those guns look so much like Tau weapons. I'm building a District 9 themed Tau army

Any Primaris marines you find... smash them! Those 2W Hellblaster swinging jerks have been a pain in the ass to drop. Especially with Girlyman back on the field!

thanks for that!

If you ever complete it for 1/72 scale I'd buy one for the Museum display

that's just the base coats and a wash in the that shot. Hes fully painted now and the Checklist folder even has writing on the pages

Tamiya spray primer for metal is a good choice if you need the detail to stay visible

non standard wheels too...

Shout out to anyone with information leading to the acquisition of a 1/72 decal set or model WITH useable decals of either an F-14 or F/A-18 of VF-143/VFA-143 Pukin Dogs. Reward... I'll buy it off you or fire off to you a Bandai 1/72 Macross model if I'm buying it off someone else you put me on too. Needed for another vf4 build

Meanwhile work begins on the next two... mods so far as shown. First up are the 2mm holes drilled in the wing inserts and underbody for 2mm rare earth magnets to fit up external stores. Next is the large snap it peg box removal from the turbine engine intakes. This allows this part to be painted white inside and have the turbine blades painted in alclad stainless then fitted and removed easily while the nacelle are assembled and masked. They can slid in and removed in seconds while still clicking into place seamlessly No masking needed this way... bonus!!! Next mods tonight include removing and reinstalling all control surfaces and folding up the lower fins on one model as well as extending the Arrest or hook and compressing one side of the rear landing gear to show it at the moment of trapping

Wait until you see it chained down on the deck...

More pics up in the work bench thread

The Rattlers and Swordsmen vf4s have arrived!

The seats the right scale, I've just leaned the tech forward so it's like he was punching in commands in the MFD. CAGs been bitching about someone wiping his BBC Concert program from the sound system, locking in Radio Hauraki instead, and replacing Bitching Bettys voice with his mothers. This tech drew the short straw in fixing their April Fools.... upgrades.

I hate working with glass fibre. Did an x-wing game cruiser and after getting about 30 strands into place each side managed to drop a tool on it and break off half of them!

A little madness in detailing on the WAVE VF4... air wing maintanence petty officer flicking through the Preflight Checks after a hard night in the hangar. Managed to get some convincing writing into the pages of the SOP folder.
