Wall-E Toy repaint
February 2009
WALL-E is a 2008 Pixar film following a trash compactor robot in a deserted world, left to clean a largely abandoned city. However, he is visited by a probe, whom he falls in love with and pursues across the galaxy.

I finally got this Interactive Wall-E …it’s been sold out since Christmas. It’s great but needed a more accurate paint job.
I applied browns and blacks to build up a layer of filth and applied rust to match stills from the movie.
I applied washes of brown to define detail in the rubber tread and rust and silver to bring out details on the wheels.
I used black to apply dirt in the eye socked and silver to simulate chipped paint.
I opted not to do a full overhaul where I would fill screw holes and make him more accurate. Eventually, I’d like to build a life-size replica.
