aint that a fact..... really want to get the marines I have table-ready so I can move onto actually playing / building a table to play on

Stu

Current status of things is that my airbrushes and compressor have arived (thankyou DHL) along with the new portable studio, so hopefully things can start to get moving again. in theory im going to have some time on my hands as im staying with family dealing with some still on-going personal stuff (hopefully lis will be getting back to her SoB and Marines as well!)

Ive just tallied up where things are, so the state of play as things stand is this (handily coppied from the master excel spreadsheet)

You'll have to register here if you want to take a part in the tournament on the saturday (and do the lunch deal or evening pizza)

will do, although chances are that we'll probably only be able to commit for definite as spectators for the mo....

First minor update. The 1st of 2 Chaplains attached to the company - this one hangs out with the jump troops




Also started on the strip and rebuild of 2 Ebay Landraiders. Will hopefully get a few hours in tomorrow too. Peace in the house for a change

Stu

have u glossed the chaplains helmet?

Nope... no varnish on anything yet.

The Chaplains helmet is built up in loads of layers from astronomican grey and black wash up to space wolves grey with a very fine white highlighted edge. Its a look Ive used throughout the marines, as tbh i dont like painting with pure white or pure black as base colors.

Stu

I think he looks excellent.

KInG - I think those are white studs round the helmet rather than points of reflecting light

Thanks guys - spot on Matt - they are indeed studs on the helmet.

Not the best pic, but been working on his m8 and a couple of other fellas. Excuse the poor interim pics, will take better ones when these guys are finished (and I set the light tent back up)



Had to put the Land Raiders on hold, ran outta glue (a mission for Friday)

Stu

What kind of setup do you use for your light tent?
Is it home made or commercail?

Its a fairly basic bought kit.

Approx 2ft cube of fine white muslin that folds flat into a carry case along with a desktop tripod and 2 mains fed halogen lamps. It's quite handy for doing product / small scale photography projects but is ideal for painted miniatures.
