After the battle, there is always the problem of clearing up the body parts, blood pools and alien slime from the space station corridors. A freebie model from Curufin on Thingiverse, I'm sure that these little robot vacuum cleaners will do the job excellently!
I rescaled to 56% of the original 28mm size. Although the model is designed to print support-free on the build plate, I raised it up and supported it to avoid the "elephant's foot" deforming the wheels and vacuum head.
After a white undercoat, I painted the little robots in Vallejo Xpress Imperial Yellow, selected additional shading with some sepia ink. Details were added with some red Army Painter speedpaint on the rear lights, Vallejo Xpress Snake Green on the front light, Xpress Mars Orange on the top light. The hose, vacuum head and wheels are Vallejo Cold Grey, highlighted with Stonewall Grey, given a black wash, then the hose clips added with GW Mithril Silver. The other metal parts are GW Leadbelcher, black wash, Mithril Silver highlights.
I have an idea of them acting as moving cover or distractions during a game, or maybe one could be jury-rigged to carry some explosives...
