So have been busy on the Modelling front - taking time to play Movies and chillax.

I have a Man-cave set up ATM which is prime for being a Geek.

Projects ATM -
1.Stripping/Painting like 160 Models....(2nd Hand Bargain of a lifetime)
2. Buying 2 more Foldy-trestles (They are a Gamers best friend )
3.Terrain - addicted to it now *sigh*
4. Thunderhawks - need to paint :(
5. Redo top of Emperor Titan for the Thunderhawk Carrier Version - some kind of 'Long Spotter' Imperator apparently ..
















More....

Titan took about 8 months to paint - about 18 months to build - had a blog for aaaages..

This blog will mostly be about the 4 Thunderhawks though, and possibly some terrain stuff.

Looking forward to the Thunderhawks... should augment that impressive collection of Titans you have quite nicely . Will be really awesome to see them on TOP of that huge titan... although I was thinking of the storm raven when I read your post. Not sure how thunderhawks will fit

Also, what is a Foldy-trestle? Some kind of Australian hobbying aid, or just a term I'm not aware of?

Gotta keep you chaps coming back - 'Dangling the Carrot' So to speak.

Tonight I promise

@Ritiides - Just a foldable plastic Table - about $50 bucks from a H/ware store here called 'Bunnings' - they are easily stowed/moved - and you don't give a crap about getting paint on them

Eh? Poker tables are square while many folding tables are rectangular. I prefer the latter since I need room for lots of paint, boxes of minis, scattered mobs of assembled models, random odds and ends, tools, tubs of procrastination, a jar of despair, drinks, and about a 1x1 bare spot where I actually do the work on the minis.

Glad to see Akira back and posting cool stuff!


The secret to painting a really big army is to keep at it. You can't reach your destination if you never take any steps.

I build IG...lots and lots of IG.

Ok Chaps, fellow Dakka Bretheren - posted this in Mosh pit and thought I would share here also.

There is a Brill thread in Mosh pit called "Keep Poking me because I have unpainted Mini's".

Some of the DCM's are way Talented (Make me feel like a Monkey flinging Poo)

So here is the thing - I need enough Thunderhawks to transport my 1st Company. Second Company has Razorbacks, 3rd has Drop pods.

So here is the Command TH WIP. Also - flagrant Imperator Photobombing

Just to give you some idea as to the 'look' I am going for.

[Thumb - Dakka 30.jpg]
1 TH still to be assembled as yet - but a lot of work to go.

[Thumb - Update Workbench.jpg]
MUST have good movies in Background whilst painting.

Gold is hard to paint decently without streaks. Looking @ Airbrushing soon.
