452 - Orks? ORKS?! - Yup...and an Al Fresco Threeway

And here it is [link] - I told you there'd be some 40K content up again, didn't I?

Had a smashing time at Zzzzzz's place a fortnight ago: I implore you to follow the link above and read all about it.

I've also managed to get in a game of Flames again at long last, so there'll be a post about that coming up soon...

'Til then,

PS: I'm at my dad's place a lot at the mo, which has next to no internet, so if you've seen something you think I''ll find interesting, do please let me know!

451 - Bofors 40mm S-P for Flames of War...Finished!

Yup - done. Happy Drax.

Pics:

Hand-painting those markings was...fun?

I changed some of the details to make it a wee bit more interesting* and found evidence for each of the choices I made except for the seat upholstery, but I didn't have a decent browny-beige (I can NEVER get any brown colour right), so they've been reupholsted in dark/black instead.

Cheers!

* The example on the Flames website is hopelessly dull, and lacks some accuracy too - at least as far as I can tell.

450 - Bofors 40mm S-P - Almost There!

With luck, these bad-boys will be more-or-less finished tomorrow:

[NB: The weirdly slap-dash small basing is because these chaps are likely to move eventually to a large bae with their vehicle. It's a temporary fix for now...]

All that's left to do now is the markings to paint, transfers to apply, sepia to wash on and basing for the small stands. Easy, right?

Yes, this is the same truck from both sides - I couldn't be bothered to fiddle with t'other vehicle too for the sake of a W-i-P!

More pics and more news soon,

Cheers,
