You are upping the ante. All I’m saying is I have started at least and it is definitely *inspired* by my recipient’s collection, but whether it will really fit in alongside I don’t know … it’s tricky to match shades and basing textures, let alone highlights etc. WrathOfTheLion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twopounder Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I spoke with Trokair, and unfortunately the model didn't survive shipping without wounds . He has some repairs to make, but wants to focus on his secret santa to make sure it ships in time. I'm going to go ahead and post the pictures, and he can post additional once he get it fixed up, though it may be a while. Hopefully it inspires others to complete their gifts :) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â WrathOfTheLion, Grotsmasha, LameBeard and 4 others 1 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trokair Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023  First of all a very big thank you to twopounder for an excellent jump captain on secondment to the Deathwatch.  I was going to leave the box unopened until the right time, but I heard a little rattle as I tried to put the box away, so had to open it and check, all is repairable.    5 hours ago, Interrogator Stobz said: Great work Brother Santa, cool spesh parts too!  Bet those flappy bits broke??? They did indeed. Which is only thematic as the same little flapy things broke on my first set of Reivers and I have left them of/trimmed them of on subsequent models, including the suppressors if I recall right.  Raziel-TX, LameBeard and Interrogator Stobz 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Now I'm afraid to ship mine lolz. I was all set to ship the other day, but I caught the Rona and didn't get to the post shop as the old ladies there don't want me to infect them. Early next week for sure...and I'll recked the packing to keep it safe(r). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 So mine is boxed and will head out tomorrow, I got more done than I originally planned with the base, but less than I wanted to get done.

WrathOfTheLion Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) I'm working on decals right now. Just have some details and highlights left on the painting and need to do the base, then it should be out after that.
