Pictures! (At Last) Vol.3

As there seems to be a limit to how many pictures I can upload to Blogger, I am using my photobucket account.

As you can see I almost have my Kommando squad painted, I have Strakhov and a manhunter painted as well.

Now to some more topical comments, Warmachine modles are increadable, they have so much detail, they are very nice weights and they are very dynamic to look at.

What they lack though is simply.. ease of construction, good lord, these truely have been the hardest models I have ever had the pleasure of putting together and painting. The Kommando's alone were almost the limit of my patience with their arms and the flamethrower is lucky to not have met the fate of a pair of tin snips to get that shield to sit right. I have never pinned modles as extensively as these have been.

The Alt. Manhunter has both her arms pinned, and that was an excercise in itself as the pins and drill I have are barely smaller than the ammount of material I had to work with (I have now purchased a smaller drill bit and smaller pinning material for further projects Alt.Manhunter(Lime) for example) but in the end they were done and they all came out looking supperb, I am sure others will say 'They aren't that hard' no they aren't in fact, but when the shields on the Kommando's don't have any markers to show where they are supposed to connect to the hand, and there are no chinks or resting spots for those hands to connect too the shields to allow it to rest while glueing, pinning is the only option.

Enough ranting, I'm planning to have the last of the Kommando's painted by the end of the week, and hopefully the Demolisher Warjack as well. And if I feel brave enough, I'll get Sorscha painted as well.
