More Finecast Fun...

It's probably wise to draw our readers attention to this. I make no apologies for the language used in the linked blog post, I'd swear too under those circumstances. I guess this particularly affects those of us in warm countries, although it's been hitting 30 Celcius in the conservatory where I work.

On a secondary note, I received a replacement Captain Stern this morning. Also miscast with bubbles knocking off the corner of the cloak, heels and top portion of the bolter. Warping / mould slippage is less noticeable, though the lens on the armour is still off-circular, and will need resculpting. Nice one, GW. I've asked for another replacement. At this rate I will have a half-dozen Sterns, all of which needing varying amounts of work.

Sanguinary Phalanx Chapter Master WIP (3)


More progress on this chap. The gold will be brought up with the SETMM technique as used on the shield and the feathers on the wings will be up to white (same as the main shield colour). Not quite sure what colour to do the power sword yet, probably a gradient blue, similar to Lorenzo's on the Space Hulk commission I did, with OSL working onto the metal and face.

As ever, click the image for a larger view.

I will get some new shots of the individual units too soon.
I will get a picture of the WIP Venators if a get a chance later on :)
