Have you ever had one of those days where you have great, big plans of what you're going to acheive? ?And then it doesn't quite work out? ?I've had one of those days today! ?My day of 'Green Stuffery' didn't produce as much as I'd hoped. ?In fact either I'm out of practice with Green Stuff, or it should be renamed 'bloody difficult to work with stuff.' ?
I started out on the Objective with the Damocles. ?I added some ruined wall from plasticard, and I then planned to add a couple of Marines on 'look-out'. ?At this point, I was feeling inspired. ?'Wouldn't it be cool to convert one of the Marines so he was kneeling behind part of the wall? ?Shouldn't be too difiicult.
Oh, how wrong I was...
After much cursing, dropping and losing my first attempt, more cursing, and some more sticking and gluing, I finally got a Marine who looks like he's somewhere near to kneeling. ?Or, in this case, squat-running... ?Anyway, here's the finished result, the green stuff represents little hillocks (well, it makes sense in my head - and I need something to use that excess mixed GS on before it dries!):
I then made the second objective, for which I'd made the heavy servitor (and sliced open my finger) yesterday. ?I thought it would make quite a characterful objective for an Iron Hands army to have a Venerable Dread being recovered by an Iron Father under support fire from his command squad. ?Here it is, and you can see the minis this time!
Finally, I carried on with my 'secret' project. ?Two parts of this in particular require quite a bit of GS sculpting, and on one part especially this took a lot longer than I'd anticipated - infact I couldn't finish it today, hopefully tomorrow... ?But I got one part done - it's a dark pic, but you should be able to see what it is... ?can you tell what this project is going to be yet? ?
I also did a bit of GS sculpting on something which I also hope to finish tomorrow, and will post pics then... till then, enjoy!

like on the proper Scout legs, and tried to get the boots to look the same. This was a really fiddly job, I need to go back and smooth it out, but it'll do seeing as when it's on the finished objective/diorama you probably won't be able to see all the details! It tried to get detail picks to show my sculpting, but they didn't come out that well - I'll try again monday!
And I think the chances of me ever getting round to making a full army of them are slim - you've seen my work list!
