So with two big Jacks underway it was time to get the gunbunnies built! I built two right away and finished the third the day after I took these photos (the third is actually my fav - pics will come). These were really straightforward to clean and assemble.
As you can see I pulled out the Mr. Surfacer again and added a bit more cast texture to the mantlet armour - which I think should look real nice when painted. This stuff is really awesome and a lot of fun to work with. One additional application that I am thrilled about - coating the inner curve of the smokestacks! On the Gunners there is a small mold line that runs across the depression inside the stack. This is actually awkward to remove due to the concave nature of the section. Just a dab of Mr Surfacer took care of any damage I may have done removing the line. Smooth and easy. I also coated the depressions inside the brass tubes on the heavies to make sure that was all fully sealed in a way that wouldnt show the gap filling CA or any imperfections.
Ghorton himself didnt really require any special finishing - just a bit of pinning and filing, A dab of Mr surfacer on a couple of armour plates and voila! ready to cast. This meant that I was ready to treat myself to building the model I had been waiting for from the beginning - The BASHER!
A little more Mr Surfacer to create some contrasting cast plate textures and this bad boy is pretty much good to go!!!
Today the last of my basing/detailing supplies came in so in the next few days I will finish the models and be ready to start painting! Stay tuned for updates!
