PAINTING - Well at least there is something

Finally started painting while waiting for work.. Better than nothing

Now let me start working on those Crisis Suits.

WIP : Oberon Cup and 40kGT

Well it is less than 48 hours away for the Oberon Cup to be done at Centris this Nov 10 (Typhoon be danged). This will be the first time that I will be playing with my OnG army since last years Jojo Cup. I decided to go for this to at least force me to start repairing/fixing assembling the huge amount of backlogged Orcs and Goblins I still have.

For the past week all I have ever done is assemble magnetic movement trays using old CD cases and the old crafts magnet tray that I have had stored for the past oh ten years ago. I realize that after bringing out all the other stuff I have a ton of to do things before the Oberon cup and I have just one day left to do it all.

Not to be left behind, for 40k there is still the GT and I need to get everything sorted out for that as well. At least I have managed to detail the Riptide (aka "FireMagnet) to at least Tabletop standards.

Here we go. :P

GENERAL - WIP and a game here and there.

Time Space Warp

Well there goes August. The whole second floor had to be repainted and one room had replaced its ceiling so all of my stuff for the second half of August went into storage. Only managed to finish the painting by the start of September. That means my plans to finish painting something has been hugely delayed. That means that I had stopped working on the grot crew batteries after priming them white (and putting on some Vallejo Green) .. now I need to clean off the dust.. (doh) before I can start on them again.

Then I got sidetracked and managedto partially finish something.. and that something was actually a SM drop pod. (well that came out of the blue). Obviously just partly assembled it until I ran out of super glue.. at which point I just started on that Skyray of mine.

Gaming at the Shakk

-Managed to get two games in at the Shakk, the place where I first started to play Warhammer 40k back in the 90s. Got a game with Benjie again using my old Marine army (had to scrounge for them) with me doing a Stern Guard drop pod list and just getting in your face against the Imperial Guard. While my second game I just faced off against Obi's DA army.. Still need to figure out how to face off against Terminators.. oh well.

Working on the Skyray -

I lost a couple of bits while I was moving around place to place assembling the model. One obvious and the other not so. Finding this out distracted me when I was assembling the front sensor and made me screw up some more. Sigh. Maybe I can finish this within the week as I err plan to just stay at home.. (to er save up on purchases and maybe do some assembly work)

Here we go with this week.

So many projects.. Need to focus.

WIP: Second DakkaJet Aseembly complete

Well I have not been totally idle with regards to the hobby :P.

Managed to start assembling the dakkajet that I have. I tried to loot what I saw on the internet before on how he reversed the side engines and placed the much needed extra set of Supa Shootas at the bottom. It looked easy but as always it was easier seen than done.

Had to cut/file away the extra stuff and when I was going to put the tube in I realized that It was bigger than what I had expected. No matter I just dived headlong in and made do with what I did.

After that most of the assembly was a breeze since I had done this before (err except for that rear chain thing which I had forgotten to assemble first (doh).

Now I just need to paint this (as well as the cockpit)

WIP - October 5, 2012

Well it is official, I had been sidetracked in doing my Kickstarter league army with having to clean and assemble 3 sets of Chaos figs from the Dark Vengeance box (the new Starter set for 6th ed gaming)

I had spent the month of September despruing and cleaning all of the models before I placed them in their own little sets of plastic containers.

That was a lot of cultist models really. I unfortunately need to get rid of the ccw cultists and replace them with the shooty DV ones because I have enough mutants from my old LaTD army. I might as well use them instead of the ccw cultists here.

I actually managed to clean and assemble all sets of Cultists and one set of Chosen and one Hellbrute

I figured I wanted to at least convert the 2 other Hell brutes that I have and figure a away to modify the two other sets of Chosen that I have.With Chaos about to come out the door by the end of the week it should be interesting what we would get and the actual points costs.. 

