Let's Get Motivated - December 2019

I want to paint 10 skinks (3 done) and 19 saurus warriors (1 done)

 

God I've been shit at this the past couple of months haha. Once again aiming to finish my saurus unit and my D&D character miniature.

 

let's do a bit less this month i'm shooting for 30 irondrakes and 2 gyrocopters

 

Alright this month I’ll have a little list I wanna finish and hoping to start maybe finish list.

What I wanna finish:
-Warcry starter set terrain
-Cleaning, assembling/magnetizing the second hand Salamanders/Saurus

Want to start:
-painting both warcry starter warband

Will be a busy month been the Holiday and everything but I do have a good amount of time off and some project I can bring along with me at work.(I travel for living)

Best of luck to everyone!!

 

I REALLY need to finish my terrain piece for the competition on December 14th... I also would like to finish my Stegadon this month. I have had that model for about 3 years and it has remained mostly unpainted... I'm tired of not having it finished!

I am also going to Ikea on Sunday and buying a glass display case (the Detolf for all 2 of you who are interested) so I need to get that set up. I plan on adding extra shelves and adding lights to it to have all my models on display! It should look awesome, but it might be a bigger project then I intend it to be. I don't know if this thread is strictly for model stuff, but I will def post pictures on my blog when the display case is up and running!

 

Got to assembly the last cold one for batch painting, green-stuff-fix the batch, then start painting all of them. Trying not to paint more snakes instead of them

 

I'd like to do the following this month:

- finish another 2 Saurus Knights
- get real progress on my Orc Megaboss
Or
- start assembling my Stegadon

How are the sculpts? I have only seen pictures of them online but they look great from what I can tell. Are you running them as a Bloodbowl army or are you converting them to Aos?

 

i love them i got a team to use as alphas for my warrior blocks

 

This is me...

Who is sponsoring / running a terrain build competition?

Make that all 3...
Does IKEA deliver and set up?
I am kind of a long way from an IKEA.

 

My local hobby shop. They collect random toys and stuff throughout the year and you pull anything you want from the pile. You then cut it up, glue things together and paint it to make one cohesive terrain piece. All the terrain submissions will be used in a 40k charity tournament. If I place in the top three of the terrain comp, I will win a nice chunk of store credit

The store also has a massive collection of paints and modeling supplies I can use so it's really any money out of my pocket for the event. If you are interested, I posted my initial WIP photos on my blog here: http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/childishknight’s-machinations.23418/page-3

The Detolf is all glass so the pickup price is $60 BUT if you have it delivered (at least to my area), the price goes up to around $200 . I don't have one near me, but it's worth the 2 hour drive (4 hour round trip) to the closet Ikea to save 150 bucks. I convinced some friends of mine to come with me so it will be a fun road trip! As far as I know, they do not set up if you have stuff delivered, but it's 4 walls, a top and bottom and some shelves... not too complex from what it looks like. The lights and extra shelves might be more of a process to install though....

 

I just “read” through the wordless instructions. Looks like a 2 lizard job.

$49 dollars to deliver. Two would be $60 + $60 + 49 delivered. I guess I am not as far away from an IKEA as I thought.

Do the sell extra shelves? It looked like there are only three available shelf positions?...& Spot welded, fixed shelf supports.

 

There are aftermarket shelves you can get and cheap LED strip lighting to run along the inside. I'm sure there are videos and tutorials from people who have actually done it on the internet. I haven't looked very hard to find more info about modifying them

 

Did some research and found this: https://www.igorkromin.net/index.ph...a-shelves-to-the-ikea-detolf-display-cabinet/

He also has an article about dust-proofing the cabinet: https://www.igorkromin.net/index.ph...lay-cabinet-to-keep-your-collection-pristine/
