Eldar Jetbikes Second verse same as the First

A pile of bits which will become Eldar jetbikes.

More harlequins done

So I'm setting into three of the large projects before me fairly well, keeping momentum in all. First the harlequins. 

Here we have the next four finished except for the basing, which I'll do once the next three are done.

Next we have a mechanicus army I will be assembling for my friend Jake, which he will then send off to some foreign bloke. That's what they call each other over there, or at least what I've learned from television. I decided to start nice and easy, with the thralls. Three pieces including the base. 

Hocus pocus and 'poof'

Most of the arms required me to boil water, and refit the arms. Dipping the arms by holding the gun barrel and a few seconds, ready to go. Insert on to the body, squeeze, dip in cold water, and you've got a nice fit, already to go.

I'll post my efforts on this jerk next week.

Hey! That's a lot more then three parts.

On a final note here is a link to the Realms of Chaos 80s blog. This post is a collection of photos of Tony Acklands art from a recent old hammer event in England. Mr. Acklands madness brought forth with pencil, an example of one of the depraved minds that created the greatness of warhammer. Games Workshop's artist today simply have too much sanity.

Eldar Alaitoc Crimson Hunters part 2

Here are two sessions of assembling these guys.

Alaitoc Crimson Hunters part 1

While waiting for some feedback and a modelling tool decided put some time into my Eldar Alaitoc army.

The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love Completed - Not What I Wanted

The Eldar army is done on time.  However...

The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 6 - 192 mins remain

Didn't put nearly as much time at the table as I wanted to last night.

Looks like metal picked up cancercasts frailties while being stored in the same baggie together.

The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 5 - 444 mins remain

Another session and the last of the models are base-coated with exception of four wave serpents.  Those will be terribly easy to base-coat.

If I Ever Assemble Another Wraithguard Again it'll be Too Soon a.k.a. The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 4

Telling you assembling these wraithguard is killing me softly with their song.

Looks like I missed a bit.

The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 3 Finecast vs White Metal

Here are some pics from a couple of weeks ago when this army was on my table.

This army was packed into ziplock baggies.  Sorted by the type of unit.  These cancer cast and metal rangers were in the same bag together.  Most of the easily-warpedcast rangers barrels were broken off.  Pinning was involved to reattach them.

The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 2

Looks like I forgot to post pics from the last time this army was on my table.

Assembling some wraithblades.

The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 1

Here's an army from my brother Bryan.

The box of eldar minus a few boxes of wraithguard and foregworld avatar.

Crimson Hunter S.I. Comleted

Here's this sexy guy with his base.  Really like the flow of the stand and the model.

Crimson Hunter Base Completed

This base taught me a lot.

Ripped off the mistake basing, which was surprisingly easier than expected.

Crimson Hunter Flyer Base part 1 a.k.a. My Favourite Mistake So Far

Hope everyone enjoys their day of gladiatorial games.  Today I'll be painting and watching some movies.

Eldar Guardians Completed

These guys were finished weeks ago.  Finally got around to cropping the pics.  Enjoy.

On pill bottles and ready for paint.

Crimson Hunter S.I. part 3

Need to figure out some sort of schedule for doing posts or get to the cropping and chopping pics more often.

Eldar Guardians part 1

Here's the last set of Shawn's models I have at my place.  He has a new commission coming.  Zone Mortalis.  Excited to work on terrain.

Crimson Hunter S.I. part 2

Second draft of this guy turned out much better.  Really liking it!

Eldar Viper part 1

This was painted back on Dec 14th.  I tell you, if you don't keep up with the models you're painting and pics to put them on a blog quick you get far behind rather fast.  I swear I could work on the blog for a week and still not be caught up.  Clearly painting has become primary, as it should!  Screw this blog.  Then I hear my brother Bryan's voice "What about your legion of followers?"

Don't know what glue Shawn's boys used to put this together, I thank them.  That top hull came off incredibly easy.

Crimson Hunter S.I. part 1 (really part 7ish)

Here's a stealth project I've been working on for several months.

Oh, man this canvas is a mess.  My first attempt on this model did not work out the way I wanted.  Which fortunately was a good thing because it allowed me to work on my airbrushing.
