Haha. I’m just trying to scale that gray plastic mountain of shame. After this I have five more primaris assault Marines that need beaky-fication and then I’m done…at this scale. Got a bunch of 8mm beakies that need work. 
 

Been fortunate this last week to get about an hour in every night. I got the wings, the stabilizers, and the front hull (interior and exterior) left to do. 

Nothing beats getting regular hobby time in. Great progress as I said.

Those decals look awesome, interesting that you have put them on whilst still in sub assembly stage. That's gotta help motivation too.

Wings with power plants done. Smack light OSL attempted as well.

Front fuselage (interior and exterior) need completing.  Landing gear and ball turrets after that. Final piece will be decals.

Thanks, gents. 

I did use that panel liner for every….single…panel edge.  The stuff of nightmares. Haha


I have used it a lot myself so I know your pain. Often with lighter models I find you have to neaten up the bleed that occurs. Really a pain in the butt. Looks great though. 

Yeah, bleed over/staining is a thing. Though I find my butt getting kicked by the GW washes more than panel liner.   
 

Made more progress tonight with the ball turrets and the landing gear.  Hope to have all four turrets completed in the next 24/48

Had to make some Mk II ball turrets as I only received left sided las cannons and no heavy bolters…though I had left over heavy bolters from the fire raptors. So enter the half and half solution.

Magnetized the turrets so I can remove them easily.  They aren’t as stable as I like but I’m mainly after ease of transpo/storage.  I’ll post wings later but the wings and stabilizers are also magnetized.

I’m all ears for solutions on how to enclose the front troop compartment as the ball turret housing has a huge gap in it. Seems really weird to have this not fully enclosed given that it is supposed to be a void capable craft. \_(ツ)_/

I wanted more pew pew for my assault craft so I added tl lascannons to each side. Magnets so it can be raised up to allow folks embarking/disembarking to not be flagged.

Also added tl heavy bolters on top. Magnetized of course for more pew pew.

I think the white matches the FW decals better, so that's what I think would work better. If there was a bit more of a slightly aged parchment, that'd be best, but that's not one of the choices is it :D

Thanks for the feedback, @WrathOfTheLion.  
 

@bigtrouble, thank you! I’ve picked a lot of tricks and tips from the BnC crew.  Plus motivation from the Dark Angel team helps a lot as well. 
 

BREAK

 

Final tidbits for a little while.
