someone! He's free standing all on his own!
I paint and / or finish these with dark undertones and shading to highlight the details and then use layers of metallic and / or other coloring and finishes, making sure a lot of details shine through, often even the wood grain despite high tech themes. They maintain a retro, sometimes rustic look and feel to them, like an "olde worlde" toy or something. -- it's about 5" tall.
