hi folks,
i know i havent posted much in this thread for some time but thats because the TOTG has completed.
the blog is still going strong, lots of odds and sods going up semi regularlly with book reviews, modelling articles and product reviews.
the latest article is a review of Machinators Pegasus chimera kit and it can be found here:
http://millests.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/machinator248-chimera-conversion-kit.html

enjoy and hope its useful for someone
cheers

well folks it has certainly being a while since i last posted here and things have moved on with the blog and the army and as a result the latest modelling project has hit my workspace. The latest being Project Raptor, as you can probably guess this is a flyer based project and is certainly a change from many many many infantry models and the odd Chimera based tank.

The first model that is being worked on is a Vulture with twin linked punisher cannons, this will be followed by a vendetta and possibly, should sales of airsoft kit suffice, a second Valkyrie will be joining the air support.



The Vulture was bought as a birthday present recently by my friends and is one of the nicest things my friends have ever got me. It was finally started this weekend with an awful lot of sanding and removal of large amounts of flash and overcast. Once sanded and the bits organised the kit doesn't appear anywhere near as daunting as it seemed to start with.



Once assembled the Vulture will be getting a matching paint scheme to the rest of the force but will benefit from some hopefully distinctive markings and options.

I did consider magnetising the weapons but given the thin ammo feeds between the hopper and the cannons it is unlikely they would survive storage so I most likely wont be doing that. I will give it a go and will let you know how successful it goes.

So keep tuned for more Project Raptor updates over the coming weeks.


in addition to this the blog will have lots of updates and right now we are preping for the Terminator Armour Challenge Open Competition
info can be found here:

Just an update to say that the Deadline for the Terminator Challenge has arrived and the entries have all being recieved. The quality of entries was very high and whilst only a small number of people entered they have all done a stellar job on the models and i wish each and everyone good luck.

This week I will post one entry everyday and so far three have already gone up on the blog. These will be followed by a vote next monday. Once the vote closes I will annouce the winner and sort out getting their prize to them. So keep an eye on the blog this week for some very nice models and remember to come back and vote.
