Sat.8-16 - Strike Cruiser Update

Well, no pictures on this one. Sorry. Last week I said I wanted to finish the Strike Cruiser by the weekend. Hah! It is a week later and I am still working on it. Countdown: less than a week until GamesDay, and I start teaching on Monday. I did however, score the Brass-Etched Ultramarine sprue from a friend of mine, so I am jazzed about that.

Strike Cruiser - focus has been on the mid section - the top of the section with the side bombardment cannons as well as the (what I think are) bridge/super-structure parts. Of course there is a lot of detail work I want to do, but I have to remember that I need to paint this thing too.

Overall feelings on this project: mixed. Maybe I am just tired. I definitely have had fun, more towards the start than now. But I also have put hours and hours into this, basically any free time I had since June went into this. I have recieved some really nice complements from people, and that is really nice. I hope people love it when they see and play with it in my local gaming event we will run on GamesDay. After that, I was thinking of pulling it out in regular games to represent the new-planet-strike-crazy-death-weapon the new SM codex is supposed to give the Master or whoever it is. That should get some oohhs and aaahhs (& probably some cries of "Cheese!" and "Broken!" from the sounds of the complaints I have read about the new codex).

Well, that's that for now. If anyone is reading, I hope you enjoyed the read and previous pictures. I'll try to post some more in a while. Peace
