Incoming!! The drop pod

Here are some pics of my finished drop pod. It's pretty standard, except that it has been built so it can separate into 3 parts so that the seats can come out. Unfortunately, it keeps breaking so it may have to be fully glued up...

Decisions, decisions

I'm a big Warseer user, and i decided a bit ago i want to have a Project Log on there. I think it makes it easier to get responses to stuff, interact with viewers and get c&c. I still intend to mantain this blog, but rather than have 2 identical logs, this blog from now on will only have completed models etc. WIP shots will be on the warseer plog, along with the completed pics. However this blog will also include some of my musings on gaming, painting and current events, and occasional shots of some of my other models. i.e. stuff that might be considered off topic on Warseer. The Warseer plog will be up today, and there'll be a completed model update here today. Link will be up in the top bar of the blog to the Warseer Plog.

As always, thanks for reading,

Normal service to resume

Okay, so i've been a bit rubbish with the whole regular updates thing. I've had exams (still have a couple more) and lots of other stuff to deal with. I haven't however stopped work on the army. The reason there is no actual update info in this post is because i have about 4 or 5 posts worth of updates to show you all. I'll be putting them out over the next few days, so keep an eye on it. There's some really exciting stuff including (drumroll please).... 3D printing! All will be revealed shortly, including a post or two later today with some pictures.

As always thanks for reading,

First model complete

The first model is complete! I'm happy with how he turned out and will be pleased if i can get 39 more of the same. Pics below.

Now, while this blog is mainly going to centre on my Iron Hands, i also want to put some other hobby of mine up. I thought i'd show you another of my Skaven models, the IOB chieftain Spinetail.

As always thanks for reading,

P.S. no one has claimed the imaginary cookie from the last post yet!

Delivery!

Got two deliveries just now, one from maxmini and one from chapterhouse. The servo arm at the bottom is just some general parts, but a cookie for whoever guesses what the other parts are for! Not that it's hard. Oink is not eligible for the prize as i'll actually have to give it to him.

As always thanks for reading,

First squad update

Well, i got my first ten iron hands today and i spent all evening trimming, converting and laying out parts for them, ready to glue and start studding tomorrow... I'm going to get some sleep now. BTW,  the paper in the background contains some first ideas for lists, see what you can make of it :).

As always thanks for reading,

First Marine Update

Ah, I suppose i ought to start as i mean to go on, with more updates rather than less, on which note, if anyone feels that i ought to be updating more, i.e. i haven't updated for ages, or that i'm updating too much or have any comments, criticism or suggestions about this plog or the work contained within, i'm all ears.

Anyway, the update. I got the marine as shown yesterday painted. I decided to keep arms etc. off as i've changed my mind and i'm going to use him with parts from the Iron Hands kit when it arrives. Should hopefully now get it Monday... I should point out that the highlighting is subtle and so is difficult to see in the pictures. At some point i might do a comparison next to a primed mini so you can see the difference (hopefully not the lack thereof). Though i was really happy with the time it took me, i'm normally a slow painter, and it should only get quicker.


Just to say though, i'm not going to update usually every time i get half a marine painted, only doing it because this is the first model.

As always, thanks for reading,

Jamie
