Progress

Yep some honest to goodness progress on real life models instead of just thinking about it and planning what i'd do if the time monster didn't eat up all my free time.

You may remember this guy from last year as a tracker/hunter type bloke for my long range recon force.

Gone a bit mad on the paint job but i'm very rusty, it seems ages since i painted a mini but happy with the overall look. if i did him again id do a lot differently but thats hindsight for ya.

Some other projects to come in the next few days unrelated to 40k but after these are done i'm planning to consentrate on 40k/inquisitor for a while before launching into another kitbash whitch will be 40k related and something i've been planning for some years now.

Hope ya like him.

Happy new year

Happy new year fellow bloggers

I've just spent a couple of hours unfollowing about 50 blogs that have slipped of the radar some just stopped updating and some officially closed down so i've slimmed down the list :) Still got 160-ish blogs i follow lol

2011 is looking like a good year for modelling and wargaming and i hope to get more done and more stuff published on here. The blog in 2010 has been lacking in content and for that i appologise but i think a lot of people have struggeled with keeping up there hobbies and i've been no exception. Here's hopeing this year starts as it means to go on, i'm planning to finish a model every week-ish be it a small one off figure or a scratchbuild. I've a lot of half finished stuff on the desk that i can get started on before attempting anything else but knowing me new sparkley things will distract me before long lol.

Hope everyone has a productive and happy new year and maybe i'll see some of you at Salute in 2011, i'm making it my mission to attend this year come hell or high water.

Back at the desk

Well after a month or more of doing very little in the way of modelling i'm back at it. Been a hectic month with working in Lincoln so traviling there has robbed me of most of my motivation to build and paint but a week off work begins taday so hope to have an update or 2 for the blog by weeks end.

ABC Warriors inbound

As the title suggests one of these bad boys is winging it's way to me for some major conversion work. And as hammerstine is the only one there's a kit of it's not hard to figure out witch one it is :)

But i have got my converted Joe Pinapples and plans are afoot to start Mongol as soon as Hammerstine get's here and i can get an idea of his size so Mong is the right scale, tho that''s objective depending on who's art work you choose to follow. for me it's gotta be Bizley for the win...

Ro-Jaws probably wont make the final cut but if i'm keeping to some sort of scale Mek Quake will be a humongostrosity :0

Aint that just the coolest BFG Hammerstines toting, gonna have to scratch one of them bad boys for him.

Ether Deadlock or Black Blood will follow them, i've got the doner kits already for them, Grud bless Japanese anime kits :)

Don't panic tho as the other project is 40 K related, an Abnett inspired Kill Team.

Unless the right shape, or inspiration to get the right shape for the Corsarius strikes then all bets are off as Simms flag ship is still haunting me, found meself doodelling it again last week.

Still it's good as i think my enforced 5 weeks of little or no modeling has returned my Mojo! sticky horrible heat and headaches be damned!

Heat crazed Blitz

Poacher WIP 3

Well here he is loaded up with enough kit to take down the biggest carnadons in the universe.

Added a carnadon tooth as a trophy from one of his hunts.

Made the effort to hang his scabbard on his left hip and i think it works pretty well.

Built a hu-mungus pump action shotgun/grenade launcher for bringing down megadons.

I figure the sword is a handy tool for finishing of a beast and as a back up in tight situations.

Next step is the painting and i'm torn between keeping it plain and simple or doing a special camo to further indicate his veteran status in a company of vets.

C+C always welcome.
