Grot Gunners and Dakkajet Weathering
Paint. Paint. Paint! Sadly, only enough for the little grotty gunners 🙂 Finished up the grot big shoota gunner turrets and realized I’ve run out of Evil Sunz Red so the main painting of the bomma will have to wait until I have a chance to get to the hobby shop (hopefully tomorrow). Not that…

Completed Canopy on the Ork Blasta Bomma!
Sometimes you get stuck, you come to a roadblock that you can’t blow through with ease, something that stymies you for a good long time. That was the canopy for the blasta bommer for me. I’ve had time since I primed this beast and each time I looked at the canopy and was just blind…

Dakka, Dakka, Dakka!!!
Worked on the metallics today. I remembered a long time ago, Tamiya made a Gun Metal Blue that was really good looking for gun barrels. I figured I’d try to duplicate that on the many, many barrels these dakkajets have. The base metal color is a 70/30 Boltgun Metal/ Abbadon Black (I miss Chaos Black).…

Dakkajets getting new paint!
Need to slowly work back up to speed. I missed my workbench! These are three dakkajets I purchased and built for the local Apoc back in January, haven’t touched anything since then. I wanted to start painting the blasta bomma but I’m using these three fellas as a test bed since most of the paint…

Almost Finished! “Moar Dakka!” Starts Getting Primer!
Finished everything except the canopy tonight. Because of my schedule I know I won’t be able to finish it before Saturdays game. Oh well, not like they need a windscreen anyway, right? 🙂 I did magnetize the bombs so I can always swap them out later with Grot bombs or other fun ordnance. I’ve got…

Ding Bombs are Done!
Grrrrr. So close. I would be were I wanted to be if I hadn’t had to spend 4 hours in the ER waiting to be seen for my back. (injured it helping my brother move last weekend). Finished all bomb mounts and panels for the underside of the wings. I’ve got them sticky tacked on…

Bommer nearly complete!
2,400+ rivets, and a couple hundred more left to do. Wrapped up the tail section underside and all of the secondary plating and riveting. About 4 hours worth. Here’s where the beastie stands. THe only things left to do is the canopy: and the underside of the main wings with the clusters of bombs. Nearly…

Another Top Ten Music Finds – 2012
OK, another year, another reflection as to what I picked up sonically the last twelve months. Looking over the list there wasn’t anything from the old days like the Steelheart find last year. There was a surprise in the form of Van Halen as you’ll see (hear) below. Overall, this list is kinda close to…

Fuselage complete, tail gunner done.
Got some time last night and forced my self to do what I’ve been putting off for while, the final paneling of the tail section. Because of the amount of compound curves I was at a loss as to how to do it so it looked “proppa” but not too ramshackle as I’ve already established…

Tail section completed
Put some time in on the bommer this week. Spent three hours doing rivets on the tail before doing the final attachment. With this in place, it’s time to finish the tail section, blend in the tail wing and start finishing off the detailing. This marks the finish of the base shaping. I’ll need to…
