twopounder Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Well underway. Had to run down and pick up some black paint. Ended up getting a paint set and the first Triumverate of the Imperium for my niece so she has something to paint other than rocks. Though I could maybe have her paint... The Rock... Eventually. Yes, eventually... I'm hoping she likes it though. Its not wonder woman or a unicorn, but I think Celestine will be a good fill in.

Alvena Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Green stuffing is now finished, i'm pleased and proud of the result. I have washed the mini because i use some vaseline to smoothen the GS so the mini is currently drying before i can undercoat it. I think my paint session will be planned for Tuesday or Wednesday evening, and package should leave by the end of the week.

Chmur Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I am getting a bit worried seeing you all busy little elves... I was on Christmas party on Friday, somehow made it home for shower and to pick up my case for a tournament on Saturday... came home, slept until noon on Sunday and just when I was sitting down to pick up paints I realized there was new Path of Exile expansion released on Friday. So I went to test it for a hour... and left the PC around midnight. Looking on the bright side, my primer now had over 1 week to dry on the minis, so I can go crazy with my masking tape shenanigans and "cheat" some fades with airbrush :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341403-dark-angels-secret-santa-we-love-secrets/page/5/#findComment-4956973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be distributing the tracking links to recipients via PMs as soon as their gifts get shipped so they can track ther gifts making their way! When you receive your gift, please share it with others, then post WIPs etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341403-dark-angels-secret-santa-we-love-secrets/page/5/#findComment-4957705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopounder Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Disaster averted. Shapeways sent me a message saying the shipment would be late, then sent a notice this morning that stuff was packed for UPS with 2-day shipping. As long as the package isn't stolen off my porch, everything is set to be finished by Sunday night. That makes it thundering down range on Monday morning. I might just be able to pull off an early Christmas for someone...

Syphid Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I will travelling for Christmas between dec 18 and Jan 5, so there wil possibly be a delay for pick up on my end. On the flip side, my gift will be done and shipped before I leave. It's shaping up to be a pretty exciting model...!

Syphid Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Done! Just waiting for the last details to dry, then I'll snap some photos for later then start packing! This is the most time I've devoted to a single mini, and I'm very pleased with the result. I hope [REDACTED] likes it!!

Greenz Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Nice! Glad to hear so many minis are coming along. I lost a few days this week. My littlest one ended up with a chest infection, so my wife and I were rather sleep deprived. Her fevers finally broken, so I’m hoping to buckle down and get this bad boy done this weekend Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341403-dark-angels-secret-santa-we-love-secrets/page/5/#findComment-4960910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So I was able to grind it out this morning. Just waiting for the water effect to fully cure. I think he looks great and has a bit of flavor to him. Quick question, how are you guys protecting the mini? Foam? Bubble wrap? Paper?

So I was able to grind it out this morning. Just waiting for the water effect to fully cure. I think he looks great and has a bit of flavor to him. Quick question, how are you guys protecting the mini? Foam? Bubble wrap? Paper? Sandingpaper all around for grip, so the mini won't slide too much. No, don't do that. I used foam blocks.

I have tons of bubble wrap and tiny boxes from online purchases, so I was going to do the tissue paper/bubble wrap/more bubble wrap method.

twopounder Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'm planning on gluing strips of cardboard together to make a small protective case around the mini inside the box. Then probably some blue tape and foam.
