After Aun'va and his Bodyguards Met with an unfortunate accident that may have been on purpose(Maybe I just dont like Finecast......)
I have one more model left until I have no Backlog.
None,
Zero,
ZILCH
for 5 months I have bought nearly nothing to complete this ghoul, a few here, a few there and so forth. But im DONe after this IG Manticore is done
I give it until sunday, we shall see.

About the FInecast, I've had finecast go limpy after a bath in alcohol, so alcohol is not safe either.

If I ever manage to fix them, or if they just fix themselves, I'll post an update.

I did use that...........

Congrats on the lack of backlog Hotsauceman - I'm always working on reducing mine (and it's pretty successful). I have far fewer then I normally do.

I've been trying my best to stick to "assemble it only when you'll paint it" and have been successful lately.

Got to use some Green stuff,Made some Unusual Things,and some servo skulls.

Medicae Auto Doctor.


Medicae Servo Skulls.

Working on my FW Avenger Strike Fighter.

So the forward canopy of my Avenger Strike Fighter needs to be widened, but this is the FW semi-clear resin...how warm/hot should the water be to bend the resin?

Cheers,

CB

gonna try and finish this nonsense up

got to make the front sliding panel and stick some handles on it and i got me a fully magnetized carry case that i can make trays for about a 1$ each.

Sloth. All done. Probably some Dark Souls before I start the next sin.

I'm taking a break from painting The Flash and am doing spaceships.

It begins.

Trying to finish up a Drop Pod.

Should do more work on this, but I have the rest of the miniature set to paint. This miniature is from the Savage Worlds Sixth Gun RPG game miniatures set. Tutorial posted for new painters. Will post as I paint the mini's.

Some resin bits showed up for my Rhino-Russ-Predator project. Once my paint shows up I can get rockin' and rollin'. (still short a few more pieces, but I can start).




A notRhinoRussPredatorDeimos...thing. Two of them so far.

Working on my FW Avenger Strike Fighter.

Painted the dark Yellow over the Brown Ink, going to try and do Desert Yellow and the Buff highlight.

I'm working on straightening out the guns on my heavy destroyers and just generally cleaning/washing resin. I really dislike the material so I can't wait to finish this stage. I've tried both warm water and a hair dryer and both have been mediocre at straightening the gun. Maybe I need to use hotter water but I am trying to increase the temperature gradually since I am inexperienced at working with the material.

If you're working with finecast, just make the water as hot as you can stand it, leave the mini or part long enough for it all to reach temperature, bend in the proper shape, then temper using cold water.

If you're using regular resin, i.e. not soft like finecast, use a heatgun it works wonders.

15 lbs. of wargames stuff just showed up at my door from several disparate orders/sources over the past few weeks. Time to start properly planning the army to go with my tanks.

Working on my second squad of MkIII Thousand Sons, few details to finish and I actually have a game legal Thousand Sons force...

Finished reading Shadow War Armageddon,Topped up on bases i have used recently making replacements,made some objective markers as usual,and painted alot of small bits.

Assembled/based 10x plaguebearers and made two small Nurgling bases as well. More later.

Still working on my FW Avenger Strike Fighter.

Dry brushed the Desert Yellow and the Buff highlight.

Worked on making the resin canopies fit properly.

Cheers,

Stripping some old scouts.
starting the long, ardous process of making my white scars up to my current standard.

I am busy making bases for my Sons (fun) and painting the gold trim on my veterans (less fun). Im planning to cast some of the bases, so if anyone wants any PM me.

today,...converting and painting more LOTR miniatures for 1 Ring

Oh I forgot to mention, barring a few basing projects, I have no backlog
I dont count basing as part of the miniature because I tend to do it in massive heaps and in between projects
This means I can, if I stay ontop of things,
Buy a unit, then PAINT IT, then buy another unit, then PAINT IT and so forth and so forth

I have wanted to do something similar to make vindicators. I am glad to see it works!

Well, it works...only just. There is a lot of cutting/modification involved, but nothing terribly hard so far. The Rhino chassis has to be trimmed down - the side body panels need to be invented and the Leman Russ track sections have to be carefully trimmed on the inside, etc. I'll try to do a how-to when I construct my third one, now that I know it works.

I am considering a vindicator in the future, but it wouldn't be any time soon.

Ordered a case for my dropfleet, so I won't have any excuses not to paint them.

Painting. Have a 30K Narrative event in Nashville next weekend, and I need to get my Ironwing prepped. So I have 2 Predators, a Vindicator, a Contemptor, and a Fellblade to finish by Friday night.

Gonna be an interesting week.

Played Jamaica (lost) and Monster Fluxx (won). Also finished my Dark Souls solo run against Ormstein and Smough. By the narrowest possible margin ever.

Weather is not crap today so began priming...



Also primed 20 plaguebearers that I'm already dreading painting.
