That valk base has so much character already..... awesome work! Is that a laser cut gun? Looks cool! Love to see some paint on those troopers though!

Thanks for stopping by fellas, gun is MDF and card from a firm called LaserCutCard, i was pleasantly surprised by it !

Ah Magos, paint is always the slowest process in this house !

Ahhh I see... I will have to check them out... although I have enough on my table at the moment! lol.... c'est la vie!

Well I wont hold my breath on the paint of those troopers.. lol... still they look full of character and pretty dynamic they will be kick ass when done!

Thanks mate !

I managed a quiet hour or two this morning and managed to add the green stuff power cables and blend in the power packs to the carapace armour. I made the cables last night with my green stuff roller and then squared then up with a couple of pieces of wet plasticard, greenstuff is surprisingly flexible even after its cured.

I got all 15 done so I'll be set for paint after a spell away at work.

Those power cables look good looks more like you used the tentacle maker to do it.

I've been looking for a way to make an ammo belt thing for something for a while, I'll have to immitate what you did here

Ooo, good idea on the square cables.
Looking good.

Those troopers look great. Nice work on the power cables.

Yeah matey , I used the large plates on the tentacle maker then carefully squashed them and squared them up !

Thanks for stopping by and commenting mate ! I've copied your work more than once !

How exactly did you do the cables dude! they look phenomenal to me! when I try stuff like that it gets very smudgy and soft looking not anywhere near as crisp as yours

Really awesome work mate, Those toopers are sweet! really dynamic... those ammo feeds are cool... tempting to get one of those "tentacle makers" .. nice way to adapt them!

I mostly did it by accident matey ! I rolled out some cables on the tentacle maker then squared them up by pressing on them , using some plasticard and a bit of spit !
I let them cure over night then superglued one end to the backpack, once the glue had hardened properly I then cut the cables roughly to length , another drop of superglue and hold it in place with tweezers till the glue set. The green stuff is quite bendy even after it has cured.
Simples !!!

Thanks buddy, I really like my tentacle maker, I need more projects to use it on !!!

I got my great Dakka buddy Nerdy to paint up some of the figures I had no time to paint, with a mind to using them as adventurers and such in mine and Little H's home brew skirmish / adventure game.
Little H is well chuffed , the hammer priests have come up really well , and we both love the Slann "frogman" , but little H's favourites are the dwarves , there is so much character in them and nerdy did a superb job on them.
Thanks Nerdy ! Saturday night games suddenly got painted !

In other news , I actually found some time to paint some of my own miniatures !
A full squad of Anvil Industries afterlife figures, done quickly with washes and glazes, but I think they turned out pretty good for a couple of hours work.
It's obscene how much I like Anvil stuff compared to GW

.

Big paint day today, Little H got a Choas dwarf nearly done, half started some khorne juggernauts and a true scale mini of leman russ.
I just had a go at my space hulk corridors and thought the colour might suit my traitorValkyrie. I'm hoping to do it in the colours of an early war Me109 but that remains to be seen....

Doesn't look that colour in the house.....

Nice toes man!

All that paint and you see my toes ???

Got a good hour in on the Valkyrie before a couple of turns of WHFB with Little H.

Looking nice. Like the scheme.

What, no toes this time?


Valk looks good though, I find myself trying to see 'behind' the model to sneak a peek at what else you have hiding to work on ;-)

Thanks Doc! Trying to copy Battle of Britain colours for an Me109 !

Not worth the effort mate, if the models end up on that shelf they usually stay there at least 2 years !!!

Today I mostly made "space zone hulk mortalis" corridors rusty.

Walls next !

Fricking awesome! your weathering really comes to life on the space zone hulk mortalis! can't wait to see more of it! and a step by step on your weathering technique?

That yellow nose style has been really popular recently I've noticed quite a few people do it.

Great airbrushing on the valk mate!

ZM board tiles look fantastic great use of colours & pigments!

Good to see you finally doing some of your ownstuff, apple gadgets permitting .
