Even by my standards, Frankenstein’s Hot Wire Cutter is a bit much. 🤣

But it’s meant that I can cut a clean edge on big sheets of XPS foam, and then cut 29 cm strips to about half a millimetre accuracy.

Using my spray booth as a fume hood was definitely a good idea.

*Screams in ‘horrified editor’…*

The new Town Planners realised that their tiling contractor should perhaps have been vetted for cultists.

🤣👍

Hello new Bskies and fresh followers! Just a reminder that we small Indie creators and artists don't have shareholders to satisfy, just bills to pay. And that while Likes are lovely, Reposting stuff is the best way to help with visibility for us. If you see models or art you love, please share!

@fenrisgames.com I’d like to order some custom ply bases, is that easier to discuss here or by email?

Nothing complex, just rounded corner rectangles, but 60x30 mm instead of the off-the-shelf sizes on the store.

Some legible and usable order tokens for Legions Imperialis.

The wonders of 1” hole punches, and 25 mm clear domed stickers.

Any idiot can make a vehicle amphibious. The trick is making it so that it is amphibious more than once.

If this happens then people are going to drown, and worse it is going to be a right pain to recover their bodies from a 3-ton sunken steel tomb.

When I was in the UK military (RAF) we had Hägglund BV-206 all-terrain vehicles that were *designed* to be amphibious. Even then, the rules were that if you went on water - in calm conditions only! - you had the top hatches open for quick escape and wore lifejackets.

Whoop! A very unexpected early Christmas present!

The guy I bought a Legions Imperialis rulebook from, who ended up sending it quite late for good reasons, added in a sprue of three Dakkajets and a sprue of two Fighta Bommas. 😍

I’m particularly pleased with the hammers on the two Colossus (Colossi?), and the Power Swords on the Crusader.

The finished maniple of robots.

These will be used as generic Dreadnoughts in 3rd and 4th edition Epic, and as Leviathan Siege Dreadnoughts in Legions due to the big hammers on the two Colossus.

The end result of the hazard stripes, after some weathering.

I recently came across a painting tip for hazard stripes, paint them in black and white so it’s easy to do any tidying up, then glaze over the whole lot with Nazdreg Yellow.

Works well for Epic too. 😍

I think it was from Mamikon.

#ArmyOfDuckness kickstarter has a new Update at www.kickstarter.com/projects/fen... - production samples, mounted cavalry, and painted scenic bits!

Land Raider Redeemers number 2 and 3 done.

I wasn’t sure about the orange sponsons on the last one, but they’ve come out really nicely.

P.S. Here’s the YouTube video, from Cult of Paint.

The final touches were the weathering drybrush, shading and highlighting the tracks and bronze bits, and picking out a few lenses and details.

I’m not 100% sure about the orange assault ramp, but it definitely needed a second colour somewhere, to break up the green.

Well, a mix of glazes, and feathering out the edges of the glaze with water to break up any sudden jumps in tone.

Pretty pleased with the results, although it was a lot of work for one tank. And the tracks really needed base-coating again.

And then use glazing for the final cleanup and to reach the bits I couldn’t do with the airbrush.

But after seeing a YouTube video about painting Legions tanks with ‘reverse’ shading where the sides are darkest at the top, I decided to do the main shading via airbrush.

As expected, the first coat of Contrast paint was a bit splotchy, and I’d been planning to add shading by adding loads of glazes of the same colour.

Thanks! I’d better copy the rest of the thread over here from the bird place…

‘ONE finished Land Raider, ha ha ha haaaa!’
