I actually painted these months ago, but been holding off posting as there is a 3rd on the painting desk waiting to be finished.

I present Brother Vicconius of the 2nd Co. and Death Co. Brother Mallop of the 8thCo.



Comments and Criticisms welcome.

@ljundhammer is a giant turnip

For the AoS painting competition I have taken a model I had almost finished building for my son's train set, and attempted to make it look a little more model-like. The original JPG template can be downloaded here: http://sega.jp/pc/soft/advd2001/img/pm3_01_.jpg (instructions here: http://sega.jp/pc/soft/advd2001/sp_pmt1.html ). This is a 1/144 scale model, but I needed 1/87 to match the scale of the Panzerzug train being built so scaled it up in Photoshop and rearranged the components to fit on an A4 sheet of card.

Here's the model built, with the original inkjet colouring. I've left the tracks off to make them easier to paint.

Done some modelling this evening....

3 of the Dwarf characters from the War Counsel set (Warsmith, Berserker Lord, Army Standard Bearer)


3 of the Undead characters from the Cabal set (Necromancer, Revenant King, Army Standard Bearer)


Mhorgoth the Faceless


And assembled (but didn't clean) the legs for a unit of 20 Ghouls


Previously I also assembled the Omens of Death set (Balefire Catapult and a unit of 20 Skeletons)

Some time ago my son and I built a Revell 1/72 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 model kit. The canopy has not been glued on as I wanted him to paint it first, but it ended up sitting on a shelf for months and at some point one propeller blade has broken off and been lost. This month my son wants to paint it, so it's time to repair it as it'll look odd with only two blades instead of three. I was first going to try to use some plasticard to repair it, but that was a non-starter as the blade is very thin and has a twist to it that would be extremely to replicate in this way.

Luckily I have some Oyamru "instant mold" that I bought a few years ago, and has previously been used in other projects. This stuff is great, as it's a thermal setting plastic - when it's put in boiling water for about a minute it goes very soft, and then hardens as it cools. Once cool it holds a perfect impression of the item it has been molded around. I couldn't find any "green stuff" putty kicking...
