Just like exercising, I found I enjoyed myself once I got started. Just two hours later I had two finished planes. Result!
I painted up one fighta and one fighta-bommer. I hoped that painting two different models would stave off boredom and keep me at the painting station.
I decided to take some close-ups of the models. I'm not sure I'm doing myself any favours by showing them at this level of detail!
You can see in both photographs above another problem I've had with my Ork models in particular. The big shootas in the wings are so fragile that many of them have snapped off. I considered replacing them with some brass rod but the wings are so thin I'm not sure I'll be able to drill a hole to stick it in. I think I'll wait until I've painted all the planes before I make my decision.
You're far too self-critical :P The planes look awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat about snipping off the sharp end of a small safety pin? I've never worked with resin but maybe you could push it into the wing and add a little glue to keep it in place?
