Today in the hobby I....

Nice work. I feel your pain on the knife work, I remove the Aquila from most of my Primaris. My method is slicing from the skull down.

Thanks! 

 

Finished kitbashing the whole squad - not all as wolfy as the first but all individual:

I recently discovered the existence of Resione Tough 74 resin, which is a purpose-made resin for making action figures from; not only is it extremely hardwearing, but it also doesn't "powder" with friction. I've got some coming in the post and to that end am trying to design a fully printable* 1/18 Firstborn Space Marine to go with JoyToy's figures. This is what I have so far, currently just blocking in details; note that the head and shoulder pad are placeholders as they are not my files, and are just there for scale/reference. I'm planning on doing the actual head to resemble the 2E "angry" helmets, as it's not massively different designwise from modern Mk. 7 but just different enough to be interesting.

My little bits of hobbying for the last few days
Friday - priming!!!  

 

I know not htat exciting for many but for me this is actual progress/getting over the hump of building stuff to actually being able to paint things!

That should keep me going for a good little while. Random Necron added side project / tester

(I also found a half finishd box of grots I've added to the painting pile)

Saturday
Finished the last details from the second termagants squad.

 

Sunday

Started basing the termagants - base colour and  initial technical paint layer.

tonight will hopefully see these finished and varnished

Every little bit helps @lhg033  keep it going.

Some great hobbying here everyone!

So this weekend I finished off my parasite and tyrannofex and started work on my cat cops. 

 

 

What I found funny is that my colour scheme for my guard, but with the scheme for my wolves' weapons equals the colour palette of the MegaKat City Enforcers from SwatKats. Which i was going to paint them as anyway, but tickled me that it ended that way.

Organized my bits box.

Scored a bunch of terminator bits someone at the local GW was just gonna throw away.  Assault Cannon, Heavy Flamer, captain combiweapons, pfists and chainfists for days.  Been planning to grab a starter set, possibly split it with a friend that's interested in starting 'nids or build an opposition force for quick pickup games of Boarding Action.  There'll be weapons for converting the captain, adding a chainfist to the squad (I know it's not good, but I liked to have one in there for flavor), and magnetizing the assault cannon guy with a heavy flamer option.

I am still chipping away at my Artel W pyromaniaks/burnas. I'm almost ready to show them off. They are close enough to being finished that I will photograph them finished together rather than spamming the place with wip shots like I often do.

Today I finally realised that the Repulsor and the Repulsor Executioner are the "Primaris Hover Land Raider" I've been joking about on the forum for a while.

TITH I converted an Intercessor into a Devastator using a Lascannon from the Heresy Heavy Weapons Kit.  I'd been intending to do it for a while but I finally found/made an excuse today.  I'm taking a technical writing class at the local community college and had to write an instruction manual for something, so I decided to write instructions on how to do that conversion - which involved going through it myself to make sure my ideas actually worked.

 

I think I said in here that the arms ended up being a little too short and I was going to have to lengthen them.  I ended up cutting them under the pauldron to insert a 1mm plasticard spacer, so the conversion is essentially hidden and didn't need any sculpting over.  I'll post pics and the final draft of the instructions here later, sometime next week I suppose.

Not a lot from me - only managed about 15 minutes each day the last few days. chipping away at the little jobs. Basing done on the gaunts but till need to varnish them then add a bit static grass etc
 

I have also 'provisioned' a 4l really useful box (stolen from my garage where it was being used for a load of random knick knacks). Cleaned it out a bit ready to make a magnetic storage box for the models I am currently working on.

The next bit after that will be figuring out where I can then store that easily for access without it cluttering up the living room

I looked at my growing pile of Death Korp of Krieg resin models and decided that would put off any work on them, again. Maybe tomorrow will be different...
