Concussions are not something to laugh at, take your time, inhaling primer may not be advisable as a recovery method.
Fair point on Primer. Damian's been around through New 52 so... ten years real time? He also has a Bat-Cow.

Ooooooooooh maybe.
Cold here today, too cold to prime so pushing on with building and The Flash.
Steppenwolf with Parademon invasion force, 3 metal, 3 resin. Bit of reposing with the resins for variety. I had forgotten how much I hate metal, especially km metal.
Have you a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Darkseid?
Who better to fight them than Hippolyta with Amazons of Themiscyra?
New head for archer, as she came missing her original, but Rose's spare works for me. And I like the one-eyed archer look Spear Amazon now has...
Giant axe, barbed wire lasso, new gs fist (wonder if it need a sword?) and enormous hair so I have an Artemis. Love the character (the comic one, not CW or Young Justice), been meaning to do the conversion for ages. And now Amazons are a non-legend crew, why not?
Continuing the movie theme, Mera:
I like the splash but don't know if I want to do anything else with the base. Unsure.
New Lobo, and on his hawg:
Should've left him not glued to stand but needed to make sure the base scatter really worked.
On the subject of puppies, Bud and Lou:
So cute!
Terrible photo of Justice League Dark
Deadman, Swamp Thing and Black Orchid, with special guest stars of old gw shrubbery, courtesy of Vik, long ago. I've left some sprue on swampy's hand to add some growth.
Dark Knights Metal
(Evil Batmen/JL hybrids, if you were wondering)
New GCPD Starter
Good cops.
Oliver Queen, with folded composite bow:
In no way because it snapped horribly...
And finally, having watched The Flash all day...
Not the TV Flash, but The Flash nevertheless.
I am going to hit OMG I HAVE TOO MUCH TO PAINT panic but still. Should keep me busy a while yet

Well at least you have plenty of storage options for them while they wait in the painting Cue. Looks like MM just got in a ton of the new stuff from Knight models, including the big boxes, how are the resins coming out? Are they as good of quality as the metals?

true. Quality is much better actually. Very crisp and the second wave of resins (the darker material, which the Batboxes are done in) have almost no mould lines. But tiny bits are more delicate than ever.
Friday was last day of rest. Finished Flash S3. Much, much better than I expected, proper twist as well.
Meanwhile, I built the Uncertain Scenery lift/crossroads board. More fiddly, more time consuming, but very impressive and well-designed. Some of the tiny tabs are a bit too snug on the support struts for the columns, for my taste, but easily whittled slightly. I mentioned this to the designer and he agreed that this could be addressed in future versions. Also, though, the instructions are EXCELLENT I still made a mistake with one piece requiring a bit of creative cutting/filling.
The columns are designed to slide so that you can have a moving lift mechanism.
(Just to illustrate, you can in fact leave the columns at double height.)
Personally, I prefer to leave them in place, though with the upper level unattached. You also get the choice of what to do with the underside of the lift: you can add a 3mm ring that simply braces the whole structure, or a 1.5mm ring with 1.5mm base, so the underside isn't hollow. Nice to have the choice.
More generally, the fact that so much of it is removable makes a huge difference for gameplay. You can have open, closed, a mix, change for access in game, whatever you want.
They also interlock really well; the tolerances for the clips are spot on.
Although licenced for Deadzone, it looks great with 40k also.
I don't know what they are either. Let's just kill them and then shoot each other.
Another absolute belter of a set from Uncertain. I've still got their Comms relay (with extension, making it A GIANT DISH OF DOOM) to do. I've built a fair bit of mdf my time and these are some of the best kits I've come across.
Started priming the... everything.
All the bats and stuff. Not the cultists yet, not sure what I'm going to do with their bases yet. Probably just agrax like the DG but still. Speaking of DG, I see next issue of Conquest has blight haulers. I'll be getting 3 of that issue then if that's not a bargain, the following has Aggressors. £8? Bargain.
Oh, and I've extended the contest deadline till 14th.

Yay indeed for JLD.
But...
Quick anti-resin rant after primer disaster.
Well, disaster of sorts - not the priming per se, just picking things off spray box -
I knew the new resin was brittle.
Tiny sword blade on Amazon?
Snapped. Annoying. But salvageable with a brass etch one drilled into hand. And tbh will look cooler, probably.
Deadman and Bryce Wayne? Snapped above the ankles.
Very, very annoying.
Pinnable, plus green stuff Dark Water / Ectoplasm; salvageable, but again.
Bloody irritating.
Genuinely, this enough to put me off KM, leaving aside how totally use their latest community coordinator is.
Sorry, /rant.

They are so cute, but everyone is making conversions of them, yet no one has done anything with the front legs. I’d love to see one where the front legs get articulated, even if it’s just raised to say “hi, I’m going to infect you now” in a cute Herbie the love bug sort of way. Probably too late though.
