Chaeron Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Spent what felt like an age removing giant globs of Green Stuff "conversions" from models so I can actually reuse them.

Firepower Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Today in the hobby I airbrush-primed 17 marines and bases and finished clean up in 3 hours flat! Happy dance!!!

Aqui Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Today in the hobby marks me making a start on creating my sixth (seventh if you count the fluff I've created for my version of the Rainbow Warriors) DIY army. Unlike the others, I may actually have hit upon a decent idea from the get go Edited May 27, 2013 by Aquilanus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/5/#findComment-3381010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Orlock Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yesterday evening, in the hobby inspiration struck. When I recovered from the blow, I fabricated the push blocks for the back of my Vindicator.

Firepower Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 What's a push block? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/5/#findComment-3381509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Orlock Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 What's a push block? A block that you push against. Pedantics aside, you sometimes see them on really heavy equipment designed for conditions that they might not have enough power/traction for. Two or three highway tractors dragging the massive SAGD vessel up the ice road hill might not have enough jam, so they mount some push blocks on the back end of the whole rig so some more tractors with dead loads on the back can, well, help push. It's part of why you sometimes see "Do Not Push" on the backs of dump trucks. Some such trucks have the blocks and reinforced frames that when they get struck the cat skinner can push them out of the hole and get them unstuck. Trucks that say not to push aren't so equipped. With the push blocks on the back of the siege-shield equipped vindicator I can use the dozer blade on the rhino to help push it through some slippery ground. At best it'll let me justify more earthworks and fortifications if my Iron Warriors ever get involved in a narrative campaign.

Firepower Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Today in the hobby I managed to paint a passably American Indian (Native American? I can't keep track of pc talk) skin tone on the 4 bare heads of my WIP Broken Arrows. It was shockingly hard to do, and the one that turned out really well was such a make-it-up-as-I-go process that I couldn't replicate it :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/5/#findComment-3382363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasdrubal Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Today in the hobby I kept working on the IA article for the Prandium Ghosts, and planned a Sunday trip to the (not so local) gaming store to get some paints.

JeffJedi Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Today I tried out using a wet pallet for the first time. It works extremely well. I mixed up some paint no bigger than a finger tip and managed to highlight 5 marines and part of a dread before it ran out. Normally it would have dried up after 2-3 marines at best.

gogmagog Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Todya as part of my vow, I finished my two 5 man assault squads, just have to add grenades and base coat. I also put a Librarian in Dettol to remove an old paint job for him to arise anew as a blood angel. A vet of the Mdusa 5 campaign no less!
