Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with them 😁

Added some ubiquitous skulls, adjusted and shaped the "barbed wire", sprayed, and started painting the big flat disc for #HobbyStreak day 269
In fairness to me, that's a load of textured paint I'll be leaving to dry over night... Then we'll see what shape it is and adjust from there

Applied the decals to the Landraider for #HobbyStreak day 268 and then became so irked by the idea of handling it while applying washes again that I started building a base for it

That's actually pretty funny

Painted and added the sponsons, painted the tracks, and blended the doors in for #HobbyStreak day 267; just the icons, final washes, and maybe some more details to go?

Worked the iron back up, painted the doors, attached the tracks, and started detailing. The tracks need properly painting and the doors need blending in a bit, but not bad for #HobbyStreak day 266

Started painting the 'raider for #HobbyStreak day 265, just working through the various stages of undergrime before bringing the iron back up. It's been a while since I painted a vehicle and I'd forgotten how annoying it is not having a base

Landraider ready for its without to be ironed... I'll spray it tomorrow. I think I'm going with just the doors getting stripes and I'll add the tracks after spraying so I don't have to entirely repaint them

It grows! I realised that I haven't built a Landraider since the original plastic version with the fragile lascannon mounts that this is based on, which is a bit weird. It's much easier than I remember though!
Also, yes, I'm gluing the doors shut 😝

Ugh, the compound curve on the shoulder pads is the worst! Well done though, those stripes look good!

Graham Bennett @thatbennett.bsky.social · 7d

Seriously though, it makes things so much easier 😁

Graham Bennett @thatbennett.bsky.social · 7d

Haha, that's masking tape, but the result should be almost as good

Exhausting day so not much for #HobbyStreak day 262, but at least a start on a treat for myself

Finished up the Oblit... Saturnine Terminators for #HobbyStreak day 261! Added a bit of detail to their huge bases and decided I really like the barren, no-man's-land look so painted the rims and went back to do the same for the squad. Also realised I'd not given two of them bayonets, so fixed that

Well... Yeah ok that's not good

Graham Bennett @thatbennett.bsky.social · 9d

Is it not just Tuesday maintenance? I feel like this is a regular thing.
The lack of visibility is wild though

Graham Bennett @thatbennett.bsky.social · 9d

Refined the stripes, painted the remaining details, added transfers and final washes to the twins for #HobbyStreak day 260
Just the bases to go!

Tarnished the armour and painted & removed the hazard masking for #HobbyStreak day 259 - still some tidyup to do from the masking.
Building and painting these chonks... I want to male a Space Hulk set based on 50mm bases! They really make sense as things that have to work to turn around
