No problem. Happens to the best of us. Well, not me.

Years ago, I was on the phone reassuring a client about something or other, and the following words actually left my mouth:

"...unless I'm very much mistaken. Which I rarely am"

CRINGE.

A little update:

I've got some paint on something!

Pan O and Nomad test schemes, first draft.



Pan O are going to be similar to the studio scheme (but Space Wolf colour armour, as I have those paints) and Nomads a dark green suit/black armour scheme. I'm wanting quite severe 'Tron' highlights for the Nomads, as I want them to look a bit Matrix-y, if you follow? I was half tempted to give them red gun casings just for a bit of spot colour, but I'm not sure... too Xmas or Dark Angels?

Obviously there's some tidying up required, but I'll do that as I progress.

(I bought mine from eBay but that's the first result on Google).

I use "helping hands" (heavy base with an arm, with two+ smaller arms and clips coming off that - mine also has a magnifier arm off it in addition to two clips.

I've used it for everything from electronics to gaming model assembly for the last 30ish years.

That's weird. I've owned helping hands for the best part of two decades and never thought to use them for this.

Could have saved myself a lot of swearing at WarmaHordes minis...

I painted my Bakunin in desert look.
My mate's got a Haqq army. So this was kinda meant as a trading post crew at Bourak fluffwise.

My Aleph will be painted as close,to studio as I can get them.
But I might go for something like urban camo.
It's not to far off From the studio scheme colourwise.

My Icestorm Pan O will be painted in winter camo.
Think Svalarheim. Arctic warfare.

FWIW I paint all my Nomads hot pink because future space people can wear whatever colour that pleases them.

Also I am too embarassed to post pix due to my n00b (un)painting skillz >.>

Didn't help with those, in my case. The walls still have dents from those. Thankfully, I live elsewhere now.

I use them to hold the model parts together so I can get the glue into the small gap. They DO hold them in place fairly well.
