Spent a lot of #HobbyStreak day 388 just sorting through bits trying to figure out my next step... Curtains! Also some progress to working out how to fit the meltaguns as I removed their little shield-mounts to fit the statues

Oh, then disregard everything ๐Ÿ˜†

Except the well wishes etc... Go for it and good luck!

Hey, if the details work for you then go for it! Always worth asking for specifics, especially from the hiring manager and prospective peers during the process

Job titles in games being a nightmare of inconsistencies aside...Do you do much management at the moment? Generally (see above) management roles have less say in product/creative strategy and are usually focused on team development/growth. Directors tend (again ^) to be more product/creative

Progress for #HobbyStreak day 387:
Continued to work on the couch-carapace gap filling and starting to refine the shapes, and found a head that better fits the scale of this thing. Took a while to adjust the cuts, and it's not as large as I originally wanted, but I needed something elegant

Mixed bag for #HobbyStreak day 386:
Roughed in some greenstuff to fill the big gaps so I have a base to better blend them once cured.
Started playing with face options - the Sphinx head is much smaller than I thought.
Then spent a bunch of unexciting time sorting bits boxes. Yay.

Starting to actually glue things in place for #HobbyStreak day 385, which is a relief because this was starting to feel more like whittling ๐Ÿ˜…
Still got a whole bunch of greenstuffing to do to probably blend these bits together, but the vision is real!

AI. They are selling AI. That whole industry is such a flimsy house of cards and everyone invested desperately needs it to find enough relevance for them to profit before it collapses

I'm presuming the whole backpack is a separate bit, so should be easy to swap for a regular marine 'pack

It doesn't look like anywhere near as much work done for #HobbyStreak day 384 as it was, but I got the couch better situated and figured out a way to get in the funny statues that hold up the... Shelf?

I enjoyed making that War Dog so much I felt confident enough to start a conversion for #HobbyStreak day 383 that I've had planned for a very long time... Still mostly dryfit as is my want, but it's coming together suspiciously well so far

Kitbashing and converting calms my brain too. I think there's something inherently healing about making things.

Final details, a bit more weathering, finishing the base, and my custom War Dog Executioner is finished for #HobbyStreak day 382!
As with many of conversions it didn't end up where I'd thought, but I'm still really happy with it. Just need to wait for varnishing weather now.

Worked on the rest of the base for #HobbyStreak day 381 and I think I'm almost finished, another weathering pass over the legs and base should do it?

Aren't they matched pairs despite looking basically identical? That was always my favourite part of the old Marine and Termagant kits

Started work on the base for #HobbyStreak day 380, mostly just layering colours to see what kind of stone-ish effect I can get on the facade
