Hey Bob, Yeah, sorry, the photos aren't great. Taken in kitchen yesterday morning using only the range hood lighting :java the texture of the cork is still visible, looks like rubble I guess, as I've really just used several thin layers of dry brushing - primer and undercoats notwithstanding...

Being back at work has put a real damper on my modelling time. :bangs head Anyhoo, managed to grab a few minutes over the weekend to work on the base. Almost there, just a few more finer details, final dry brushing, highlights and such. You should be able to see where I'm going with it...

Thanks for sharing, Phil. Hope a few of these make it down to Melbourne next month. Cheers

A belated happy birthday, Bob! Out of curiosity, was it normal to have the stockade fence so close to the building?

Nice work on Jango's Firespray :thumbsup

[WIP] WH40K Imperial Fist Terminator (13/05) Hiya James, It wasn't as difficult working with cork as I thought (first time corker here ;) ). I think I made it more difficult by wanting the 2 part base. It's a really tight fit, and I think removing the playable base repeatedly may cause damage...

[WIP] WH40K Imperial Fist Terminator (13/05) No worries, MP. Dave, which bit about making the base do you want to know about :) it's pretty much just layers of cork which I've chipped away at round the sides or where I need craters. Rubble is the cork chippings. And a few random and...

[WIP] WH40K Imperial Fist Terminator (13/05) Updated the image URL, hopefully the aspect ratio has been maintained :)

[WIP] WH40K Imperial Fist Terminator Hi folks, Thanks for all the comments. I went back to work last week Monday, so not much in the way of modelling has been done, but here's a small update nonetheless. The base was undercoated in black before I started laying the base coats, using that...

[WIP] WH40K Imperial Fist Terminator Thanks MP. Really been enjoying putting that base together actually. Got all the paints lined up, "recipes" sorted, now just gotta *do* it :blink: Funny thing, when I was going through all my old paints (which actually all still seem okay) I realised that...

Logistics, The Figures Updated April 12th, 2013 Hiya Bob, Yeah, I get what you mean in terms of the batches per type. Makes sense given the colour palette at the time applicable to the type of figure. What you say about fooling the eye makes 101% sense ;) Rudi p.s. thanks for the welcome...

Greetings and salutations, Long time no see :Hiay Been a bit busy lately with work and life and stuff, so haven't been round much. Had a bit of leave over the past couple of weeks due to the arrival of daughter number 2 :yipee So this one seems much easier going that daughter number 1, so I...

Logistics, The Figures Updated April 12th, 2013 Whether painting 300 figures for Warhammer or a large scale diorama, it's always impressive to see this assembly line style of painting. I've read of a few folk breaking painting in batches of 5 or so figures at a time, thus still ensuring quality...

It is with deep regret that I read of John's passing. My heartfelt condolences to his family, both in RL and here on MA. RIP John.

Re: Logistics, the trucks & Jeeps Update 4/14, 2012 Magnificent, Bob. I love the way, and this applies to all the components of the diorama, each vehicle is individual and unique in it's own way. There is no sense of "mass production". Great job. Looking forward to your figure thread update. Rudi

DML is great, particularly if you enjoy WWII German vehicles, but I suspect all the parts could be overwhelming for a first armour kit. CH is basically the collectors issue of DML. As such they're generally pricy, and if one is prepared to wait often DML will release the kit anyway. Wouldn't...

Dave The snow pilgrimage to Ceres is a must with kids. Picking the right day is tough though, as the whole of the western cape goes up to see the couple of patches over weekends ;) I know for Northerners reading rhis thread this must sound weird.

The precipitation is pretty normal for cape town round this time of year. It's really just the extreme cold (and hence snow) which is a bit odd. Snow on table mountain normally melts pretty quickly, Dave. I don't think it really even counts as snow :lol: The snow up in the veld and covering the...

A Pocher Ferrari Testarossa Finished, June 13th Stunning! Really great work Bob

If you're not fitting the Y-straps you may as well remove the helmets and fit with field caps.
