elmo Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Usual end of week update on my ETL progress... 3rd Company beginning to look almost complete with the torsos and legs for the 2 Devastator squads at about 90% and should be able to move on to weapons and packs next week and should be comfortably finished in time for the 15th Aug deadline... :) I plan to do the Company characters slow time after the ETL is complete as there is no chance of getting any done in time without some seriously late nights :( Interrogator Stobz, Bryan Blaire, Grand Master Belial and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 I think this one is going to be up to the wire.... I forgot how much time Devastators took :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Sorry to hear that man; is there anything that can help you? Is it the extra time on the big guns (which makes it like painting two models for me), or paint drying time, or...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks - I will just keep plodding away. It is the heavy weapons combined with the packs that take the time but I knew this before I started - I am just a glutton for punishment They will be completed by the 15th even if it means I need to do some long evenings - Can't let The Master of Recruits down ;) Brother Captain Arkley, Lostrael and Interrogator Stobz 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Seeing as each of your heavy weapon Devastators is like two models, you are really painting 28 models rather than 20! One thing I find helps if you use a lot of washes is to use a small hair-dryer to speed things up a bit. It may not save a lot of time on one coat of paint on one model, but over ten models with lots of coats of paint you really notice it. :) Anyway, keep your spirits and the good work up - I'm sure you'll still put slowpokes like me to shame! elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenz Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Elmo, first off, your comany is looking fantastic! Youre almost there man, just a little more. Secondly, on their left thigh, is that a pouch containing not 1, not 2, but 3 magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenz Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 That's great, thanks Elmo! I shouldve guessed Anvil. I'm having a lot of internal conflict with my models right now, and that just might solve it elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 This week I was mainly concentrating on the heavy weapons and with 1 week to go I still need to complete pauldrons, bolters, heads and packs on the Sgts and bolter marines.... It will be tight and I am expecting a couple of long evenings :( Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Good progress man! Don't kill yourself on all the details - as long as all the parts are painted by the deadline, you'll be fine. You can do a detail pass later on when you have a bit more time. :) Plus, you'll still get more done thsn many of us, and we'll still be here to enjoy the results with you. elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
