[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

The models are done!

I added pennants to the lances. The first try was to use my usual flag procedure, by doubling the flag, wrapping it around the pole and gluing the two halves together - but this time this failed miserably. With the tips, my cutting was not precise enough, and they did not fit at all.

With the second try, I painted both sides of the paper, and just left long strips at the end, which I then wrapped around the poles.

After a coat of gloss varnish, I added some black oil wash mainly to the pennants and the flag, and deepened some shadows here and there elsewhere. After adding static grass, a final coat of matt varnish sealed it all in.

[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Agyptian Pyramid¶

I finished the construction of the 4 inner walls. They will only be glued together/into place once painted.

Here are the cast blocks for the pyramid's outer walls.

I started by gluing the different wall segments seperately.

As a base, I use a 5mm MDF piece. I marked the outline of the pyramid,

then bevelled the edges.

Here, the 5 segments of the first level are glued into place.

Second layer added.

[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Agyptian Pyramid¶

Over the last months I cast a lot of Hirst Arts stuff, now I start having enough parts together to get building.

One of the projects I cast blocks for is an Agyptian Pyramid, using Sand Blasted Pyramid Mold #92 and Egyptian Pyramid Accessory Mold #96.

I started with the construction of the inner chamber.

[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

The last model, a hero, is done. I wanted him to stand out from the rest of the unit, which I think I archived, he is in more pastelly types of colours, and painted in not the strong ones used for most of his companions.

Now I only need to finish the bases of the unit.

[Frag]¶
Board and Miniatures¶

I didn't post in quite a while about this project, but wasn't idle either. I did cast quite a lot of Hirst Arts stuff over time, sometimes doing 3 castings a day, sometimes doing none for 2 months.

Slowly, I am getting the parts I need.

The game has the option to place barrels on the board, which you can shoot and then blow up. I use the barrel from mold Cargo Bay Accessory Mold #302, which looks a bit forlorn on a 1.5" square tile - so I decided to place three on one tile.

[Warfork 40.000 - Rogue Rules]¶
Imperial Flush Space Marines¶

Another project pending for way too long, when de-flashing and assembling the Battletech miniatures, I had the tools out to also finally continue on these models.

I made a mold from instant mold from an old terminator model (like two years ago already...), as I needed a gloved hand on a trigger for the rotary storm bolter replacements.

The casting is a bit crude, I filled both halves and then pressed them together.

I had two possibilities in mind of how to use the arms, and decided for the right one; the left one looked too unbalanced.

The sergeant got one of the hammers again.

Terminator with rotary storm bolter and terminator with flamer.

Terminator with rotary storm bolter and sergeant with rotary storm bolter and power hammer.

[Tool]¶
Paint Station¶

I already us a paint station from HobbyZone at home, now when I was looking for one to replace the one I built myself for my lunch break paintings in my office, I went for another one from HobbyZone, this time the medium sized one; the large one would not have fit in the file cabinet in my office.

As with the first, I did not only glue it, I also inserted some nails for added stability. Underneath, I again glued felt pads. I used my trusty Lego angle to help in the construction.

I did drill holes first, but I still got some cracking of the MDF when inserting the nails.

I now filled the cracks with PVA glue, which does not hide the cracks, but should prevent further cracking and keep the stability of the corners.

Defender Mark II¶

Another project pending, one Norman is waiting for for over a year now... well...

The guy that produces these wants to stop production, so Norman got three more before they are gone. Luckily, the first is only primed, so I can paint the four as a batch, ensuring colour continuity across them (you need to see the bright side of the long project duration :-) ).
