So I've got a good news/bad news situation going on right now that if affecting progress with my vow.

Bad news is I've run out of supplies and am waiting for the postie to bring me an order

Good news is that I have been forced to start construction of what should be my third vow:

I do have a vow related question though. Some of the internal parts will need to be painted before assembly in order for me to do this model justice. It will mostly be a bit of spray painting and hazard striping but would that affect my ability to pledge it? The alternative is I wait until I have made my third vow before I start building and painting the interior but then I risk running out of time.

Cheers

First off, that will likely be the first Lamenters Thunderhawk we've seen - so obviously we're all eager to see it!

As mentioned above, should you choose to paint an interior they can't be done in advance. Should it be so, there will likely be a penalty applied but these are done on an as-and-when basis, however, how long do you perceive it will take to do and more pertinently, how long it will take to complete your current vow? If you build everything else now will a "quick" interior and glue take up more than a few evenings?

[Jolemai]

I got to apologise, brothers, for the very slow progress. With the unusual warm weather there is not much time for painting. But got 1 out of 2 captains painted...

That "Captain" is excellent and I can safely say we're all looking forward to the next one :)

[Captain Semper]

A bit earlier than usual - I will not have the time to update later today...

 

THIS IS THE CUT-OFF FOR THE WEEKLY UPDATE - EVERY VOW OR COMPLETION REPORTED BEYOND THIS POINT WILL COUNT FOR NEXT WEEK'S UPDATE.

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

If that's the case, I will do as much prep and dry fitting as possible, then prime the interior.

 

I want to make sure we get as many points from the vow. I don't see me running out of time on the THawk with a month and half to go and my current pledge about a weekend's worth of effort away from completion.

 

I will have to decide upon a name for it though....that could take a while.

I need to pick up the pace of my painting :/ 
Got stuck with the Banner details on the Terminator Ancient even though they are sculpted. Does that means the Valley of Procrastination has caught up with me??
I've finished the Tycho though and made good progress on Astorath. I'll post some pictures later this week.
I'm already thinking about my 3rd vow and that can be a mistake...

Here's a progress update:

Chaplain Dread is finished!

WIP for Captain Slam and a Heavy Flamer Devi Squad

Squad just need basing, and the Captain needs Washing and highlighting/edge highlighting.

I honestly don't think I have the point density at this time to reach that. I mean come on, I can't compete with stormbirds and thunderhawks .

Green bases, red lascannon tips? Oh that's so me

[Ornithologist]

I spent a better part of 2 hours debating to myself what colors to paint the weapons on the dread. 

 

In the end I based it on the 2nd ed Chaplain sculpt, painting. You know, the best one. I have like 3 of them already.

 

I'm going to strip and repaint one later, but not for a vow.

Rumour has it I'm a fan of that sculpt...

So work has decided to screw us again, they are sending me away from home for a few weeks.

I am still making progress, here's an update on my Relic Sicaran before detailing and weathering:

ETL VI - WEEK 6 UPDATE

[Majkhel]

I got stuck in the details again. I can't help it - the model simply begs for that sort of attention

I wish I were nearly that good at small details.

Thanks, but it's very simple really - just keep moving your shaking hands along one line. Works for me almost every time

I'm a big fan of these for shaky hand syndrome now I'm getting old and trembly. Less useful when shaky hands are a key part of the technique though!

[Silas7]

Great job guys! I myself had to invest in some steel balls to help mix my dropper bottles. Gotta finish a few details but life has been hogging all of my time.

[Charlo]

That scrollwork is beautiful.

It is Mandaloriano Pattern, . Instead of using Heavy Bolters for the Sponsons i used some Hurricane Bolters from a Stormraven kit.

[Captain Semper]

OK guys - had a very busy week at work... 

 

I see some progress here which is good news - so keep it up, June is the unforgiving month (see what I did there?) :P

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!
