Tygwyn Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Elmo, quick one, what kind of glue do you use for the weapons post-painting? Do you mask off and then use poly-cement or are you a superglue guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 I use Revell Contacta Professional plastic glue as it works well, has a needle applicator for perfect dosage and is available locally at a good price. I tend to just scrape the paint from the joints with my scalpel before gluing together. Has worked well so far :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygwyn Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) That's the glue I use too, I'm giving up on superglue, the joints are always just too brittle! Scraping away it is... Thanks! Edited May 7, 2016 by Tygwyn elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenz Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Now that is an impressive sight to behold Elmo! And quite the inspiration. Its one thing to imagine that much PA, another to see it all laid out Good luck! elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Progressing well - 3 evenings painting gone and the bodies of the first 2 tactical squads are about 90% done. Next week will see these finished and the start of the next 2 tactical squads. It is looking good to have this first vow complete in 4 weeks time then I have the remainder of the 3rd to do along with the characters so I hope to have a full company completed by the end of the ETL :) Interrogator Stobz, Lostrael, Raztalin and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Raeven Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 "What? The Blood Ravens stole all your gear right out of your hands? Say what?! They took your hands as well?!" They are coming along nicely! I like the pose of the last sarge, it looks like he's surrendering after seeing the mutilated hands of his squadmates elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenz Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Geez Elmo, I've just finished base coating my first tactical squad. Base coating!

elmo Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks brothers - just noticed I have mixed up the Sgts from the 1st and 3rd squads ..... nevermind as there is no points difference ;) And my Cat stole my Chaplain That is cats for you - daemons of Chaos... Geez Elmo, I've just finished base coating my first tactical squad. Base coating! I can't decide if this is inspiration or not hahaha Once I get motivated there is no stopping me - I tend to get a production line going and a good audio book in the background and time just flies ;) "What?

Epher Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 They are a very clean looking couple of squads! Well... Except for the sergeants, their robes will fail inspection by their company master. I am digging the head and sword swap! elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Seriously I have base coated 3 bikes. Just the bikes mind not even the riders. Uggh. You are a legend. elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
