At Warmachine Weekend I was given quite a bit of great feedback and some great advice on my painting. With all of that fresh on my mind it's time to start on a new project.
I wanted to find a model that was both fun and challenging. I spent a about a week looking around the web trying to find something that would inspire me and challenge me, and then I remembered I had a Privateer Press Bombardier Bombshell still sitting in the blister.
For those who don't know what I am talking about, the Bombshell is a convention special model, It's big, fun and has a beer in her hand! Well here look.
Now I knew what to do, it was time to build. I started by spending about 2 hours removing mold lines and filing the pieces down to fit.
I wanted to do a display base for her as there is so much to this model I don't feel like a 40mm round base can do it justice.
As to the painting part it's a bit bigger and more fiddly than normal so I had to figure out a way to hold it while painting. I took 4 corks and taped the snot out of them for a good hold and the right size.
Everything that could be painted together was pinned and assembled and then it was time to prime.
So here we are, me waiting for the primer to cure and dreaming about getting some nice cherry red and chrome onto her. I'm thinking the model is going to be an homage to the 50s.
Stay tuned, this one might turn out epic. (or go down in flames, either way it should be interesting).
