New vs. Old Assault Marine

An assault marine I painted 15 years ago versus one I finished today.  Keep in mind that I have not painted much in 15 years.

Test Assault marine almost done

Just needs to be assembled.  Some details added and some shading.

The rest of his bits

Nothing like a good crisp close up to show you where you screwed up your painting  sighhhhhhhh

Deff Kopta progress

Cleaned them up and re-glued them.  Some bits still did not go together well but I can fix that.  I was getting ready to pin the rotors when a friend (Hola mi amigo Celsork!) suggested using magnets...DOHHHHHHH.  Why did I not think of that?!?!?!?  So I'm ordering magnets tomorrow.

Assault Marines

Made some progress after stripping the primer off, cleaning up the models a bit and re-priming.  I started painting this fellow tonight to dive back into the hobby after a long hiatus.  I have to give Big Bad Bull and Airdale from the Freeboota forums a shout out for sending me some badly needed bits.

Cat's Deff Koptas

I bought 3 BR partially assembled deffkaptas off ebay for $10. When I received them I found that to ship them, the seller had snapped off the rotors before putting them in the box and worse wrapped everything so tightly that they had broken off some of the blades off the rotors.

Sighhhh

The partially assembled bit was bad too. I could have stuck the blade of a butter knife in some of the gaps where they had been "glued".

Long story short, these babies need a lot of TLC to be presentable

Grave site objective marker finished
