The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted

This week I finished off the Skull Cannon from the SC box, which finishes that box off.  I then started work on the Titan Forge Lord of Decay (almost done) and prepared his base and the base for the Keeper of Secrets proxy.  While I was at it I also rebased my old Bloodthirster.

He was on a round 60mm base but under current rules he should be on a 120 x 92mm oval base.  I didn’t want to remove him from the old base as that’d damage him.  I also wanted to raise him up as his whip was already touching the table top, so I glued a piece of MDF under his base and glued that to the oval base.  This gave enough clearance under the whip to allow for basing materials to be added.  I glued down another piece of MDF elsehwere to break up the shape of his old round base, and then tried to build up sloped edges with PVA.  This didn’t work too well, but did help glue everything down and fill in some gaps.  In the end I made up a mix of PVA, Sand, and water and used this paste/concrete to build up a more natural slope and add some texture to things.  Once this was dry I coated it all in PVA and dirt, and then sealed that in with more watery PVA.  It’s not done a bad job, now it’s all painted up

My errata pack for Reichbusters turned up last week so I spent 2-3 hours integrating that.  It had to be done in one go as they didn’t print version numbers on anything so getting confused or lost was a high risk if I took a break. I’ve completed two more missions since, and theres three left to go in the box, and a fourth fan one I’ll probably do, which will check off another item from my 2021 Hobby Pledges.

To whoever it is who clicked all the bottons before I’d finished writing this or the previous update: Thanks for the love, but don’t you want to at least wait for me to finish before thumbs-upping and moving on?  There weren’t even any pics yet this week.
