Shas O R'alai Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Ohhhh Mithril!!!!I still have to finish the left and right arm and the chest mounted missile pods / burst cannons. Sadly, I had to strip the rail gun's power pack relay.....I tried a new technique and lets just say....startide nexus hahahaha. The model is pinned with a 3/32 rod at the hip so it can look left/right and the head is pinned with a 1.1mm rod to swap out. I will not be magnetizing the left and right arm as I don't care to swap out those weapons. The legs are glued and she is standing on her own :DC/C welcomed!Enjoy :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346743-tau-outpost/page/7/#findComment-5097895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Shas’ O’Ralai, bloody hell that looks amazing! The yellow really compliments the grey. What’s next on the painting table?

Shas O R'alai Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks guys! I guess I should start posting these in my own thread hahaha, but I want y’all to know I’m actively working on this massive vow. I understand I account for ~1/3 of our teams points and I’m not going to let the greater good down! Jud, I am going to finish the left and right arm weapons, the power pack and the missile pod/burst cannons this Wednesday. After that the next thing I’m going to paint is the New Tigershark AX-1-0! I’m trying to decide what pattern or design to do on it.
