2009 Painting Oath #1

[catalyst2]

DONE! WOOHOO!
Sorry about the crappy photos, the autofocus for close shots seemed to die after the LR pictures.






Painting the interior was fun, even if you can't see it now. The opening mechanism for the front hatch lasted about 30 seconds, damnit! If you can see bright pink around the sponsons, don't panic, it's just the Blu-Tak to keep them in place. Off topic but why do we still call it Blu-Tak when it patently isn't?












My favourite of this oath, I think. Simple but it looks good on the field.








I am not at all happy with the final look of these figures but enough is enough!







Overall, I think my painting is improving but still isn't good. In the end though, practice makes perfect as the cliche goes!

Nice work there! Does it take a long time?

It takes me a while - a combination of poor eyesight, a fine motor tremble in my left hand and the obsessive desire to get everything just right slow me down a lot. I am getting both a little faster and a little better though but I still have a long, long way to go!

The painting here took me about 10 hours, I think.
