This Project is Completed
3 more done!
Three more Wolves done, Fond them very quick to do, having done the test mini to get my plans down!
Still working on where to place the shading on them using the Space Wolves Grey contrast paint.. But feel its getting better each marine!
Next task is the next batch of three! Project is moving on nicely I feel!
3 by 3!
Next batch of three Space Wolves completed and based!
with the last 3 marines well under way, I opened up the rest of that box of bits… clipped them all off the sprues and added to my bits boxes, leaving finally the Drop Pod to be made..
I have sub assembled bits and am spraying with different base colours to help speed up the painting.
The last 3
The final of the 10 man wolf pack are now complete, the last three flew in!
leaving only the drop pod to be done to complete the Spring Cleaning challenge will be complete for this year!
Bonus Drop Pod!
I was most surprised to find this drop pod at the bottom of this box! A nice surprise of course… until i remembered how much of a pain they were to assemble!
once I got it all assembled the door would not stay shut.. I didnt want to glue them shut as I have one like that already, and It so much nicer when you can see the full footprint on the table top!
So I decided to add a few magnets in as shown below to help.
Another very important step to help was a very slight filing down at the bottom of the doors. This helped with the clearance and the doors now shut perfectly 🙂
Pod work
With all the base coating done on the drop pod, I felt it looked a little clean so I wanted to try and dirty it up a bit.
Drop pod complete!
Pretty happy with how this one turned out!
Job done with it, added a few little scratches here and there and called it a day!
And with that the project is done!
Complete!
Job done, really happy with how this colour turned out… Maybe I like it more than my original grey for my Space Wolves… That may prove to be a pain considering the size of the army!
Learned a good deal with this project, the resin bases I enjoyed doing, and really pushing myself to try an alternative colour scheme.
