Currently deciding if next up is my second Spartan, or my Cerberus.

Probably the Spartan, as it should be a quicker job now I know what I want to do scheme wise.

Sod it, second Spartan in the spray box now.

Just that, the Cerberus and two characters left to go in that cabinet now.

Job for next month’s wages is to get some acrylic risers for the Epic Scale shelves though. And I’m hoping to find somewhere that does custom ones.

No…wait. Just remembered that further 20 MkVI Marines still on sprue.

Think I’m gonna look to make a Veteran Tactical Squad or two out of those. Gives me an excuse to get the Forgeworld Upgrade sets, and delve into the ever growing bitz and bobs box of delights.

Day 133

Under/basecoat on my second and finale Spartan. No pic because it’s fundamentally uninteresting.

But now that’s one, maybe pic later after I’ve started on the tracks.

Day 134

Here we go! Strong start on the tracks and one of the sponsons.

Day 135

Rivets and metallic blocking in, and some tidy up as I go.

Definitely making swift progress on this one.

All rivets and hull metallics done. Definitely gonna have this one finished tomorrow. Which means I’ll also be under/basecoating the Cerberus, ready for Friday/Saturday.

After that? This cabinet will just need the two AoD character models done, and everything in it will be painted. Which is a slightly surreal feeling.

Day 136

Very nearly finished the second Spartan. Just need this coat of red to dry, then do the second top coat.

Done, and the Cerberus is now in the spray box.

Day 137

Cerberus is well, well underway.

Once the current bits are dry, I’ll get the tracks dried. Tomorrow lunchtime whizz round and do the rivets, hopefully leaving just the red and copper for the evening.
