Weekend Progress: Tim

Weekend saw a spat of progress although somewhat less than I was hoping for. Cyclops #1 got the highlights done on the Armor, Armor Trim, and Cloth. Each color got somewhere between 5-6 layers. I’m leaving the face guard as NMM steel, along with a few of the should plates and the Falchion. All of this will be completed, possibly today, and then I can move onto the next Cyclops, as well as the Titan. So far the Cyclops has taken about 7-8 hours. More than I really intended to spend on him, I just hope he comes out looking good.

Carniviean Carnival
I also delved into permanently assembling Thagrosh and a Carnivean from Everblight. And permanent maybe a little… uh… impossible. Not sure what was going on but I was having severe superglue bonding issues. To the point that I needed to hold a pinned joint for upwards of 5 minutes for it to bond enough to set it down. Then let it cure for another 5-10 minutes. VERY frustrating, particularly on the 14 piece Carnivean. Not sure what the issue was as the glue bonded the shredders very easily and I even scored both sides of the joint to increase the texture and surface area for bonding. But luckily over the course of three hours I got the Full everblight box assembled plus Thagrosh. Only the have the Carnivean’s head fall off as I tried to move him to a resting spot.

Goals for the week.
Lets see… I’ve got a final, Mothers day, and potentially some gaming this week. So Goals for this week is to finish off the first cyclops as well as a second model, then strt on a third. Probably The cyclops and Titan in the order. But I’ve started to get the jonesing to paint up one of the Trollblood Impalers so we shall see how things pan out