WIP - Long Weekend for some.. Work still for me

Well it was supposed to be a long 4 day weekend.. Too bad that didn't happen for me.. Still did manage to do some modelling work..

Got sidetracked with the Battlewagon build and just went ahead and started to build my Dakka Jet. As always I managed to sabotage myself early on by screwing up the assembly of the nose intake and the fuselage wouldn't connect right.. Fortunately found a way to fix it.

I am liking what I saw in a BOLS battle report on how he was able to have 3 twin linked supa shootas for his Dakka Jet and I copied that design as well.. Managed to at least finish most of it before having to need to paint it.

Unfortunately as soon as I connected one wing did I realize that I had connected it wrong (the gun ammo should be on top) crap.

I have actually let go of the concept that I could assemble and paint at my room. With the baby sleeping there I might wake her up and I am afraid that she would inhale the scrapings from the models that I am cleaning. Since I don't want to work at the balcony because I have to re-arrange furniture I am back to my old desk in my oldest daughter's desk  Just needed to remove/throw out a few stuff and I should be cranking stuff in no time.. I hope.

WIP: Stuff I did on the Rainy weekend

Well my laptop was out over the weekend (stupid Malware pretending to be an Antivirus) and  there was a typhoon in the area making the weekend windy and wet That meant lots of downtime... Since I was not in the mood to paint then  I might as well started to assemble the stuff that I still have and make some.

More Lobbas
Finally brought out the plasticard again (haven't done so in years)  and started to make me some scratch built Lobbas. Might have to shorten out the base though so I can put some wheels in there. I would probably need to create Kannons next time .. well the good thing with orks is at least if it looks haphazard looking, then it must be orky

Now if only I can paint these.

Battlewagon
Started to assemble the wagon that has been in storage for a couple of years as well. I still would have wanted to extend the Wagon as per some of the stuff that is on the net that is circulating but I might not have the skills nor patience and I was procrastinating too long to find out how to do it.. So meh.. might as well just get it over with.

Coming together

Ork Shoota Boyz
Started to clip out the boyz from the sprue and started cleaning them up.

Hmmm.. How many boys do I really have?

Yes all of them are being assembled at more or less the same time. I do tend to switch from project to project and yes that's a problem when you want to get something done to completion.. Still relying on the whims of inspiration..

Also with the baby in the room I had the filing and cleaning of the plastic stuff outside. I really need to force myself to just paint stuff when I am in the room. Here goes next month then.

WIP: What the Hell I did during my vacation the week before

[EDIT: Well this was supposed to have been for the March 5 WIP.. but hey better late than never right? X)]

Last Wednesday after going to the gym since I was bored as hell with my "vacation"  (I was supposed to go to Boracay and then to Batangas.. both events got cancelled.. no way was I going to cancel my vacation leave though.. soooo boredeom)  so I biked all the way to Festival Mall to (amongst other things) hunt for new brushes to use (since the ones that I got easily lost the point.. .


I was able to buy me an expensive Tamiya brush before I went to National and got me some reeves cheap brushes as well as a sakura brush that was a lot cheaper than the Tamiya brush..

Oooh.. I managed to buy brushes

WIP : Ork Attack Buggy

Well during the middle of my long vacation I finally decided to at least start on making the converted Attack Buggy. I thought it was going to be easy.. just take out the screws and pop open the wheels.. Well then i saw that it was using a funky kind of screw.

What the F?

WIP: Kommandos and Dread and Kan Spray Bombing

As a further motivating factor to keep me going painting and modelling wise I will be forcing myself to do  a weekly Monday Work in Progress Report.. (WIP for short.. duh) maybe it will get me to keep pushing myself on the stuff I have been doing. (However for this first one this is  a scheduled post (as I am gone for the week)  but at least this should set the tone when I get back from my one week sailing "vacation"

I had started cleaning the dust out of some of the models that I had wanted to spray bomb... I had them washed in soap and finally placed some basing already for them.
