Trying to stick an Inceptor to his flight stand...

... and failing.

It's all painted (well, Battle Ready, if you call that painted) and just needs sticking to the flight stand so I can take pics and post in the Dakka Painting Challenge.

1st tube of superglue was rock solid so now in the bin. Gorilla superglue gel was mostly solid but managed to scrape some out of the bottle, although that failed to stick. Probably heading to the bin in a minute.

About to open a new tube of superglue and try again...

Superglues start going "off" as soon as you open them. Tubes are single use for the most part. No more than a couple of days.


Humidity and atmospheric moisture are catalysts for the reaction that cures superglue (it's why 'blowing on it' accelerates the curing) and as soon as you open it, you introduce extra moisture into the bottle/tube.

Tried a different colored primer for my counts as Thunder Warriors scouts.

Finished up 25 more horrors today. This got me to 237 painted, 225 bought model this month.

Next month　less of both.this pace is mind breaking. Also lumineth needs painting and THAT is slow army to paint...

Began my Hero Forge Raleas Effernetti model from my Angaran Chronicles series. Pretty happy with her, it didn't take me like three times to get her face right as it did with my Anargrin model (new paint mix, possibly?) I'm painting them up as I wish to use them for playtesting my Skirmish combat system soon. I was given a whole lot of terrain from a board game from an old workmate from years ago and I'm looking forward to playtesting it with it. It's sci-fi and my setting is Dark Fantasy/Diesel Punk but it's just proxying. Also, it might be dwarven buildings or whatever who were quite advanced technologically speaking before they were conquered and enslaved by humanity.

Didn't get as much painting as I wanted done last week but I did manage to get this guy off my paint table. I really dislike painting horses but for some reason this guy came out waaaay easier then I remember. Which is good because I have to repaint the rest of my Pistolier unit as well as complete a unit for my Cities of Sigmar army.

Next up is a bunch of Wolf Riders I had base coated back in 2017 and am now going to finish.

finishing up the WizKids Transformers i've had sitting around for a bit
Painting my childhood has been therapeutic

Finished building all the Cursed City minis, but till have to work on the bases, probably going to do plasticard tiles for them all.

Also just finished basing and flocking the printed terrain test pieces I made. If I can I'll prime the them tonight!

Years ago I painted my space hulk (3rd edition)!marines in tan and gave them a wash to bring out the details. Past few days I have been using red contrast paint to upgrade them. They look much better in red and the contrast paint is making the work a lot less drudgery.

Finished the last three Shining Spears. These three had to be made for various parts (like Guardian bits, 3rd party lances, old Jetbike rider legs, etc.).



Cheers,

Assembled 4 stegadons(which　had been started yesterday) all but riders, 1 bastiladon same and 1 bastiladon close behind. today will complete bastiladon and start assembling 2 more　stegs and 1 more bastiladon

Finalized my undead list for our impending Escalation League. Well, at least the 1st two weeks worth of stuff....
I've got my opening 500 pts & the first 250 pt expansion sitting on the desk awaiting painting over the next few days.

Painted my Harlequins a bit more up while watching It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia with my dad hoping to get them done soonish for the Kill Team League.

Finished the simple terrain made from the second part of the tree from the Conquest Jotnar kit, and Oathmark skellies bases. It needs to be painted of course

Working on a Kirai core box for Malifaux, unit of Phase 2 Clones for Legion and finished General Hondo for Monsterpocalypse

While I should be painting miniatures...I instead have eight empty gum containers to make underground pipe access for Necromunda boards.

Cheers,

Assembling more seraphon monsters. Nearly ready for primer

I'm building my last kastelan before undercoating my skorpius and bots for the painty time.

Started hacking up some Plague Marines to make some Possessed. I hate the official Possessed models so I have to get creative with Milliput. Also doing a bit of painting on my entry for this month’s challenge.

working on some simple objection markers for my trollbloods and making some terrain squares with some old movement trays

Painting some 6mm scale skeletons.

I heard there are 3mm sclae minis out there. Got to try that! The smaller the better!

Whoa. Those are minuscule. I love them.

3mm? Those huge monsters? Try 2mm http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/indexes/2mmindex.htm

Haven't yet seen 1mm miniatures...

Started painting some old metal Necromunda figures.

Finished my Rhino (see the challenge thread) and cleaning some paint off some old Terminators.

Just finished the catcher for my human team, just need to paint one last lineman and a halfling and I've finally finished.

Just five years in the making but better late than never!

Finished my two scenery project this week!

First one was my Blood Tower from 8th edition fantasy (better late than never!), then my Tyranids terrains that I 3D printed!

Built & primed a Corpsemare Stampede endless spell (FEC) for my escalation league undead.

There's probably something more effective. But damn does this thing ever look cool & thematic....
