Well with @Space Truckin updating us on his WARSHED I best keep up with my little 400pt battle shed...

Resin paint (expensive shit... its like £60 a litre!!!) which luckily I was given, has been put down. So the floor is looking fresh and its super protected.

Win.

Me thinks someone is enjoying building with resin?



Looking good!

 

[RonBSM]

Honestly this paint is epic. It cures crazy fast too... its designed to withstand forklift trucks and pallet truck traffic with just 2 coats. I think 1 coat in my shed should be plenty. It's given the floor a whole new sort of smoothing layer to the OSB.

I can mop this if I want to! Eagle-eyed viewers will notice under the bench a small 45° gap in the front rail. Thats so I can sweep or water push right out the door.

And for those that are interested... the space under the bench near the door is where 2 little camp chairs go and my little girls can sit and join me in the shed.

Getting all the mod cons going...

Aircon! (An oscillating tower fan that works but no longer oscillates... so base off, hang it up, cable clip the wire out the way and its e-z-bree-z!)

Bug Zapper and modified rig so I can mount my laptop out of the way when filming.

And I've literally just taken these pics at 130am because I'm too hot, can't sleep, so doors open with rain drumming and fan on full blast.

Here is a better view of the 'studio' as I like to think of it. I also try to run my business stuff here too, so it's also an office if you like- as well as my workshop.

Magical place.

 

[RonBSM]

don't think I've mentioned my pile of shame video I've got planned.

Featuring Space Wolves, Plaguemarines, Orks, Goliaths, Escher and a bit of scenery... it's gonna be interesting.

Here is a sneaky peeky as I assemble ahead of time....

Ah, the 'you ain't no hero unless you standin' on terrain' look. Classic.
Nice conversions.

You got it! Plus it adds weight and stability to flimsy plastic models lol

 

[undertaker]

Indeed, since special characters stopped being made of metal they lack a certain... gravitas.

 

[RonBSM]

A couple of days worth of assembly and still quite a lot to go for the marines.

Then I have the Nurgle Marines, the contents of Prophecy of the Wolf (yet more space pups plus some Orks, including the amazing Ghazkhull Thraka model), a box of Rievers, a Land Raider Crusader plus painting my Goliaths (and their boat), @LaceyBSM 's Escher gang and all the terrain Making/painting....

(I should point out that I have been subscribed to Warhammer Conquest since it started, hence a ton of Marines and a Nurgle force with terrain from various GW sets- fun fact... there are 80 issues, plus associated extras, so spent a total of around £700 over almost 2 years and gotten probably around £1200 worth of models, plus all the very in depth literature- its a cracking value deal)

And game boards are to be included in the pile of shame as I'm providing 2 tables to Tribemeet.

Bitten off more than I can chew?

Absolutely.

Solution?

Don't chew.

That's the Goliath way!

 

[RonBSM]

Yep

 

[RonBSM]

So thats prints 7 and 8 completed and now just precariously balanced whilst the glue dries... can you tell what bit it is?

Shouldn't be hard.

 

[undertaker]

It's the bit that goes up, then diagonally, then horizontally, and up again!

 

[RonBSM]

The crane... oh the crane. The swearing.

 

[RonBSM]

Printy bits all done and in true terrain maker rather than model painter style... I've assembled it! (Instead of painting it first in parts....)

21 inches at the highest point...

Forgive my photoshoppery, but the war room is messy and distracting! So here it is a little more in glorious colour!

The tile is a 2ftx2ft tile.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

If you can’t see to paint it once assembled, it doesn’t need painting. Yours another model maker that reluctantly paints.

 

[RonBSM]

Models eye view....

 

[RonBSM]

Whilst I KNOW it's not a competition to see who gets the first proper big resin pour between @ClockworkOrange and myself... I can't help but to feel some sort of sibling rivalry brewing here.

Also just had my 5kg delivery or clear cast resin today so I've definately got enough for this tile - having said that, I literally wouldn't be shocked if this took all 5kg.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Ah dear boy, this isn’t a race. I’m just glad the awesome golden orange light has guided you in your efforts as you look on from the shadows of the Trolls great works
