Anniversary Update
Here's the morning edition news.
The cracking compound works too well.
This is not evident at a distance, as shown below.
Buy closer inspection shows that it pulled the under paint off the layer of liquid green stuff
So really it's only good for texture, and not finish, because you have to paint over it.
Also, using some super thin primer I brush primed the "nurgle guy", who's irrelevant name I can't remember.
IDK if I'm going to follow the box art for my first ever Nurgle, or just take mild direction in the form of color palette.
Also, I found this in the business section, but I think it should be under humor.
Cheers,

Wraith (Reaper Miniatures 07005)
So I thought the Wraith was cool, but his sword was a bit stubby.
Enter razor saw! It goes through white metal like a hot knife through butter.
The blades are quite brittle, so don't torque them. My first lasted almost a year, but back then I was using it without a handle so it was easier to torque. Which makes them look like this.
They don't shatter,but they crack. So my advise is to keep things plumb and use smooth strokes, especially on metal.
Keep your brushes pointy,

Bedazzled Blood Angles
The Blood Angles are coming along! Nothing like not working to give you the time you need to get projects done.
There's going to be Easter eggs on every one. Here's the first. A dead terminator skull inside a helmet.
To be clear, the Easter eggs are skulls...

Scuptig Tools?
I went to the art store to get some sculpting tools, and that was a fail.
But just because they didn't have what I "need", doesn't mean I went away empty handed! Some glue, a Nurgle mystery box, some brush soap, a bunch of paint, and a brush. Not a bad haul all things considered.
Cheers,
HMP
Also a Reaper Wraith.

Lost Bits! --UPDATED--
Nothing pisses me off like loosing a tiny bit, and that's exactly what happened.
That's one le of a bipod. The other is 100% gone. Which means it's time to scratch build. Ugh. I think I'll use brass wire, and maybe some metal from a beer can? I'm pretty annoyed with myself. I clearly remember putting both back in the blister, but it just have jumped out somewhere. I imagine that I vacuumed it up at some point.
Ok shit. It's not perfect but I'm quite pleased.
Like it's a bit fat.
Ok. Well it'll go on the back side.
