The Eagle, Deathwing Land Raider, Has Landed!

I'm so excited!  More so than painting it and seeing the result of the auction.  The Ebay Deathwing Land Raider has been delivered and is at its home.

My baby has left the nest

It is in the hands of the USPS and on its way to its new owner.

I never thought this day would come (Ebay Deathwing Land Raider)

While working on my Crypteks and fixing several broken Necrons I looked at the Ebay Deathwing Land Raider again.

I'm feeling very much like David Tennant in End of Time part 2.  He looked straight into the camera and said "I don't want to go."  One can feel the raw emotion in that scene.  That David actually didn't want to stop being the Doctor.  Yet he had to.

It's done! 10 days ahead of schedule.  Thought the last two parts would take a week to complete.  Nope.  Just about 5 hours.  Painting surprises me at times.  What you think would take long finishes surprising quickly.  What you think is going to be quick takes far longer than expected.

Time to paint the sponsons, again.  Didn't like how the sponsons turned out after the first time.  The Matt White was too watery and mixed with the previous layers too easily.  Decided to start over.

Figured out instead of holding the sponson and getting paint all on fingers and smudging it I'd use the sponson arm.  Worked extremely well.

Started sponsons last night.  Wasn't til I started them I realised how far I was along on this model.  I'm extremely hopeful I will meet the Oct 31st, now Oct 30th, deadline to complete this model.

Finally some progress.  What I consider progress.  This weekend should be especially fruitful.  Fighting off the gentle arms of Morpheus with all my might.

Nice amount of work completed yesterday.

Tracks and doors.

Ebay Deathwing Land Raider part 4

Put about 5 hours in today.  Surprising how fast this is going.  No doubt the detail I require will land and slow it down.  Then I'll get worried about the deadline.

All parts except one I missed watered down Boltgun Metal.

Was able to put a couple of hours in Wed and Thurs.  Plan on spending about 9 hours painting today.  Perhaps that will really move this model along.

I'm sure this will go way past part 10.  Expecting at least 20 parts.  Surprised at the amount work accomplished tonight with the little time I had.  Really have to get that under control.

Completed the Deus Ex Machina part.  Quite pleased with it.

Begin work on Ebay Deathwing Land Raider. The day I've been waiting for.

Time to start the project I've been planning for over a year.  Land Raider, Forgeworld doors and new brushes oh, my!  Time to get this party started.
