Weekend Report 27/9/09

Well, not much to show here unfortunately. I quit my job a couple of weeks ago, but have been busy with other things, so not much time for modelling. I have had some small progress on one model though.


















Converting this guy from the old plastic terminators to make him look more like the current terminators, and more active too. Mostly finished on the top half, but right now he looks a bit top-heavy, need to do some work on his legs.

Hopefully will get more done soon! :)

Weekend Report 10/8/09

So I figure the best way to start this blog rolling is to start posting pictures!


I have no idea where this model comes from. I found it amongst several bags of metal minis all labelled £3. Possibly from the GW great lead sale many moons ago? Might not be though, as the tab on the base has no sign of GW on it anywhere, on the front it says P25 or something, and the back it says MARAUDER, but it came with a GW base, so I'm rather at a loss. Anyway, felt like trying out this painting from a white basecoat, think it's turning out quite well so far. I dunno what colour to paint the hat, was gonna go for brown, but that would match his hair too much, so thinking a black/grey colour?


Here are just some other things I'm working on. Testing out a technique on the fire dragon, I fear that if not done properly it will end up a mess and look rubbish, which it looks like it might. Also did the flames on the marine, not bad so far on him.


Finally, a preview of my ongoing sniper/autocannon conversion. It will mount the longer-barreled autocannon from the heavy weapons team box about where the square is on the side, so i decided to use plasticard and make the whole sentinel symmetrical. I have done a bit more work since this photo was taken, will post later. Mind you, this sentinel has been in construction for quite a long time, so the end product may end up fairly different from my original plan!

EDIT: I'm gonna have to figure out a better way to layout this blog! Expect to see things jump around a bit in the next few weeks lol!
