Sister_Miriya Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 How's it going! First off, this will be a very slow WIP of my beloved SoB. However, there are a few obstacles I must tackle first: 1) No workspace 2) Broke as a joke 3) Adulting The last two points we can't do much about now can we? However I recently acquired a suitable workspace in the form of a second hand shed! Starting tomorrow I'll be assembling it and posting my progress on my work area. Hope someone takes a look at this new endeavor of mine because I'm super excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Welcome Sister, we certainly look forward to what you will be sharing. 1) No workspace This can actually work in your favor. No dedicated work space can mean that you just have to force yourself to finish one thing before starting on another. Keep it all organized in a shoebox or some other container and just move it around with you wherever you decide to stop and work a bit. 2) Broke as a joke Again, use this to your advantage. Trade scads of stuff for more time spent on individual models.Save up for some greenstuff and learn how to sculpt things so your models look customized and can have extra attention given to their paint. Also, don't be afraid to dunk a model in paint stripper that you aren't completely happy with and do it over. Look for deals, consider using some craft grade paints for certain applications (i.e. broad areas of coverage) so you can focus your pennies on key things like good brushes and a few quality paints for highlights. 3) Adulting Yeah, welcome to the world. It's where we all hang out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Welcome. I'll second what Honda said above. A small work space and low model acquisition just means that you'll have time to make everything look super awesome. Good luck and keep us posted.

Sister_Miriya Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Thank you both for your kind words! The limited workspace should, in theory, be fixed come next weekend. The shed I'll be assembling tomorrow is 10' x 14'. Sadly it will not solely be a dedicated work area, I have to store my army gear in there as well.

If you really think about it, army gear is really just 40k accessories anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister_Miriya Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 So good and bad news! Good news, I managed to get the base squared, threw. Down some floor boards, the walls and most of the roof despite some fairly gusty winds.... Which leads me to the bad news, one of the roof panels is missing!!!! No idea where it is so I'm hoping my friend has it at his place and it simply got left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Welcome! Fingers crossed that your missing roof panel can be found. I know what it's like to not have much of a budget for a fairly expensive hobby, but in the coming months you might keep an eye on eBay and some of the mini trade sites for people dumping their old metal SoB models for the newer plastics that GW has announced.

Sister_Miriya Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Anyone know a good photo host service? I used to use photobucket however they seem to not work now a days :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Anyone know a good photo host service? I used to use photobucket however they seem to not work now a days :/ Imgur, or the B&C's own hosting service. It's what most people use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister_Miriya Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 So, here is the picture of when I started because we all know if there are no photos it never happened! And the current state that makes me slightly sad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stofficus Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 So your first WIP photos are you building a literal structure. I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use photobucket however they seem to not work now a days :/ Imgur, or the B&C's own hosting service. It's what most people use. I've used Imgur for 6+ years, have almost 4000 images saved to my gallery, never paid a cent to use it, and have never had a problem with my images disappearing. I highly recommend it.
