Dark Angels Secret Santa, any takers this year?

[Interrogator Stobz]

Undercoat done.

Basecoat and zenethal pre layer done....

 

[Grotsmasha]

I kind of got into the zone last night and made some good progress, depending on the rest of the month, I way be able to do more with the base than I was planning....

[Raziel-TX]

Dang…y’all are already starting? I’m behind the power curve. 

[WrathOfTheLion]

I found the model I'm going to use as the base, so need to assemble and prime it.

[Shinn]

I'm picking said model up today.(Working overnights at Amazon sucks) Plan to get dug in after a nap and at least assembled today and primed. Going to do my best to push myself on painting

[Interrogator Stobz]

Good progress, 15 minute minis Paint themselves as they say.

Shading and glazing done....

Unfortunately had to change up plans a little due to part sizes. Have paint going on now though.

[twopounder]

Whew, that was a bit crazy. Dropped and shattered on my tile floor, but I managed to rebuild. Should be able to ship soon. Just need to figure out the packaging. Seems like these things never arrive in one piece.

 

Here is a little teaser. Sorry, the image just turned out too well not to tempt with

Checks calendar….ya’ll realize it’s only the beginning of Nov, right?  
 

All this talk of slabbing paint on minis and shipping minis is putting me to shame.

In all fairness, shipping in december is a real toss of the dice to see if it arrives on time. Some packages arrived in januari last year. When Black Friday hits, all bets are off with international postage. The extra month should be a real gift. Make it a secret Sinterklaas, he's the OG Santa anyway

TBH, the fear of letting someone else down is a great motivation. 

Chipping away at the normal pile-o-shame is a different matter.

[Raziel-TX]

Got a model together and managed to get him primed.  

[Interrogator Stobz]

Highlights, bling, weapons, freehand stuff all done.

Basing then posting....

[Raziel-TX]

We post before we send?

I believe by "post" he means "ship". Lingo is a bit different outside the US.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Ah yes, I forgot we have non English speakers here 

Jk, Post means ship or show Pictures/comment; Ship means large boat or post a large thing by actual ship; Mail means send small item, usually by airmail.

Send means both. Courier means mail overland by fast means, Post also means normal speed mail (which is the same as Courier but different fo no reason).

Don’t forget we also sh!+(sp) post…thanks for the clarification.  
 

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Basing material glued on.... waiting time for drying results in outdoor activities and adulting, not ideal.

[Lostrael]

I finished the model. Just some pictures for later and it can be shipped. 

[Raziel-TX]

Same here…waiting on someone to send their shipping info :P 

[Grotsmasha]

On that note, if you didn't provide a first and last name with your postal details, please do so in my PM with you as it turns out it's mandatory for all customs forms.

[Interrogator Stobz]

All finished up now, that was fun.

 

I've done the basing my way without checking first like a noob, so he may not fit "seamlessly" into my recipient's army. 

Merry Christmas nonetheless. 

 

Will look to post,ship,send,mail the wee dude tomorrow.

What matters is the effort and completion of what may be the most important oath on the forum. Its always good to see people connecting across the world, especially these days 

[Shinn]

Model is built and primed..but I've hit a little snag after getting injured at work and surgery on my wrist. I will complete my oath though..it just may not be at the level I was hoping to put out. :/
