Trust me, it's beyond touch up! It's a huge great blob of the stuff! I genuinely have no idea how I did it. Still, the beauty of getting several starter sets of Scourge means I have a few spare Invaders.

Well back in sunny Kabul now. I've found out that I'm not going to the site I was originally but going to be up north with ze Germans. This is a good and bad thing. The bad thing is I won't get as much time to paint as I will have to be in the office all day. The good thing is I've been promoted with a pay rise!

A slight update, I've made a start on my starter set and have got a couple of Hunters base coated, I hope to get at least one finished by Friday. I've worked out that I will get one vehicle done roughly every two days, it'll take eight to ten hours to do each one.

Sounds like a plan Mark.

Grats on the raise and promotion.

Just to prove I'm actually doing somethig! Problem I've got at the minute is I don't have a paint station, I'm working on one though and hope to have it sorted by the weekend. this is a WIP, as you can tell by the lack of highlights and the fact the turret hasn't been touched, plus there are a few areas that need touching up.

Thanks, lads.

Update, I've got a desk! Wahaay! Nicked it out of the company storage container, well Thales are a multi billion dollar corporation, I don't hink they'll miss it. Already done a bit more work on the Hunter and hope to have it finished by Sunday.

Good news!

And as long as the desk doesn't belong to the CEO, I doubt they'll miss it either.

Plus, once you're done painting, cutting and gluing on it, you can just bring it back! ;)

Truthfully, I wouldn't care if it was the CEOs desk, he's French! :)

Oh! Even better! I doubt the "sun king" will even notice it's missing!

Update:

Here is some shots of my first finished Hunter. I'm quite happy with the result.

You should be happy with it, that's really incredible looking.
Nice job! The detailing is over the top. Very well done mate!

Thanks lads.

Update: Got three Hunters finished now and a Marauder basecoated. Once the Marauder is finished I will put some photos up of all the finished models. I'm hoping to get it finished by Tuesday.
