Progress Report #8: I hate Rivets

Sorry bout the delay on the last couple. I've been out of a number of colors for some time so I couldn't continue any squads. Honestly I've been using that as an excuse to take a break in general, but hopefully now I can get back to the army with renewed energy!

I stared at my first squad of orks long enough and did everything I needed to do to consider them finished tonight. Except perhaps a spray of dullcoat.
1 down, 4 squads to go :S








This squad is sitting waiting for paint. I ran out of a number of key colors and can't continue. I've also been too lazy to go out and buy what I'm missing.
At least there's plenty of other things to work on in the meanwhile.
I really should head to my hobby store this week and get paint, that will give me something to do over the long weekend aside from ripping out my rotting fence (woohoo! /sarcasm)


I also got sick of looking at my half-finished Huey. There is WAY too much work left to get it done in one sitting (let alone 5) but tonight I powered through the boring and incredibly sticky process of gluing on the last of the rivets onto its upper hull. You can't really make out most of them due to the blue but there is 63 on there each hand cut and glued. At least I'm thrilled about the result. :D I can kinda figure out how to paint it now which is even better.

Slow but steady progress

Just a bit of work on a second squad in the past couple of weeks. Still quite a bit to do on them but it will get done.

Silly real life and getting between me and painting.
