[LPC]1st Squad (Tac) Norm 2 almost done (for topcoating)

Time for an update (though not the LPC-kind required update as per LPC rules).

Another marine (almost) done! But alas, having a photo op of your fig thus bring out the best, and the worst, of it. From the pic below, I just remembered to get rid of that gash-o-paint on the upper part of the backpack, to 'trim' that Mithril Silver highlight on the bolter and fix that rogue highlight on the left couter. You may also notice the mould line at the bolter... boo-hiss!


Here's the next to be done for the squad. Assembled (Grnade) marine to be holding one in his left hand (simple cut-and-paste of the arm/hand+ a grenade) and the (2iC) with a conversion MkIV helm. I also need to put a small BA blood drop onto the left greave of (2iC) as well as on the backpack of (Grnade). Regarding the MkIV helm: I wanted the skull so I chose that particular helm to sculpt on (again, no way to acquire the bit). They needed their bases done as well.


Before I go and undercoat these boys, I need to do Corbulo and the Attack Bike sidecar stuffs as well so I could undercoat these all in one go.

[LPC] Opening moves...

Alrighty, I've commited myself to the Challenge...

To start off, the pic below shows my commitments:

• the left half of the cutting board (including the leftmost plastic tray) is the 10-man tac squad+rhino I want completely painted up. Most of these may look done already but no: only those two on the top rhino hatch are 100% done, the rest needs either:
• final details (like highlights and weathering, as the case of the rhino)
• missing bits (like their handheld weapons, the row of painted marines in front of the rhino)
• paint up to standards
• assembly and paint
• upper right half: the Venerable Furioso Dreadnaught I have spotlighted in this thread. Still some ways off, but I'm confident it'll be completely painted for the challenge
• lower-rightmost of the pic is the tray containing the bits and bobs I'll use for the Multi-Melta Attack Bike sidecar with passenger/gunner scratch/conversion... (no, the dice is just there coz I got lazy putting it somewhere else)
• middle tray-lower right: My converted Corbulo, a few things left to do before I paint him: WYSIWYGing on the Red Grail (it's inside that 'container' just below the bottlecap he's mounted on) and his bolt pistol (just below the aforementioned container, obscurred by the tray lip

Now to get myself to painting
