  • Dakkajet Pilots and Blasta Bommer Paint

    Wrapped up the pilots for each of my three dakkajets last night, presented here 🙂 And he doesn’t look too bad nestled in the cockpit. Just need to finish the widscreen and base it. In other news, the blasta bomma, “Moar Dakka!!!” is no longer black and appropriately fasta! And a “Barry” shot for scale,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Big Old Mixed Bag Today

    Sheeze, three days back on the bench and it shows me what for… Did something today I haven’t done in nearly 20 years – drove an exacto deep into my finger. One of those stupid things where two seconds before it happens you’re thinking… “YA know, if that slips it’s gonna go deep and hurt…

  • Stormboyz keep marching on…

    Slow and steady wins the race, right? I must be winning something! I’ve put in about 5 hours over the last two weeks with a bunch of piddly stuff on the stormboyz. straps and buckles, control boxes, and a couple of weapons. I find that I’ve got the NMM for small and round things down…

  • These boots are made for stompin’

    Slow progressd on the stormboyz, but progress none the less. I decided since I was using these to waste time until we move into the new house (which we got – probably another 30+ days before move in) I was going to use these to test and push myself. I want to try using a…

  • Stormboyz get some new clothes.

    Selling a house (selling it well, anyway) is hard work! Whew! Anyone know of anyone in the central Minnesota area in need of a nice 5 bedroom rambler with a lot of party space? Anyway, I still have some painting I can do while everything else is packed. A neat bonus is if I finish…

  • Incoming!!!!!

    Well. just about everything in the house is packed and it’s all staged and ready for showing at any time. Let’s hope it sells sooner rather than later! I was smart enough to leave myself something to do if I got a chance. Ten stormboyz and two mekboyz are all I’ve got to work on…
