The level of detail is stunning. Gary S.

Thanks, Gary! Progress is slow, just a couple of hours a night.
I've got three, yes three, driveshaft u-joint replacements to do, and I just finished with some brake calipers, so the saga continues. My bunker season has taken a hit this time, so I will keep the summer outside work to a minimum. Ya, right, until my lovely bride gets a hold of that ta-do list.
More to follow as time allows

No, just a poor Trooper caught in a bad spot.
Looks like the summer workload has already crushed what was left of my bunker season, Gents. My motivation has flown the coup, for now. Updates when they are available. Thanks for watchin.
Yep it's that time of year when priorities take precedent over hobby and having fun.

Working the Warriors
Well, I’ve got the bug, the bunker bug, so no time to waste. Heck, it’s only been a few months, right? The snow hasn’t flown yet and fire danger still abounds, even the other issues we’re dealing with, all still present. But, when the bunker bug hits, I do my best to listen, and I’m gonna enjoy every minute of it! Sweet, the Captain’s chair even feels great, Yehaaaaaa! There is one thing I had forgotten as I cranked up the bunker, and that is this, never watch a movie you “have not” seen before! Well,…… prep work ain’t so bad, but I never do this when the brushes are wet, that’s foolish.
Ok, taking from where we left off, I started working the warrior figures with clean-up and make ready for primer. Before I tackle any more of these guys, I will address each and every little bit of their dress, weapons, etc. Going back or remembering what was or was not done is a waste of time. Just do it right off the bat, no hassles later, regardless of the tedious tasks required for each one of these guys..
The feathers are proving a challenge and not much fun, but the rest is standard prep work. I’m taking a lot more time on the feathers than pretty much anything else, that’s just how it goes. As you can see, these kits go together decent enough and Testors white tube putty helps clean and smooth things out.
So, back to some feather work before working the next figure. Thanks for watchin.
Cheers, Ski.
