"Can anyone read High AdMechium? We can't figure out the service manual for our Tauros! Come back! Please!"

That's a cool looking pair of commissars in action!

I wanted to paint it as a copy of the Highway Code, but I decided not to go too silly.

Been working on Fulgrim. He's a very delicate fella.

Fulgrim. these are all the parts that I can't glue on until after, apart from those tiny Eagles, which are just a joy to cut out.

BC if there is one model to add sparkles/glitter to it is fulgrim, you can do it around his eyes because we all know fulgrim would totally go for that glitter concealer.

What the hell are those fiddly little eagley bits?? They're having a laugh! First blood to Fulgrim I can see!

You cut them off the sheet and bother they go here.

Because

oohhhh - that looks like .....fun..? o.O

Let me try and get that in focus.

ah - on the ends of those strappy thingys (I'm sure they have an actual name). Good luck

"Pturges."
And now you know.

nice! Learn something new ....most days!

Yeah but think about what relevant thing you may have forgotten to make room for pturges

You got instructions handy for that bad boy at all? I want to get an idea of how horrid he is

Urgh. I own the Fulgrim model but haven't put it together yet...i can't say you're inspiring me!

EDC

Stay safe Buttery! Lots of blood in the recent pics, don’t want this to turn into a Khorne project.

And wow, that’s a lit of fiddly, tiny, detail work. Looking forward to seeing him done.

Unless you shed blood at some stage during a model build you've not invested yourself enough

Seriously though, look after those fingers BC

The instructions for Fulgrim don't exist on Forgeworld's site any more. Used to be there was a url to follow on his packaging. There are large areas with no explanation, such as the lappets (Eagles), standard top, cape construction, etc.

The ribbons on his cloak have large lumps of flash in between them that look dreadful if viewed from behind. I carved those out, and then fumbled the scalpel. One of those tiny cuts that just wouldn't stop. It wasn't serious.

There's no way you can cut those eagles out without blood sacrifices to Khorne, willingly or not.

Every single project I have ever done has resulted in blood. :(

Those tiny .0001 mm cuts that never stop are the worst.

They're pretty easy, it's stopping them from pinging away into the carpet is the issue.

I was going to say a piece of mesh from a screen door...

I have kitties and they spread this sawdust litter far and wide, I'm not sure it'd work. I have to vacuum daily, so we'll see.

Ignoring the fact I only have fishnets.

You could just put double-sided tape on the cats and let them loose.

I do like to have a cat nearby when modelling, because if something drops off the table, they walk over and stare at it.
Found many dropped bits that way.

Potayto, potato.

Well, Fuller's cloak was a little experiment with the airbrush.

The strappy things are part of the Cingulum Militare. Pturges are medals, or medallions generally worn on the chest.

The provided paperwork labels those weighted straps as pturges and lappets. Take it up with Forgeworld. They also use those words on the Horus kit.

Hilarious that FW have apparently got that wrong!

Sorry to see you had to pull out of the contest. Do we need to worry about the cat?
