...this was probably one of the first models I bought beyond the battlebox because it's a highly recommended addition to a Khador army, but it's been unfinished forever - because the *&%#@ arms kept breaking off. Every. Time, I. Turned. Around. Every time I opened my bag the GD arms would be broken off. I finally scraped & drilled the sockets, stuck them on with Super Glue and Green Stuff, and have resolved to throw it in the ocean if they break off again.
Painting was pretty unremarkable, except I came across a bottle of Reaper Flesh Wash in my newly-filled dropper tray while I was working on it - I have no idea where it came from, as I didn't buy it, and don't remember getting it as a sample in a swag bag. I was even hesitant to try it, as it looks VERY purple right out of the bottle - but I wasn't really happy with how the skin tone was coming out on this model, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I was really pleased! It's much more natural looking when it dries than GW's Baal Red wash or the Army Painter red ink that I've been using lately.
I've got three of these, and never had a problem with the arms. With the female version, however, they've fallen off MULTIPLE times!
ReplyDeleteNice paint job!
